I don't think it's a reach at all to suggest the CHL is far better at developing forwards than the NCAA. Even if UND is ahead of it's peers on that score.Mark-Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204493092400924142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-36997372520030401012011-07-16T11:40:00.724-06:002011-07-16T11:40:00.724-06:00Dean, there are a lot of us that are all for chang...Dean, there are a lot of us that are all for changing the rule but the powers that be have no intention of changing that rule.Eric J.

Maybe he's just not a student. <br /><br />That's completely unsubstantiated, he could be straight A's for all I know. <br /><br />I've never had a team tell me they had concerns with UND so maybe it's more to do with academics.Guy Flaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178739486819659419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-72091529543640147442011-07-16T01:02:21.887-06:002011-07-16T01:02:21.887-06:00People,

We had hoped to speak with him, but just found out he didn't feel it was the right time to come on our show. it's to bad that a young player can't try both leagues and still be eligible in the other. Maybe if the NCAA allowed a player to still be eligible for college until 18 kids wouldn't be forced to make decisions at such a young age and 14 year olds wouldn't feel so much pressure.<br /><br />Just my thoughts, and i'm sure we'll be chatting about this on Saturday's show.Dean Millardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09595172997614427768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-1900420333114283852011-07-15T01:42:23.843-06:002011-07-15T01:42:23.843-06:00Goon

He opens up the door for people to ask questions about his decision making processes. <br /><br />I hope for his sake that his talent can make up for his picks.Jess Rubensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086094927046897195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-29619937281056169562011-07-14T23:49:38.070-06:002011-07-14T23:49:38.070-06:00His decision to not enter his commitment to UND is...His decision to not enter his commitment to UND is puzzling and a direct reflection of his character.
