Today is 21 March 2017. There are 194 days until RPI's next game.
This is based upon 1 October 2017 for the start of next season.

I just voted on a proxy against Shirley who is an member of the Board of Directors of a company where I own some stock.
Too bad that my vote is about as unimportant as my vote for President in DC.

Good article, especially the part on why "most" here feel a smaller school like RPI should be able to find enough talent to be competitive again.

Re: RPI 2017 Off-Season: We March 4th into the Future
Great article, MSU situation sounds very familiar, including the contract extension.
But my biggest takeaway from this is that there are going to be two more schools looking for coaches. We need to move in a hurry.

True to some extent. It's still the funding and the right coach to find talent and get a team to gel. It's not always about the star player, it's about the ones that fit together.
Only part not true is Mel going to UofM, though I have been wrong before.

My gut feeling is that Michigan and MSU won't be looking at the same coaches as RPI, just like they usually don't look at the same plsyers we do. However if they pilfer a coach from another school, then that school may be our competition. So I agree that we have to use the lead time which we have.

"You bring a recruit in and show him the XL Center on a nice sunny day. That can be enticing. You bring that same recruit to Storrs and he sees the beautiful football facility and the beautiful basketball facility. And then he sees little, outdated Freitas, with players stretching in the lobby, and he has to really wonder where the school's priorities fall?"

My point precisely re:HFH Need more of a committment folks.

RPI has new FB and BB facilities but any recruit can see that they aren't up to D-I standards.

Re: RPI 2017 Off-Season: We March 4th into the Future
You're correct. I think a recruit would see that EVAC is more of a priority than the HFH though. It's perception and that's a big deal in recruiting. Most hockey players if not all come from wealthy families, they like state of the art. I love Troy and grew up in HFH: just the reality.

If this is the problem, where was Appert on it? How much did he advocate for funding/building renovation, etc?
As others have already said, while there may be better facilities out there, there are worse ones too.

We COULD show them the half-mile walk from the ice down to the training facilities at the Armory...

Well, that is another problem. Troy isn't state of the art either.

At least it is uphill in only one direction.
Seriously, I thought that the training facilities were in the ECAV.

This is so spot on I thought I posted it when I saw it.
