yes it's interesting, but it's old news.
funny how when the big schools do it, things are fine, but as soon as it becomes something that everyone else does, oh we have to stop this hoarding. Sounds pretty sour grapes by certain big schools if you ask me.
I'm very happy to see these two new schools looking at D1, and hopefully both apply.

You can always bring in 20 year old freshman from Canada.

Maybe WI should recruit players who plan to stay more than 1-2 years and they it wouldn't be a problem for them. I'm sure MTU and other programs would be happy to take the burden of handling all that talent off their hands.

I haven't heard anything about Max Vallis in a long time. Can anyone confirm if he'll be playing for the Huskies this year? Based on his previous stats, I think he'd be a pretty good addition.

For smaller programs, I think a big stockpile of verbals is a sign of good, aggressive recruiting. The field is already tilted in the big school's favor by virtue of visibility. Do they really need the added advantage of being able to poach talent from smaller programs who have worked hard to get the commitments? Sure, dropping the agreement might be better for certain players, but it won't be better for college hockey as a whole.

The biggest thing against what He says is MTU has a wide range of ages among recruits. There really isn't a log jam with recruits from 20 to 16 committed.

The one thing that I would think ending the Gentlemen's agreement would do is that it would keep a lot more kids overall in play before they sign up to go to the CHL and thus become ineligible for the NCAA. Having bigger schools like BC, North Dakota, Michigan going almost to SEC football lengths to get a kid to sign for them on signing day would help kids to thing about keeping the NCAA route available to them, and smaller schools would benefit with the extra amount of kids who retain their NCAA eligibility.

It just happens.

To those who have been around long enough to understand this reference: Carly, yes that Carly, was on the Power Trip Morning Show on KFAN in the Twin Cities this morning.
Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

I would assume so, kid played for Shattuck-SM in 2009-10 but has been in the NAHL since. Certainly has the kind of numbers recently that make him a good third string goalie with potential to grow into a starting roll with Copley and Phillips leave.
