Originally posted by Wicked Slappaahs View PostActually, IIRC the S-F reported (or was it RH?) that Appert was seen talking to them after an early season game this fall. I doubt he was talking to them about finding a good place to eat. So while we did talk up the twins here, Seth was communicating with them to some extent, as I expect most of the ECAC teams were.
RPI Engineers head coach Seth Appert was at Thursday's opener, and he had a friendly, long chat with Colts captain Jake Laliberte, who's headed to the school in Troy, N.Y., next season. (Appert also spoke outside the Colts dressing room with the Spink twins, Tyson and Tylor.)

Update from USNTDP stats page http://www.usahockey.com/USANTDP/def...F_03&ID=233672. Ryan Haggerty lost one of his two goals, or maybe I made a mistake.

Re: RPI 2011 Recruit Thread Pt. II
I forgot to mention this after the tournament - does Justin Smith have a younger brother who looks just like him? Just prior to the 2nd intermission, the players not dressed walked by us on their way to the tunnel. Included with them was a kid in jeans who looked just like a younger Justin from about 25 feet away. Possible recruit, or maybe just family in town?

Re: RPI 2011 Recruit Thread Pt. II
Originally posted by knsmith View PostI assume you think, then, that the "two recruits" we are alleged to to be in the final two for (by Ed Weaver) were not the twins? Do you have any guesses as to who those two may be?
I agree with your general analysis. Nevertheless, don't we have confirmation that we expressed some interest? I may be seeing references to Appert showing up outside the Cornwall locker room, which based on what we now know may have been part of the (at least the time) ongoing JL saga.
SA could have been more interested in the twins then they were in us for anyone of a number of reasons, including they didn't get along well with JL or Leboeuf.
SA was probably mainly in Cornwall for JL. That's just my guess.Last edited by Ralph Baer; 11-28-2010, 11:38 PM.

Originally posted by Wicked Slappaahs View PostHard to say how these things play out. The kids might've liked the small town atmosphere, or Seth may not have had (or may not have been willing to offer) full rides. Maybe they didn't want to play in JL shadow, who knows.
I must be getting old, as I don't get too low with recruit "misses". I want kids who want to be a part of the RPI family. As for the rest, I wish them the best of luck and I look forward to watching them meet Mr. Bailen and theBRO.

Originally posted by knsmith View PostVery disturbing. It's one thing to lose recruits to better athletic programs (e.g. BC, BU, UNH) or better academic programs (e.g. Yale, Harvard), but losing to a school that is better in neither category really stings.
