RPI Recruit Thread 2021-22 (Part II)

[rpi82]

Kudos to the whole coaching staff.

From a guy that's never seen our recruits in anything other than highlight clips, I also offer my congratulations. I think we have some real talent coming our way. However, with most schools not having announced who will be enrolling this fall, I'm curious how these guys felt confident enough to rank classes. Also, how do you compare a solid one-and-done transfer with proven skills like Jake Johnson with a potential 4 year player like Strom?

Edit: From reading the Colgate thread they've also lost several top recruits. I wonder if that was factored in.

I don't think that list is all that accurate. I just posted it because it was there. Neutral Zone also ranks classes, but IMHO their algorithm and data are both poor.

FWIW, a ranking of incoming classes including transfers putting us as #36
top 25 https://twitter.com/evanpace17/statu...92880500002816
rest https://twitter.com/evanpace17/statu...14805000462337

We're #4 in ECAC (after Harvard, Clarkson and Colgate) which overall is quite poor.

Anyone who has Quinnipiac that low doesn't know what they're talking about. They're bringing in some top-notch transfers

Doubtful he knows Colgate lost their best recruits

He's a UConn student. I would expect that. :-)

Bentley and sacred heart have a better recruiting class then qpac, RPI, Cornell, Yale, Merrimack? Yeah ok…..

[sezenack]

Now in the directory
Carson Cherepak BMGT
Sutter Muzzatti BMGT
Nick Strom BMGT

I believe that completes everyone expected to be in the recruiting class. Maybe we get an official announcement this week?

Aslanidis is missing, but that likely means that he was replaced by Cherepak, and we will have just three goalies as usual.

Oh yes I forgot to mention that when I didn't see him, but I saw Cherepak who just committed, I assumed he's the goalie we're losing. I'd be surprised if he shows up now.

@BiggbyCoffeeAAA alum, Sutter Muzzatti led @theaustinbruins in scoring this past season, earning an NCAA Division I commitment!

However, he earned the commitment before this season.

He posted a link in this tweet to a spreadsheet with his data to a detailed spreadsheet. He seems to have done a lot of work, but there is much garbage in it. E.g., Babich (one of our top 4 recruits) and Fawkes are two of our incoming recruits in the Fall. It will be better if he updates the players when only who actually shows up in the rosters is included.

Seemingly confirmation of good 2022-23 destination for Al-Azem:

Fawkes is still coming?

[sezenack]

Fawkes is still coming?

No he got dropped awhile ago. Ralph was just saying that guy has him listed as coming in his rankings, so he doesn't have everything accurate
