    JDUBBS - thanks for the info...

    ****...

    one thing is 100% certain. Minnesota has obviously turned the corner and then some on recruiting and could be in an FF as early as 2013 and most definitely by 2014 if 1/2 these kids don't bolt...yikes

        I hope so. What I like is that they finally seem to be bringing in a healthy mix of blue chip prospects (Michaelson, Geurtler, etc) and 3-4 year guys (Rau, Kloos, Lettieri, Nanne).

        Still a few areas where we don't even come close to matching up to you guys yet. Defense and goaltending. I guess it's a wait and see how some of the young guys develop and whom they bring in, but it's been a long time since we've had a Martin, Ballard, or Goligoski.

          love the recruiting update!

          I can't wait to see Kerdiles and Zulinick in Madison. Corbin Mcguire I am still hoping can turn it on and come in as a potential 20-30 point scorer out of the box but we'll see...

          do we have the next Pavelski and Earl in Kerdiles and Zulinick??? time will tell

            Kerdiles is going to be a good one.

              we're all hoping so for sure. I'm trying not to get too excited but reading the press clippings sounds like he's a legit blue-chip...and @ forward it's been a while since UW brought someone that talented in... I don't think Earl and Pavelski were that highly regarded (1st round pick material)...possibly Turris but I don't remember they hype on him as much

                Well, Earl and Pavelski were two different recruiting classes but this combination certainly has the potential to rival them in production at the NCAA level. Kerdiles and Zulinick are the real deal.

                    Since when has Minnesota recruiting been a problem much less a solution at this point? If recruiting accolades won hockey games....few would compete with them. Further....sorry I just don't see a significant change in their recruiting anyways. Their D commits are hardly anything to get overly excited over and their pattern of assembling a collection of highly regarded forwards has generally failed to achieve great results since they had Ballard, Leopold, & Paul Martin on D. But yes...their highly regarded forwards (at least while they stick around) should put some pucks in the net...maybe even more often then their opponents are scoring on the other end of the ice.

                      That's because we've had John Hill recruiting and developing our defenders the last 4 years. I fully expect to see improvement in this area under Guentzel. We shall see.

                      And as you mentioned, recruiting accolades don't always result in on-ice performance. You need the right mix of blue chip prospects and 3-4 year guys. What has really hurt the Gophers recently, in addition to the poor recruiting and development on the defensive side, has been the rash of 1-year departures.

                      Every team loses players early, but losing guys after only a year is especially tough. Not only do you lose their top-end talent, but it forces you to accelerate the timetable on guys who might not be ready (Aaron Ness).

                        I don't like it believe me but they've gotten some nice commits recently and I (unfortunately) feel that booting hill and adding guentzel has given them some serious momentum in the recruiting game...

                        I'm hoping the sophs can pull UW into a top 5 finish...I'm getting a bit apprehensive to be honest

                                Last I checked, one of your recruits (Kerdiles) is ripping it up for the NTDP and you have two outstanding freshmen goaltenders, so I wouldn't get too down.
