Either that, or we're trying to close the thread in order to get the 2013-14 thread going.

This thread doesn't have to be closed before the new one starts.

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

Are we just passing time? Or has this thread just went way beyond bordedom? There is little if any hockey stuff to post-I think I have far more interest right now on the Kate Upton thread.

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

You are assuming Logic. I would like to do that also, but the NCAA rules are far from logical. One type of contact may be allowed, but something that may seem quite similar to a sane person may verboten.

Wasn't there a hockey league that actually prohibited logic or rational thinking in their rules?

Is she being recruited?

She could play on my team anytime.

Toronto Lakeshore (Prapavessis) has their first exhibition game on Wednesday, 8/21/13 http://lakeshorepatriots.pointstreak...s#.Uf3cmuXD-Uk.

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

Most of this is already known, but I have just learned second hand (or maybe third) that Fornaris, Manley , Melanson, Moore, and Tironese are all on their USHL team's 30-man roster. Prapavessis is on Lincoln's affiliate list meaning that they can call him up during the year.

Yes indeed Green Bay has used a spot for Tironese. We should learn where he will be soon since Alberni Valley plays an exhibition game in under three weeks. Also the 30-man rosters still will have cuts. It is just about time to start a new thread too.

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

Why would that be a violation? You're allowed to make as many unofficial visits as you want, and you're allowed to contact coaches as many times as you want (the rules state the coach is only allowed to seek you out once a year).

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

I think that is spot on. Time after time you hear recruits (at RPI and elsewhere) state that "the school felt right", the team was welcoming, etc. With a guy like Moores - my guess is that he may have initially met the team when they were out in MN for games - unless that is a violation in which case, I'm dead wrong....

He also played against Reno.

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

Ralph, I agree that there is less interest in swimming, but the reasons for attending a university are more about compatibility than attendance at an event.
If the recruit likes the coach and his teammates, then you are half way there. However, if he does not like the coach or his teammates, you have no chance.

I think that is spot on. Time after time you hear recruits (at RPI and elsewhere) state that "the school felt right", the team was welcoming, etc. With a guy like Moores - my guess is that he may have initially met the team when they were out in MN for games - unless that is a violation in which case, I'm dead wrong....

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

I didn't realize that swimming has attendance numbers with four digits now. It didn't when I was a student.

Wow.
