RPI 2011 Recruit Thread Pt. III

Re: RPI 2011 Recruit Thread Pt. III

Last year around this time I posted graphics of our 2010-2011 recruits, so here's the 2011-2012 (and 2012-2013) recruit graphics as they would air on RPI TV! Stats are as of 12/20, and in lieu of their class year I've included their birth year.

I was planning on using Ralph's "magical" (or, point based) order, but I figured I'd post Leonard first since he's the new guy:

Continuing on with the rest:

Great job RHam, though I'm shocked you didn't use smaller fonts for JL's numbers, given they will be insane at the end of the year. :D

I don't think that it is anyone's style. I don't know of any defenseman who has played more than a few games without a penalty.

Tomas Kaberle has 0 PIMs in 33 games for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Mike Lundin of the Tampa Bay Lightning has 2 PIMs in 33 games this season, and Paul Martin of the Pittsburgh Penguins has 4 PIMs in 34 games. Kaberle and Martin average over 20 minutes of ice time per game, and Lundin averages between 15 and 20 minutes of ice time per game. All are defensemen. While it may not be the norm for defensemen to log few or no penalties during a stretch of more than 20 games, it is not unheard of. Bradley's disciplined style to the defensive position certainly could not have been a big secret to the RPI coaching staff. He recorded fewer than 10 PIMs in 48 games last season in the 18U Tier 1 Elite League. Different players contribute differently.
 
Re: RPI 2011 Recruit Thread Pt. III

JMO, I think with the signing of Leonard, its pretty much saying that Bradley wont be coming to RPI until 2012 and will replace Bergin on the roster. I think we will see one more dman added for next year, probably a partial scholarship player or maybe even a walk on.

Although I won't attempt to predict what will happen, Bergin is still eligible to play in 2012-13 due to redshirting in 2008-09. I do agree that it is now less likely that Bradley will show up before 2011.

That's the kid...I knew he was at least 6'3 ! Great stuff ! From the Dukes website, "Coaches comments" : Curtis is a force on the backend, a premier shot blocker and shut down guy. He is a leader on and off the ice and always gives a tremendous effort when he steps on the ice. Highly coachable, Curtis has a bright future..."

I thought about that; I may include it early next year when I redesign the graphics for the new year. The current template doesn't have a lot of extra space due to the large fonts (and the large fonts are mostly to ensure readability on the tiny B2/A1 stream).
 
Re: RPI 2011 Recruit Thread Pt. III

FWIW folks - I saw another kid with (who I think) was Leonard at HFH on Sunday. Looking at RH's excellent graphic, the kid looked like Mike Zalewski. I see Vernon's last game was on 12/17, so its possible that Zalewski is back east for the holidays. Can't swear to it as I didn't get as good a look at him, but I'd bet a Labbatt's that it was him.
