        Agreed! Plus now there’s a poacher vs recruiter in rodent town so Granato and Oseicki best beware.

        It would be nice to wake up to news of another blue chip forward. Losing Ranta and Cruikshank has really ****ed me off.

          We will be on the good side of it more often than the bad side, just like your school. If you aren't doing everything you can to win you aren't going to last long at the big hockey schools.

But opposing fans need to keep some of the reason for hating the other team intact to keep things interesting. IF we all start looking at the other teams and their fans as humans just like us, and the player as kids just giving it their best, and not accepting that the opposing fans are all lying jerks and players cheap-shotting, cheating, punks, what fun will it be watching the games?
            Meh, I’m getting too old for the banter. Love the rivalry and some good natured trash talking, but hard to really hate opposing fans anymore. I’ve also lived in Wisconsin for almost 20 years now, so hard to hate people from this state. That said, I am still a Gopher hockey fan to the core, and will be until I die.

              I don’t think Bob Johnson and Herb Brooks ever conducted themselves in such a scummy manner. Neither did Sauer, Eaves, Granato or Lucia. Fact.

                Lucia was a main proponent of killing the gentleman's agreement.

                Kids didn't commit before they got their licenses in the Brooks era.

                This Ranta thing is a weird one off that no one has actual facts about.

                  Well, there is a big boy from out east I like and would be willing to make a trade. Watched him play beantown summer classic. Patrick Keegan Jr. Is a beast. If you guys don't want him let me know. He'd look real good in a Maine uni.

                    Well, if the problem indeed has to do with his TOEFL Test score, and people are certain he speaks great English because he attended a U.S. high school during his USHL time, it seems to me that tanking the test would be an easy way for him to get out of his Wisconsin commitment and open up other options...

                        Johnson and Brooks were recruiting 18 year olds about 6 months before they started playing collegiate hockey. Until recently, kids weren't committing as early as they are now. Do you think schools that over-recruit might also see an issue in the long run?

                          That would require a lot of forethought, how would you gauge while taking the test you are doing bad enough not to get into UW and good enough to get into a safety school to the west? Doesn't see plausible.

                            I highly doubt many high end recruits care as much about the educational quality of the schools as they do the quality of the hockey programs they are considering. Most don’t plan on staying more than a year or two, and few who stay that short of time go back for their degree. Some do, but many don’t. So I don’t think the term “safety school” applies much.

                              If a player plays 2 years in college, goes pro, then has a career ending injury and subsequently has finish their degree and get a real job, it will indeed matter if they went to a safety school or a real university.

                                First off, we can save the hyperbole. I graduated from Eau Claire and am making a very good living. But I do agree that having a college education would be extremely beneficial. That doesn’t mean a high percentage of top-end recruits that only stay a year or two go back. I’d say even a smaller percentage who know they won’t be staying long put education above their hockey development.

                                If what you’re saying is true, how does North Dakota get any recruits over Minnesota and Wisconsin?
