Hudson Fasching has committed to the Gophers.

They do it to cut expenses.

Unofficial visit. Can't take an official visit til senior year. I'm not concerned. Apparently Parker Reno was at their game last night too.

From what I understand, BTN's main camera was in the same place that FSN has theirs. However, I guess BTN did not have it perched up high enough and that is why you'd see the back of somebody's head at times on Saturday. Hopefully they learned a lesson from it and do better next time. As for...

Yep. Michael Brodzinski committed. A little surprised as I thought they'd hold off on the defense for a bit but I'm not gonna complain. :)

Heard various things but not enough background on it to give you a great answer. Needless to say, I don't think it is hurt him one iota. Playing well at Waterloo.

Well JackiO... they brought in all three. Hopefully that is OK with you. :) Cammarata committed to the Gophers. Although not surprising, it is a major catch. This staff is on a big time recruiting roll right now.

Those shot numbers are horribly misleading. A lot of them were not high quality shots. Duluth was throwing a lot of junk shots on net (long range shots, bad angle shots, etc). Shots that any good goalie is not going to have trouble with. I also think the scorekeeper had a bit of a liberal idea...

It is pretty uncommon to have more than 8 defensemen on a roster. We will already be plenty covered for next year as it is. I could see them going for a guy that can come in 2013 if needed to cover our bases. But I don't see a ton of need with what we know right now. I'm not surprised at all...

I hear defensive recruiting may be a little more patient on the next move. If nobody went pro on defense, the Gophers will have everybody returning next year plus potential add ons in Skjei and Reilly. If somebody like Alt goes pro next spring, we'd still have nine potential d-men for 2012 (and...

I'm not concerned about roster numbers. We have a large sophomore class right now. So we'll have definite needs in 2014 (and some of these guys will be coming in that year). No doubt that the focus will be more on defense once we see a few of these forwards finally decide. Could be one...

It will be interesting what Mario does. I get the feeling he is waiting it out to see where Notre Dame ends up for a conference. I'll be surprised if he picks Notre Dame if they decide to be a part of Hockey East. That would obviously mean Mario isn't playing around the MN area much. I feel...

I spend most of my time on Twitter and GPL so I don't come here as often. But I will stop by at times and contribute.

Well JackiO, We're not done. It is great vibes back for the team... and recruiting.

They were recruited on their own merits. Nanne was getting interest from some good schools in his own right. But it obviously doesn't hurt to have a cousin on the team too. I can't say 100% but I think Fasching will take a little while yet. I am pretty sure there will be a few others before he...

I don't entirely know who all offered him but I think it is safe to say when you have the Gophers and UND offering you, many other schools would like to have you. I am not sure what class they will be coming in as. My suspicion is they will finish out HS hockey, graduate, play a year of USHL...

Vinni Lettieri (another of Lou Nanne's grandsons) has committed to the Gophers. He picked them over North Dakota.

I think we have done fine outside of the state. We just haven't really landed "big fish" types. Although I suppose Haula kind of qualifies to some degree. My focus on Guertler is mainly because he is among the top few kids in the US at that age group. I don't care if he isn't on the NTDP. He is...

That's a good top 4 and we have a good shot with all four of them. My personal feeling is the most important in that group is Guertler. Not necessaily because he will end up the "best" player of the four but more because of other factors. He is a top US player that is from outside of MN (yes, he...

I don't know if you mean Tyler but he'd probably be a ways off. If you are talking about Vinni Lettieri, that is certainly a possibility in the coming months. We'll see.
