Charlie Strobel
Congrats to him on committing to the University of Minnesota.
I loved the way he plays and his leadership I saw from him in the games against WBL and tourney. Tons of respect for that kid and best of luck to him.
Interesting he's going to the U after his connections to Wisco.

Tough to recruit nephew when you've already got 4 of his teammates coming?

Re: Charlie Strobel
His uncle & dad, Mark & Mike, went to WI. They wanted to play together, and the Gophs would only take Mark.

I remember that. I can't recall if they had offers going into the tourney or not. But I recall Gophers only offered Mark.East Side Pioneer Guy wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 9:27 pm His uncle & dad, Mark & Mike, went to WI. They wanted to play together, and the Gophs would only take Mark.
I think this is a smart move by Motzko. Because Charlie is the type of player the Gophers haven't been recruiting lately. A goal scorer and leader for sure, but still a grinder. Will go into the corner and come out with the puck. Look forward to seeing him in the future on the team.

Re: Charlie Strobel
There also won't be much in the way of departures from running out of eligibility or signing a pro contract.
Be kind. Rewind.

Pride of the East Side. It will be exactly what MN needs.
Re: Charlie Strobel
Lol a kid from the mansions in Still/Woodbury area probably isn't the pride of the "East Side" meaning ESTP, but I hope he represents the east metro well for the Gophers!reg dunlop wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 6:53 pm Pride of the East Side. It will be exactly what MN needs.

Re: Charlie Strobel
Great interview on “Beyond the Pond” today.
Re: Charlie Strobel
I ended up hoping for Hill to win the state tournament in the end after the QFs were done. I would like to see the east metro get back in the championship game more regularly. A lot of good hockey players over here. Looks at the youth rankings and you see a much better East/West/North split than you do at the high school level.Bonin2121 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 8:09 pmLol a kid from the mansions in Still/Woodbury area probably isn't the pride of the "East Side" meaning ESTP, but I hope he represents the east metro well for the Gophers!reg dunlop wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 6:53 pm Pride of the East Side.

Re: Charlie Strobel
It looks like Strobel will be joining the Gophers for the 21-22 season. I don't know where he will be playing his junior hockey next season.
Re: Charlie Strobel
Ha, I’m getting so old that I don’t even realize what year it is anymore! I just looked at Elite Prospects, so that was probably just preliminary information until they have confirmation.
Re: Charlie Strobel
Elite Prospects should not be used as a source for when players will enter college.

Re: Charlie Strobel
Very happy for Charlie, and looking forward to seeing him in maroon & gold.
Charlie was a total stud in the postseason this year. I've always said that you need a player or two to take over games and score big goals, and Charlie did that all post-season.
-He got them on the board with a huge goal against WBL in the section finals, when Hill was down 2-0 late in the 2nd period and needed a spark. He provided that spark. He also assisted on the short-handed game winner
-He scored the first goal against Moorhead early in the 1st period at State, setting the tone for that entire game and probably relieving some stress in that game by jumping out to an early lead. He also had an assist on a goal when the game was still relatively close.
-He scored the game winner against STA in OT to send hill to the championship game.
-He scored two goals and had an assist in the championship game against EP. This includes an assist on the all-important first goal of a game.
I will happily admit that I didn't have the time this year to follow Hill or HS hockey has much as I would have liked. But from everything I saw of him this year, he was the epitome of what a captain, senior and leader of a team should be. He was humble in his interviews, and understood the weight of Hill's history and his own family history in this tournament. Yet he didn't shrink from that spotlight. He rose to the occasion. Super impressed with that young man, and wish him nothing but success moving forward. He did everyone proud!

Re: Charlie Strobel
I understand the timing on when to bring kids in is fluid. Is Heisenberg the best source? That's where I'd look.
Be kind. Rewind.
Re: Charlie Strobel
Heisenberg just lists commitments by birth year, and unfortunately doesn’t list projected enrollment. I wish there was a good centralized resource for that.O-townClown wrote: ↑Tue Mar 17, 2020 6:41 pmI understand the timing on when to bring kids in is fluid. Is Heisenberg the best source?

Re: Charlie Strobel
Any person guessing at time of enrollment and posting it is just guessing. Heck, the coaches, are still making decisions about incoming class after the hockey season--many moving parts. You really don't know until summer session starts as some/most incoming freshman will enroll in summer school classes. Obviously kids that have aged out of juniors (99's) are automatics. GB

Re: Charlie Strobel
Projections are made all the time in life. Fan sites that track individual programs often keep a board tracking the pipeline of recruits, as do college teams themselves.GoldenBear wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 7:59 amAny person guessing at time of enrollment and posting it is just guessing.
If there's a better place to quickly get a sense for whether a player is most likely to arrive in 2020, 2021, or 2022 I'll use that. Until then, Heisenberg.
