Son, nephew, whatever; I hope that MS7 and his associates can reel him in. :-)

They won’t. At the very least they better have been one of the schools offering him for next season...

Another disappointment.

Question for CHC and Dan...aside from limited resources, why wouldn’t Souza recruit more from Europe? No contacts or in-roads? 😉👍🥅🏒

2 Germans - Tim Stützle & Timo Bakos - plus 2 Swedes - Filip Engaras & Kalle Eriksson - have committed to UNH in the last couple years. Souza has contacts in Europe and has travelled there to recruit in person.
 
Nice to see UNH commit Alex Gagnes name on the roster for this event!

I’d imagine it’s entirely about resources - both time and money. There are only so many recruiting days and they’re certainly operating on a budget. It’s also much easier to get to a US Showcase, a BCHL or USHL and see an entire game or tournament full of interested prospects as opposed to heading to Europe to see one or two (with the rest set to turn professional)...

Turn over every leaf, aggressively target and move on the top kids. Be convincing.

It’s not about first round draft picks. It’s about 100+ point scorers at the NCAA level (and landing 6 or more of these kids at any one time). It’s about legit puck moving defenders (and 3-4 of them). They need to look long and hard at what UMass did and do the same...

Oh, nice grab. Where'd you see this - I cant find confirmation and wasn't even aware he had decommitted from North Dakota (Long time Fighting Hawk commit and well regarded NHL Draft prospect). This is why the best answer to Chuck's quiz regarding top recruiting follows on our threads is Watcher...

Would be interesting if his moving on from UND is in anyway tied to them beating UNH for Scott Morrow...

Re: UNH Commits & Recruiting: 2019 and Beyond

Luke Reid withdrew his commitment to North Dakota in mid-November. Originally projected to enroll at ND in Fall 2020, they did not offer him a National Letter of Intent so he renewed his search: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sp...key-recruits-wont-be-inking-Letters-of-Intent

Reid is the 3rd defenseman, in recent years, to commit to UNH after "decommitting" from a top college program and renewing a search for a new program. Max Gildon withdrew his commitment to Wisconsin and Will MacKinnon decommitted from Denver.
