***UND Fighting Sioux Thread***

[AUS Fan]

Rumor mill has UND Captain Jordan Kawaguchi informing some teams he's made his decision. Looks like DAL, but nothing set yet.
Still to come: free-agent D Matt Kiersted and OTT's trio: Jacob Bernard-Docker, Shane Pinto & Jake Sanderson.

Scheel signs with Dallas. That pretty much cements Thome won’t transfer

Weatherby informed San Jose that he’s returning for his senior year. He will definitely be the number 1 center and possible captain

Connor Ford coming to UND from Bowling Green for his final season. Finished this season with 29 points, should be a solid veteran addition to the team

Goalie will be coming it too. Can’t say who yet

Jandric from Alaska could be coming here too. He’s a D man

UND adds defenseman Chris Jandric from the NCAA transfer portal | Grand Forks Herald

This whole "transfer portal" thing is a little too Stargate SG-1 for my tastes.

Definitely a strange year but I like it. It’s free agency college style

This NCAA.com article tries to explain the portal concept in noble terms, but I still think one of its major motivations was to quell the growing protests over college athletes being unpaid professionals with no control over their futures. The portal offers more "bread & circuses" for overall appeasement of the rabble.
