Just don't sit around hoping for him and end up without him and without any centers.
With the NCAA stuff going on, there must be some solid 2006s and even 07s looking to get on campus ASAP now
Could be a top 15 team but when you play in the Big Ten they'll get beat up on and that'll make it tough to make it. Plus UMD and UND series could easily be four losses.
I know on the center thing. But you're getting an injured Smith and you might only get him for half a year. If any of those top D wanted to be Gophers you'd take them.
Good lord I hope you're not seriously thinking those pickups would be similar to Reid/Carels/Verhoef/Dupont/Rudolph/Lin/Villeneuve... Wow is that a long list of the best D going elsewhere.
It's fun being an also-ran.
"I’m told Daxon Rudolph has narrowed his NCAA options down to three schools:
• Denver
• Michigan State
• Boston College
Rudolph is expected to visit Denver in the coming days as programs continue pushing to finalize next year’s recruiting classes."
After that couple hours last year where it seemed like McKenna to the Gophers was possible, I will still wait until I see it to believe there's any actual smoke or chance of it happening.
Maybe the Gophers should be looking to the ECHL for a center.. ASU just took this kid. What a joke.
