This was in the Top 25 Greatest Teams thread. I had never addressed you (didn't really even know who you were up until this point)...
Then of course this is from the Austin Smith thread where I posted a link to an article about how College Hockey Weekly had Austin Smith as their lead candidate for the Hobey...
If I had more time and cared more I could go find numerous other examples...
It really doesn't matter though, as this thread is actually a pretty good one for discussion. Well done.
Look at the dates on those posts. That was long ago when I first started posting here. Since then, I've been trying my best to avoid you. Lately it has been you who is seeking me out.
Now, if you have a top recruiting class, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, please keep the drama out of this thread.

Guy just can't take a compliment...yeesh.
I would say that recently North Dakota's class of '09 (recruiting class of '05) was pretty good...
D - Taylor Chorney (14-59-73)
F - Ryan Duncan (85-87-172)
D - Joe Finley (7-28-35)
D - Zach Jones (1-10-11)

UVM recruiting class of 1994 (graduating class of 1997):
--Martin St. Louis
--Tim Thomas
--Eric Perrin
Obviously, two of these guys are all-time NHL greats and winners of the Hart, Conn Smythe, and Vezina trophies, among others. The other spent some time in the NHL and was part of a Stanley Cup winning team. Overall, a pretty decent class. Possibly the best ever.....

Year after year, Michigan is typically said to have the top recruiting class no matter what. It has widely become a running joke in these circles.
No. There was one Michigan parent--whose kid hasn't played college hockey for like 5 years, so it was a long time ago--who used to talk up Michigan's recruiting, and about a dozen Gopher fans who got all offended, because how could any team recruit better players than David Fischer and Pat White? Those Gopher fans never seemed to grasp that the real joke was their lack of self-awareness.

Speaking of Michigan and Minnesota. Look at their projected combined recruiting class for 2013. There are going to be some awesome battles between these teams in the BTHC.

Sure. No one from Minnesota got the joke at all. Only you.
