Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13 (Part III)

So the next question then becomes... what's the real story on the Letter of Intent and its limitations? Is RPI burning a redshirt year with Melanson staying in the USHL?

It will be great if all our known recruits make the USHL -- and all on different teams.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13 (Part III)

Yes.

The bigger question is if Prapavessis will be there or if he intends to stay in Toronto.

The #16 will be the tall kid playing for our club team...I have no inside info, just throwing a log onto the fire and seeing what everyone thinks.

He has been playing defense for the club, although as we know he did play forward before. He could indeed be the 16th forward, as could be someone else who plays for the club team.

Yeti says Camp starts this afternoon and Devito is not expected to be there. He says he heard Jimmy will be at RPI this year.

Yes.

The bigger question is if Prapavessis will be there or if he intends to stay in Toronto.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13 (Part III)

Remember, Bourbonnais was expected last year by us but not by SA. Same scenario might be with DM and if it is then I suspect SA already has a plan in place.

I agree. The question to me is when was the decision made and was it mutual between SA and DM.

Well, the tweet was from 6/4, so we both didn't read it yesterday.
