RPI 2010 Recruit Thread: Give Me Laliberté or Give Me Death!

What's better - replacing someone, or serving as their understudy first? I mean, isn't a team with Higgs AND Polacek and Helfrich better than one or the other?

Eh? Eh?

I agree completely. I am just wondering where the scholarship money is coming from. My guess is that there are only 3 full athletic scholarships in this years senior class -- Kerins, Merth, and Burgdoerfer. Vassel and Jensen are on partials. I figured that Laliberte, Quinn, and Bailen were getting fulls. It doesn't add up. Could I be wrong? -- yes, but I don't think that I am far off.

Something that was posted says that Higgs is a great student, so maybe he is getting some other kind of money. Anything is possible.

I still wonder if Greg Burgdoerfer might play defense. His identical twin brother does, so he clearly could learn it, but he probably hasn't played there before or at least not recently.

Looking at Heisenberg's ranking, he certainly is highly ranked for someone who signed this late. He doesn't have Dr-D size, however.

He is 5'10" and has added 15 pounds this year-and I am told he is an immovable force in front of the net in spite of his size

Wallin is a 2011. Heisenberg lists Higgs for 2010. If he were also for 2011, it would make sense, since we need to replace both Polacek and Helfrich then.

Ralph and other nervous nellies - here's my thought on Higgs:

I'm wondering if he's insurance on Wallin.
