Totally agree with OTC here. I've been reading a lot of comments about EP this year and "recruiting" and maybe I don't know the players well enough but Steeves would be the only one that I understood that got people riled up. Best player on the team (Mr. Hockey candidate) moves into the state for his senior year. I thought I read that his parents are originally from MN? So not that crazy, and no different than Hogg or Aitken, to use two recent examples.O-townClown wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 11:34 pm Recruits?
Why all the ire at Eden Prairie only when top programs routinely attract players? Edina, Burnsville, Jefferson, etc.... Wayzata added Clayton Keller's brother and you're upset with Eden Prairie for having kids from Eden Prairie that you don't think should be there? GMAB Not your call.
I think it's cool that HS hockey in Minnesota still attracts players.
Langenbrunner, I guess I don't know if the "closer to the airport" was a legit reason but he obviously did move to EP, whether it was an apartment or the family moved, I don't know.
Blake grew up in EP, right? Just left for SSM for a year then came back - and sat out for it. Doesn't seem like recruiting to me?
Are there other players on EP this year that people think are recruits?
Can you give examples? I'm legitimately asking as I don't remember hearing recruiting complaints about EP in the past?Sponge Puck wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 9:59 pmSmith has brought in more then anyone over the last fifteen years.
