RPI 2011 - 12 Recruit Thread

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.

This is one worry that i fully agree we should have. I have been thinking just about the same thing for a few weeks now. Our recruit list has been static for some time-the performance of the team this year may indeed be having some effect.

With a two and half week layoff between games, im sure the coaches are out racking up the miles on their vehicles scouting holiday prep tournaments in New England, Jr. A games in Canada and USHL games in the midwest. So hopefully we'll hear some news of a commitment or two before the calendar changes for the new year.

I would think so, although unless the players in question have already visited RPI, I wouldn't expect commitments.

I continue to hope so!

Re: RPI 2011 - 12 Recruit Thread

FWIW, its been three months since Bourbonnais committed to RPI on 9/17, during this same time period last season we got commitments from 8 recruits (Neal, Haggerty, Bradley, McGowan, Zalewski, Miller, Leonard and Schroeder). If you include another month you can add Wood, Kasdorf and Melanson to the list.

We did however start with more on the list for that period this year.

On Friday, the Vernon Vipers defeated the Trail Smoke Eaters 10-1. Mike Zalewski had two goals, an assist, and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. http://www.bchl.ca/leagues/hockey_bo...7732&link=bchl (Note the stars aren't up yet, Zalewski was probably given one of them.)

Zalewski's line is now 30-17-22-39-41.


Edit: #1 Star.
BTW, two straight games with unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. The ECAC refs have been notified.

Gunnery played two games on Friday at the Christmas Classic. First game they beat Berkshire Prep 4-2 and the second game they lost 3-1 to St. Pauls. USHR has neither boxscore up yet. They play again today in the third place game against Trinity-Pawling.
