He said one of the biggest reasons, in addition to Gopher Hockey tradition, for choosing the Gophers was the opportunity to go live in Minneapolis and go to school at the U. <BR/><BR/>Nice backhand there. The Ralph is nice but what else is there to do in Grand Forks? Get stuck in an elavator on Saturday night?

Do you know if Stepan was in fact offered an opportunity to play at Minnesota? Or are you just going by what an anonymous poster on this site said?<BR/><BR/>The BADgers over the years have successfully recruited Minnesota kids. You can't expect to get them all. Sag's may not be part of the coaching staff but he is a Badger that was part of a National Championship winning team. To suggest that that holds no influence is what is laughable on your part.<BR/><BR/>What is your excuse Siouxper, for not getting Ness? He had real family ties to NoDak yet rejected them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-33249133915809455892008-01-10T23:11:00.000-06:002008-01-10T23:11:00.000-06:00LOL, yeah that's why Stepan chose Wisconsin over M...LOL, yeah that's why Stepan chose Wisconsin over Minnesota, because his dad played HS hockey with the former Badger announcer. You know how silly this sounds!!! Last time I checked Sagisoor had nothing to do with the coaching staff. Every other year kids are turning down daddy's alumni, but yeah since daddy played hs hockey in the 80's with a future Badger that put UW over the top over UM.<BR/><BR/>Excuses, Excuses Minny fans, this might be the worst of them ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-43141854655247500852008-01-10T09:54:00.000-06:002008-01-10T09:54:00.000-06:00Stepan's dad was a Hastings high school teammate o...Stepan's dad was a Hastings high school teammate of former BADger Tom Sagissor and Kristo's NoDak ties can be found at: http://gfheraldsiouxhockey.blogspot.com/2006/08/sioux-nab-top-prospect.html.<BR/><BR/>Not that tough to find.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-61410190784642565362008-01-10T09:41:00.000-06:002008-01-10T09:41:00.000-06:00Kristo's father is good friends with the executive...Kristo's father is good friends with the executive vice president of UND's alumni association according to Brad Schlossman of the Grand Forks Herald.

Don't know about Gardiner but all you need to do is check Heisenberg's site to see that Coach Lucia has a lot of high end talent committed. <BR/><BR/>What's your problem anyway? These rankings pertain to how the PRO's view these kids. <BR/><BR/>How many of these players has YOUR favorite coach gotten commitments from?
