RPI Recruit Thread 2021-22

[rpi82]

Conceivably he and Bourgault never visited RPI because of the distance from BC to Troy and the cancelled season, and we did not think of mailing them.

Possibly, but IIRC Ciccarello committed while still at St. Mark's School in Mass. so I'd be very surprised if he hasn't had the honor of visiting Troy.

[rpi82]

It's seems likely that we signed 2 defensemen (McDonald and Smolinski) and four forwards (Bourgault, Brown, Ciccarello and Muzzatti) with three '03s (Babich, Hotson and Wallace) being held over to next year along with the two younger commits. We have 3 guys that will exhaust their eligibility this season (Baxter (D), Marshall (G) and Sellar(F)) along with 7 more that will have completed 4 years of college but may return due to Covid (Hallbauer and Johnson on D; Addamo, Bowman, Lacka, Lepannen and Linden up front). It's probable that we'll add another goaltender before next summer but I wonder if the length of the list indicates the coaching staff is expecting some graduate carry-overs from the names above or in-bound transfers.

It's probably pointless to guess at who is staying and who is going (and it would probably belong in the other thread anyway), but we may get some clues if there are more '02 commits in the spring.

I suspect that Coach Smith doesn't know exactly who will show up. I suspect that some who sign NLoI's won't show up in 2022. However, it is good to know that these commits are still on our radar.

Hotson signed https://twitter.com/JH_HTA/status/14...085487617?s=20

Good to know. He is one who may not show up for another year, but he seems to be performing well enough.
