There are players 1-2 -3 years older and bigger/stronger/faster who've already played D1 hockey and for whatever reasons are looking for a new situation who can help a class more than all freshman.

For the sports where the numbers on the field/court/rink are limited one or two players can have more of an impact. (If you can get a Kenneth Walker even in football) Seems like we will see if this model of building a team works on a longer term, but coaches have to try it.

Could be a big boom for MSU and others. Seems like the same teams have been sucking up all the talent for the past few decades. There should be plenty guys looking to make a move.

Unfortunately, I guess MSU missed out on adding Reilly and Jonesy to the staff.

Really nice piece here by College hockey Network about the Spartans… I’m pretty excited for puck this year.
Speaking of, we should have an outdoor game here again. Maybe vs ND or something would be fun.

If you can't recruit at Michigan State, then you can't recruit.

I haven’t been to a game at Munn in years, but he’s been dead 7 years and we’re just now doing this? Long overdue.

I'm guessing the reasoning was to wait until the Munn renovations were complete.

Hard to say, but we were 18-18-2 last year and missed the dance by probably 1 or 2 wins. In terms of news rankings, we realistically need to be within the top-15 to make it, although technically it’s done by Pairwise rankings.
Potential for the B1G? It’s a best of 3 tournament, so anything can happen. We’re right there in the mix with the top teams (Minnesota and scUM)
