Re: RPI 2011 Recruit Thread

I agree. However, did we ever hear who else was recruiting Higgs (after he de-committed from Canisius)? I still (especially after hearing reports from the scrimmage) am not nearly as high on him as other people here seem to be. While I think he can certainly be a good contributor on a checking line, I personally don't seeing him having much more offensive upside than, for example, Malchuk or Kurt Colling.

Chris Heisenberg rated him pretty highly last year.

Re: RPI 2011 Recruit Thread

I'm intrigued that Canisius was in on Neal after previously having (prematurely, apparently) landed Brock Higgs. They've had a number of solid talents in recent years. Bucky Gleason's insanity aside, it seems like Dave Smith has the Griffs poised to be a solid AHA program in the near future.

These are the kind of recruiting battles that are great to see us win. Coups like D'Amigo were great, but will not be something that happens on a regular basis until we make the tournament on a regular basis. Beating out other "academic" schools consistently for not-quite-top tier guys like Neal is the first step in making that a possibility.

On Friday, the Cornwall Colts defeated the Brockville Braves 2-1 (3-2) in a shootout. Jacob Laliberté had an assist and a slashing penalty. http://pointstreak.com/prostats/boxs...gameid=1318592

Laliberté's line is now 8-7-6-13-2.

Now the shootout says it was 2-1 -- still no JL.

Only if you click your heels while saying it. It'll have to come true!

That's one way to increase your post count quickly-I might try it to reach 30,000 sooner RB you could be at over 300,000!!
