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

From what I saw of Carlos in Cedar Rapids camp, he plays a bit more of a perimeter game and utilizes his speed well. He had one grade A chance in camp on a 2-1 and missed a wide open net. Good kid with a good family. I talked to Carlos Sr. quite a bit during camp and it seems JR has his head on straight. IMO if he were to make CR, he would be a 3rd to 4th liner and PK guy.

Thanks Scott. As you have seen we tend to (over) analyze our recruits years before they arrive in Troy.

Thanks much. Sounds a lot like what we see from Johnny Rogic now.

No problem. I believe the 30 man roster is due back in Cedar Rapids this coming weekend for a "conditioning" evaluation. Sometimes Mark Carlson juggles the roster a little bit at this camp....adding FA's who didnt make the roster of other teams. He usually takes 30 into the preseason roster, but I dont know if he will do that with CR heading east to play some games in the NY/NJ. I would be willing to bet he only takes 25 -26 out there with them.

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

Perhaps a replacement for Johnny Rogic? I know Rogic lit the lamp quite a bit in juniors, but we've seen him as an energy player, really gritty on the PK, digging out of corners, and the like. Does CF play bigger than his current size? Perhaps he's a bit of a speed demon out there?

I suspect that Fornaris, like Kennedy et al., is probably going to receive minority group funding and thus will at most cost a small part of a scholarship. Thus whatever we get from him is a plus. Then again, perhaps he just has a jinx re the Chowder Cup.

Mea Culpa.

We also overanalyze our current players (and in some cases alums).

Definitely sounds like a Rogic.

Thanks. The problem I usually have with these large sets of pictures is that the players are rarely identified individually, and the main means of IDing is by the uniform numbers which one usually doesn't see in pictures with faces.

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

Carlos scored on a beautiful wrister.....across his body from the left circle beating the goalie high glove to the top right corner. He looks good thus far.
