Re: RPI 2011 Recruit Thread Pt. II

Completely agree with everything you say. For what it's worth, JL will be 21 when he first practices under Coach Appert. I really think he has a chance to be a transcendental NCAA player, ala Martin St. Louis.

KN-I am glad others are getting on board about this kid. For 3 years now I have been anxious to get him to Troy. He has all the tools. I think his size may limit his pro potential (at least to start) but he will be an impact player at the NCAA level for sure. And i strongly agree that coming in at age 21 he should be unlike most freshmen. This is going to be exciting and a lot of fun!

On Thursday, the Cornwall Colts defeated the Carleton Place Canadians 2-1. Jacob Laliberté assisted on both goals and had a cross checking penalty. He was named #3 star. http://pointstreak.com/prostats/boxs...gameid=1318733

Laliberté's line is now 31-25-32-57-12.

Involved in 100% of the scoring-pretty consistent!

Because I've had season tickets for a few UConn sports over the years they send me a copy of the compliance handbook each year. See the definition of a representative on page 2. I've also seen virtually identical language published by other schools.

That sounds pretty clear.

I never heard that just having had season tickets made one a representative, not that it might not be correct. I thought that you had to at least be a booster club member to count.

Re: RPI 2011 Recruit Thread Pt. II

Eight game winning streak for Cornwall with JL getting on the scoresheet in all of them. Part of 11 of the team's last 14 goals (all in wins, of course). Kid is a gamer.

I believe his age will help I think a lot of times the transition issues are most evident w/true freshmen there is a big difference between an 18yr old and a 20yr old in maturity both mentally and especially physically....thats why Im so amazed @ Koudys poise and size..he is an exception to the rule By the time he's 20 he's going to be a monster player.I believe a Scott Stevens like player.Music to DrD's ears.

I'll save Wicked the trouble. Cornwall game article with no mention of JL http://www.standard-freeholder.com/A...aspx?e=2873414. Cornwall is now tied for the best record in the CHL.

Re: RPI 2011 Recruit Thread Pt. II

That would put the pressure on JL instead of the upperclassmen. Although it would be nice to see JL step right into Polacek's shoes, and eventually he should do that, I am not counting on it to start next season. I would be quite satisfied if he could duplicate Polacek's freshman year.

You raised an interesting, and probably valid, point, that JL getting a comparatively large percentage of his points at even strength is a plus.

Re: RPI 2011 Recruit Thread Pt. II

I'm happy to have underestimated his heighth. I will say that there were 4-5 kids on Berkshire who were taller than he was.

When I first got there he appeared on the smallish side his uniform is about 2 sizes to big because when I started to compare him to players on the bench he matched up pretty good

Re: RPI 2011 Recruit Thread Pt. II

Actually that is a very bad idea. Representatives of a school's athletic interests talking to recruits (except under specific circumstances) is a potential NCAA violation. You might say, "big deal, I'm not a school representative", but the NCAA defines such things very broadly. For example, if you've ever held season tickets you are considered to be a representative. Watching recruits is fine, but it's better not to speak with them.

I never heard that just having had season tickets made one a representative, not that it might not be correct. I thought that you had to at least be a booster club member to count.
