Redhead,
Is yesterday's Gunnery game up yet?

The score is up, Gunnery lost 3-1 but the boxscore is still missing.

I guess that he didn't get a hat trick.

Thanks.

Re: RPI 2011 - 12 Recruit Thread

I wonder if RPI's lack of success this season is making it more difficult to recruit. Although there have been many recruits listed recently on Heisenberg's list for other schools, Bourbonnais is the only new recruit who has appeared in the last several months. I do suspect that although we still need additional players that we are probably looking for partial scholarship players and recruited walk-ons for the fall, and these tend to be added late, but additional players for 2013 and beyond could also be added at this time.

I also wonder if the lack of success might cause already committed recruits to have second thoughts. That seems to be coming more and more prevalent in recent years with both Cornell and UNH recently losing recruits (and perhaps others). I don't recall RPI losing anyone except H****y in recent years.

How many recruits did we gain following the appearance in the NCAA tournament?

Bourbonnais is the only one who has committed since then. I don't know if that was a factor although it might have helped.

Plus, sometimes we get recruits that have the determination to get the team somewhere, like JL. Why try to fit yourself into a system when you have the ability to be creative and be a leader of the team on the ice? Perhaps that is what Coach is looking for.

Clearly there are plusses and SA is a great recruiter, but I am wondering what recruits may be thinking.

I suspect that RC is thinking that now that JL has arrived, I need something else to worry about.

Well, don't worry about... um... worrying, because I was hoping to see one or two more recruits for next season by now, too.

I'm not too worried about the effect of the record, though. The Spinks committed to Colgate last year in the middle of their death spiral.

Good point about the Spinks.

I was hoping Appert told Bourbonnais that RPI will be joining Hockey East in couple years and that was the deciding factor in his decision.
