Re: LSSU Lakers 2019-20
I've been mulling that over. On one hand, by being in the NCHC, you're facing some of the top teams in the nation every weekend, with NoDak, SCSU, Minnesota-Duluth. Even if Miami is bad, there will be players who join the team to test their worth against the tough teams.
But on the other hand, are you going to get the same quality of recruits being on the losing end of things and compared to joining the nCCHA where there (on paper, at least) be a bit more parity, especially if it's a 1-for-1 with Mankato. Give the program a few years after the move and while they might not be dominate, I could see them fighting for a middling spot - much better than what they're doing out west.
But while we can speculate all we want, only time will tell how this is going to shake out.
