They are loading up on talent.
Harvard is doing very well too. Makes me sad.Right now there is BC, BU, and UM recruiting and then there is the rest.
NIL related?Eiserman decommits. Yup.
Last season was the year.
The last six months have been absolutely devastating for Gopher hockey.
I think part of me that lived and died by Gopher hockey died in Tampa. The empty feeling walking out of the arena in silence, and getting back to the hotel staring out the window for almost an hour, numb.
The recruiting in the last 12 months: nothing special
Hobey Baker winner leaves and you bring in a D3 kid
Your best recruit leaves
Gophers are going to need some help from above to win a title the next two or three years now that Eiserman is out of the picture.
I know it's fatalist but we really need a spark or something...
Bob has been very anti-portal and with five forwards already lined up that could potentially come in to replace Nelson/Brodzinski/Snuggerud I doubt he'll be super active next spring, either.but also is the joy the portal in that we should absolutely be an easily active player to pick up high end guys.
which, if so, he thinks the guys he has coming in can compete for the BIG and National title. Bob knows you don't get extended runs here. He's not going to throw a whole season in the bin to "build".Bob has been very anti-portal and with five forwards already lined up that could potentially come in to replace Nelson/Brodzinski/Snuggerud I doubt he'll be super active next spring, either.
Looks like BU, not BC. A little surprising.Probably. Imagine he ends up at a Boston school and my guess would be BC with Hagens.
Not really. His buddy and #1 overall Celebrini will probably stay another year and be favorites for a championship (maybe a back to back) with him and maybe Hutson stays an extra year.Looks like BU, not BC. A little surprising.
Got it. Not that up on BU (nor BC for that matter) roster.Not really. His buddy and #1 overall Celebrini will probably stay another year and be favorites for a championship (maybe a back to back) with him and maybe Hutson stays an extra year.
Both are LOADED and going to remain loaded.Got it. Not that up on BU (nor BC for that matter) roster.
Probably. Things seem to run in cycles, though. For a while the best teams were in the old WCHA, then the East Coast won a bunch, then UMD, Denver, NDak and the NCHA. I'd argue that that last 3 years the BIG had the best teams, at least the most talent. BC and BU might have a run, but it won't last forever.Both are LOADED and going to remain loaded.
Going forward whoever has the most NIL money will rule, and it seems the Gophers are not competing in that department. Will need to rely on getting the top Minnesota kids out of loyalty to the state.Probably. Things seem to run in cycles, though.

I wish the part of you that posts on message boards stayed in Tampa as well.The last six months have been absolutely devastating for Gopher hockey.

Yep. BU and BC are going to be tough the next few years. But let’s not forget when everyone handed Michigan the NC when they had 5 first rounders on their team. OopsBoth are LOADED and going to remain loaded.
But then how would we know how badly we are going to suck?I wish the part of you that posts on message boards stayed in Tampa as well.
And not just now, we are going to suck forever. We can't afford any good players, and we will never have another shot at a championship.But then how would we know how badly we are going to suck?
Yep. Pretty much sums up the situation. This is probably the last year we have a shot at splitting a series with St. Thomas.And not just now, we are going to suck forever. We can't afford any good players, and we will never have another shot at a championship.
Exactly. Like Mr Brooks once said. I don’t want the best players, I want players that are best for the teamBU and BC are loaded but have they won anything lately? UMD went to 4 straight Frozen Fours and they didn't have out of this world recruiting any of those years. Recruits aren't everything.
Absolutely preposterous statement.Yep. Pretty much sums up the situation. This is probably the last year we have a shot at splitting a series with St. Thomas.
Hint: he's being a tad sarcastic.Absolutely preposterous statement.
