Big portal get: Princeton captain Ian Murphy (forward)

He has recorded nearly a point per game over the last two seasons. He was a late-blooming junior prospect who was about to play D-III until Princeton swooped in at the last second. Murphy then stuck with Princeton during their canceled COVID freshman season. He turns 25 this week. Apparently Boston College was after him (Murphy attended Boston College High School) and ND moved in hard. No idea if that means NIL or a more typical recruiting pitch.




Doubt it was NIL

JJ recently said we really didn't have much NIL in the program. Imagine academics/grad degree and ice time probably played a role in the decision.

Biondi and Murphy look like RW replacements for T Janicke and Moynihan. Signee Jack Larrigan did an interview and said he was coming in next Fall (another RW).

Not sure if Charlie Pardue will come next Fall or head to USHL for a year. He plays both C/RW this year on a 4th line/13th F spot w/ NTDP. I think our other signees are likely still in USHL next year.

Silianoff is eligible for a 5th year. But no word yet on what's happening with him. If we're done with F's in the portal, then Silianoff is probably coming back (Silianoff isn't in the portal as of now)

On D, we Siedem and Bavaro are gone. Pretty sure Jaedon Kerr and Jimmy Jurcev both aged out of juniors and will be on campus next Fall (Drew Mackie is another signee in the NAHL -- no idea what the plan is for him). Plucinski and Boltmann both are 5th year eligible and neither are in the portal. A glaring problem is the PP -- Fischer will likely run a unit but no idea who will be on the 2nd PP (maybe H. Nelson?). I'd like to think they're looking in the portal for some offense/puck-moving/PP type D (which would probably squeeze out Plucinski and/or Boltmann).


and just like that Jake Boltmann is now in the portal *
