I don't think so at all. If we recruit better classes form the high school ranks, and retain at about the same rate we do currently... that could be a good formula.

I actually think this might be a good strategy. If you rely on the portal and you don't have as much NIL money as other places (I am assuming this to be true for football at least), then aren't you fighting a losing battle by competing with those schools for the same top transfers? And if for...

That was a freaking horrible, one-sided call. Both guys should have been in the box.

That That has nothing to do with my point

Based on your usual stance that Bob is a horrible recruiter, I'm surprised you wouldn't think it's WAY MORE LIKELY to get all the Cullens if Bob "bails."

I'm thinking that Bob does go away at the end of this year, but it will be positioned as a "mutual agreement". It will be well-vetted with any incoming recruits. Bob might stick around with another advisory job in the athletic department or something but my gut tells me that this is his last...

And btw, you didn't answer my question about finding a single quote on this board from someone claiming to know that Gopher hockey had as much NIL funding as MSU. You won't answer that because you can't.

Yes, I believe that MSU likely does have more NIL funding devoted to hockey. I have never said otherwise. But I don't know that to be a fact and I don't know the magnitude of the difference. Nobody does, yet you claim to. Make you happy?

I use the "no one knows" angle because... no one does know. Including you. If the sole factor in determining where recruits sign is money, then yeah it would be safe to assume that we have less. But you say Bob is a terrible recruiter and terrible coach. You say the assistants suck. You...

The way you phrase things is fricking ridiculous. Find me one quote. One. Where anybody on this board claims to know that the Gophers NIL is the same as MSUs'. There have been a few people, myself included, who state that nobody knows what the NIL funding is. I stand by that.

I think this is a pretty good shot at it. But I'd add Gruba and probably Rombach to the TBD list. And I'd move Moore to the "keep" list.

I am angry about that. He gave away the puck like he did not care and was actually trying to lose the game. At least try.

Maybe I'm an idiot then because I knew it would be a down year but I didn't think we'd be this bad. We frankly should not be. From a pure talent standpoint, we have way too many draftees to be this non-competitive. I thought the goalies would improve at least a little bit. I thought maybe...

The bolded part is the most concerning thing. Not going to name the players but there are several of them. But I do think part of that regression is being asked to play top end roles when they should be second or third liners. We are missing those 4-5 very top end guys. If we had them, I...

I generally agree with this. I'm not sure if 6 is the number but we need a big overhaul. There is a balance though, as both you and Vanek allude to. I would not be in favor of blowing it completely up, the way Colorado football did a few years ago. That got them a decent season or two but...
