RPI Recruit Thread 2013-14 (Part III)

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

I think that our recruits are playing musical leagues.

True, but the news sounds good to me. Dillon moving to the USHL means its extremely likely he's in Troy in 2015. I'll never be a Kings' fan, but maybe I'll send them a thank you card. As for Moore "replacing" Dillon in Victoria, that sounds like another win. He'll get a chance to be in a better situation than he seemed to have last season but will still be competing in a high level league. Hopefully he has a strong season and comes to Troy ready to generate offense from the blue line. Even Tironese returning to the BCHL could be a big plus if comfortable surroundings help launch a great final junior season.

Late summer/early fall is when my (often naive) optimism returns. Our returnees will be better than expected. Our incoming recruits will have a few real nuggets - and our future enrollees are positioned for great seasons. Yup, things are looking up. Now, if people will just keep their cold reality from intruding on my warm weather-induced off-season dreams..............

I didn't mean to imply that the changes were or weren't for the better. I agree with you that the Kings should be thanked for apparently not advising Dillon to go to Edmonton. It seemed odd at first that Moore was going to the BCHL, but he apparently was in a bad situation in Fargo, and I like it better for him to be in the BCHL than in the NAHL.

If Manley is indeed in Waterloo, it is a step up for him. As far as Tironese is concerned, he's probably going to be happier back in AV. Rodriguez, of course, had to leave SSM since he graduated.

A lengthy video focusing on Alec Dillon from one game vs. West Kelowna last year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K67-A9mIQE. He certainly looks big. Nice save on a breakaway starting at 2:03. Nice sequence around 8:32. He did give up five goals in this multi-OT loss.


Edit: box score from this game http://www.bchl.ca/leagues/hockey_bo...gameID=1231491.

Obviously, the Kings had a say in where Dillon — who still has a scholarship to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., for the 2015-16 season — would play and that’s in Kearney, Nebraska, with the Storm...... http://www.victoriagrizzlies.com/lea...506&page=81030

Article about Alec Dillon changing leagues http://www.timescolonist.com/sports/...ushl-1.1207761. As we expecting it was the Kings' suggestion to go to the USHL and apparently there is no hard feelings in Victoria. The article also mentions Meirs Moore.

Edit. Oops. Turk found it first (when it reprinted).

Alex Rodriguez is going to Russia on a US team https://twitter.com/Isari_rodd19/sta...04339323482115. I wonder what this is since there is nothing on the USA Hockey page https://twitter.com/Isari_rodd19/sta...4339323482115/

No RPI recruits ranked, but Seth Appert and Nolan Graham were there for much of the two weeks. Some good western and upstate NY prospects.

Considering that our youngest recruits are 97's and both of them are Canadian, it isn't surprising that none are ranked.

The tweet from his sister made it sound as if he already knows that he is going.
