Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2013-14 (Part III)

Were we interested in him?

.....pretty much every Team had an interest in him but most had little or no shot. I was joking with Reno last year that he couldn’t convince Dylan Malmquist (chose Notre Dame) to come to Troy so let’s see if you can get Bellows here.

He is another example of someone whose father did not go to college but he is, perhaps an indication that his father knows that he made a mistake..

Where our 2015 and later recruits may end up in the fall. Probably someone will end up somewhere that we have heard nothing about yet.

Name                2013/14 Team (League)              Possible 2014/15 teams

The original tweet was from Alberni Valley, so it isn't the BCHL itself. But I wouldn't blame them if they did.

FWIW, roomies have been assigned; Nanne, Kenny G. & Melanson.

We have a saxophone player on the team?

Maybe he'll be in the band in games when he doesn't dress.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2013-14 (Part III)

From Over The Boards "Scouts on Top NHL Draft Prospects for 2014, 2015, 2016"

http://overtheboards.net/scout-quote...+The+Boards%29

96 D Mike Prapavessis - Toronto Lakeshore Patriots - RPI

•“He’s good too, offensively he’s like Walman but worse hands. He’s more of a presence, heavier, tough to play against. Probably a 3-4 D in college. A ‘thorough player’, lower ceiling than a Walman because he doesn’t have that NHL quality skill. Good footwork.”

95 F Alex Rodriguez – Shattuck-St. Mary’s – RPI

•“Gets after it. He’s always going and digging out pucks. That always has value. Sometimes his anticipation can be off the charts. Other times he’s going so hard it’s like he’ll crash through the boards and (the anticipation) clearly isn’t quite there.”

•“Meat and potatoes guy, strong on his skates, limited hockey sense. he’s going to be another guy that’s going to be a “grinder” so to speak, he’s going to have to do the dirty work, which he’s fine with. He’s going to be a compliment guy. He’s good enough to put up points — for him to be effective and his line mates, he needs to do the dirty work. He’s not afraid of it, he’ll get those secondary assists and rebounds. He can shoot it. When the pace picks up, I’m concerned about how he thinks it.”

Interesting that Rodriguez was listed but not Dillon.

Note that the scouts are USHL scouts, not NHL scouts, which puts somewhat of a different slant on things.

Edit: Upon reflection, USHL scouts probably mainly saw MP more than a year ago, and he seemed to be improving throughout the past season. Also, if he doesn't have NHL-quality skill that isn't bad from RPI's point of view.

You know, I just noticed his last name... perhaps he may be nicknamed Dizzy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueywqUBW3oM

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2013-14 (Part III)

The roster for the Canadian WJ U20 Camp is out and Alec Dillon is not one of the four goalies in camp. If it were a spy novel maybe we could read into it, “if you go to the US to play, you won’t be with us.....isn’t that right young Pirri”..... http://stats.hockeycanada.ca/roster/...bseason=165586

Interesting that Rodriguez was listed but not Dillon.

Note that the scouts are USHL scouts, not NHL scouts, which puts somewhat of a different slant on things.

Edit: Upon reflection, USHL scouts probably mainly saw MP more than a year ago, and he seemed to be improving throughout the past season. Also, if he doesn't have NHL-quality skill that isn't bad from RPI's point of view.

I do like the reporting from this source (OTB) but when I read the report on the Smith Bros. (Yale) the writer says he’ll be interested to see how they perform on Yale’s big ice surface (?)....what???? Ingalls is 200x85. Quote; I’m kind of interested to see how they do at Yale with the big ice surface

They used more than one source, and some like Rodriquez were evaluated more than once. It would be interesting to see which ones were from the same scout. Clearly one scout evaluated both Prapavessis and Walman.
