It's true, it's just old enough to have been mentioned near the end of last season's thread.

Curious post from the sinner poster who kinda behaves like a yuckee poster. Claims inside knowledge but then posts something about a recruit decomitting from the tunnelers that has been known for a while. I mean when ya know, ya know....

Anywho...The tunneler staff has been doing some work (wether it is good work or not remains to be seen) on the 2028 recruiting class, getting 3 commitments so far. eastcoastgopher posted the lastest commitment on GPL as Callie McCullough (BK Selects).

Tunneler staff definitely doing so work on the recruiting front. 4th commitment is Mia Sutch of Centinnial High School in Minnesota.

I have to assume at this point that these 4 young ladies did not get the message that the yuckeyes ARE the future.

I don't know about the other 3 commits in this class so far, but Mia Sutch has been playing Celly League in MN this summer and, notwithstanding being 2-4 years younger than nearly all other players, has been a standout. She looks to be the real deal.

All 4 are very solid recruits for the tunnelers but definitely looking forward to seeing Sutch and Chimera in maroon and gold.

McCullough makes three RHD from Connecticut to the Gophers since 2024. Two transferred in, but I find it notable.

At least Mossey didn't end up with you know who......

Or Lovell.

 

[eastcoastgopher]

Or Lovell.

I would pick losing to OSU five years in a row before I pick losing to Wisconsin.

Still stand by this.

I don't know ... is there such a thing as a good team to lose to? Just based on 2014-15, I got sick of losing to Bemidji. It wasn't fun losing to the Whioux when they had the twins, and there was nothing -- nothing -- worse than losing to UMD during a certain era. But until we remember how to defend, we are going to have to accept losing to all sorts of random teams.

For me, the staw that broke the camel's back was losing to Northleastern this past year in the tournament. losing to WCHA teams is one thing but losing to a Hockeyleast team?Sheesh...That was a truely crap the bed performance and as painful as the coaching change was, That change needed to happen.

It is somewhat funny that the muzzinator was not able to lure any of the 3 tunneler decommitments for 2027. Then again, maybe they have all the best recruits and just didn't need anymore...
