    We now have hockey players receiving funds earmarked for minority students, for example. The NCAA has no problems with that, but in the past RPI did have problems with it.
    This was all going on while the bedwetters that GLM references were caterwauling about how the RPI administration would never allow hockey to get good players.

    If anything, the fact that the administration is now opening other scholarship opportunities up to hockey players (they're STUDENT athletes after all, why shouldn't they be eligible for other scholarships? Technically I was eligible for a hockey scholarship, I just wasn't good enough to get one along with the other 99% of the school) is really a good reason not to worry about who's got what scholarships. Seth manages it and apparently he manages it well. I don't begrudge Union for passing out international aid to Canadians. They should.
    Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

        Thats good to hear, now he can start making his way back to the top of the league scoring chart.

        If anyone is going upstate this weekend for the RPI games and wants to check Jacob out, his Colts are playing at Kemptville Sunday afternoon at 2pm. Kemptville is just a short hour drive from Canton.

          For those who don't want to see JL, they can see Brock Higgs at Kingston at 2:30 on Sunday. It isn't much further.

          We have done a good job in recruitng in Clarkson and SLU's backyard recently.

            Even if RPI doesn't use them, I assume that a lot of recruits will be making their decision this week. Shouldn't affect Terrence Wallin since he wouldn't be able to sign an LOI this week anyways (since he's a junior), even if he's choosing between RPI and someone else that does use LOI's.
            You said it better than I KS - wondering if the signing period might pop up some info on a name or two of kids we might've been eyeballing...who are either headed elsewhere or are still deciding. We're pretty full for next fall though. That hasn't stopped Appert in the past however.

                  OK fair enough, although it sure wouldn't hurt for JL to see a few RPI fans in Cornwall to let him know we're thinking of him !! I guess trips to see Higgs are permissable...

                    I've heard that Nondorf was much more open to working with the hockey program than his predecessors. Coming from an Ivy League school he was well aware of how to use different admissions and aid strategies to achieve athletic objectives while maintaining an overall perception of exclusivity. Given the improving on-ice talent combined with solid classroom performance it appears he did a good job. I have no idea where the new guy stands on such issues but the fact that Seth and his coaches haven't slowed down one bit in building a pipeline of outstanding recruits is probably a clue.

                      Excellent points 82. I met Nondorf at one of the banquets and he seemed to have a genuine interest in and familiarity with the team and the players. He understood that it was indeed possible to have excellent recruits who were very good students...the two are not mutually exclusive. I was sorry to see him go, but he couldn't pass up the Dean's job at Chicago.

                          Not many students were sorry to see him go,

                          hell most that knew him were happy to see him go.

                            I don't know him personally, I met him once. But something sure as heck changed in the period he was there working with Appert.

                              If the Gunnery website is to be believed, the hockey team won't play its first game until 12/5/10...sounds late even for prep. In any event, they travel to Albany Academy on 1/24/10. By then, we may very well know whether Mr. Wallin is headed to Troy or not.
