Holy ****ing ****. This may be the dumbest hockey post I have ever read on this site.

Really Genius? Go to Heisenbergs recruiting site ( probably never heard of it, just google it). Look over the entire list and then give me your examples of brilliant recruiting. Good luck, all of these players could end up any where and will have exactly the same impact. Recruiting prowess............I'd throw darts.

Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
Spoken like someone who's watched but never played hockey. Hockey is one of those true team sports that demonstrates the impact every player has on the whole. I'd argue that a team's low end is a far more significant determinant of wins than the team's high end. When a team makes big strides, it's rarely because the blue chip players stepped it up. It's because lunch bucket lines got better and the team chemistry improved. A coach can bring in several NHL draft picks and still get beat consistently by a well disciplined team of blue collar players. Witness any Ferris team of the past several years as opposed to the current batch of B1G teams.

Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
I could give hundreds, and so could everybody else on this board. wow, that's easy.
but one example will do the job:
Ryan Carpenter, Sioux City Musketeers -> BGSU Falcons -> Worcester Sharks
every coach in college hockey knew that Carp was a special player, didn't take an hockey genius to figure that out. not only for his hockey skills, but his leadership and academics. He could have gone anywhere in college hockey.
He picked BGSU, playing for second-year coach at a rebuilding program.
getting him to commit to BGSU was recruiting genius.
get it?

Let me guess, you never got that recruiting letter from AIC and are now bitter?

wow, this is like trying to school a dyslexic 8-year-old.
last time I checked, 18-15-6 is over .500. that recruiting class helped turn a program around--from the chopping block to winning ways. credit to the coach for bringing in quality kids.

Re: Arizona State Moving To D1
Does anyone expect ASU to go after and more importantly sign Auston Matthews, an unsigned member of the USNTDP who is from Arizona?

I guess they could try, and it would make a nice story, but being realistic, Matthews has the potential to be the number one overall pick in the NHL Draft. There's no way any advisor would let him go play half a club hockey schedule next year or go play for a coach that has never had a full-time job in hockey.

They'll pretty much have to fly everywhere anyway. The "short" bus rides to Denver & CC will top 14 hours.

Pretty tight hockey community in AZ. Would not be surprised to see him one year and on to the dub.

ASU will have no bus rides. All flights. Only bus rides for DU and CC are to each other or AFA. Rarely DU has bused to UNO. Mostly they fly to UNO.
I don't see Auston Matthews ever putting on a college sweater. I see him going to CHL. He has said it is 50/50 NCAA/CHL. Even though he is high on 5 school's lists, if he is truly the #1 pick he could play for Mars or Saturn.

ASU may have some conference mates joining them.
