Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13 (Part II)
As virtually everyone here knows-I would also prefer a couple of bigger boys up front. 6' and 200 pounds would be nice. But this early, some of these boys will posible get up close to that. Give me a line like Neal-Tinordi-McGowan with some size and lots of tenacity. Don't need every line made up like that-but having 3-5 forwards that size can be very helpful against the bigger ECAC teams.

I wish that were always true. Boy's growth spurts are occurring earlier these days and reaching their maximum height is happening at earlier ages. Lots of theories as to why but no one can say for certain. There is no question though that long bone epiphyses are closing earlier than they did 45-50 years ago when i was in school. There used to be an old theory that to predict a boy's ultimate height-take his exact height at his 2nd birthday. Add 1 inch-then double the total. It was about 85% accurate to within an inch back then. It is not quite as good a predictive calculation any more.
It's a continuous function of time.

Ralph, See what you've started. It's evolutionary biology rigor.

A YouTube video of a game in which Fornaris had three assists last year. I assume that he is #10 in dark like this year. You may want to turn off the sound.
There are also videos from four other games by the same poster all from last year. http://www.youtube.com/user/NMHHockey?feature=watch He did seem to get a lot of ice time even as a HS soph.

What?
BTW, I assume that Fornaris is a Hispanic American (Cuban American?). I wonder if he is going to get minority student money and thus saving athletic scholarship money, as Kennedy, Rabbani and Lee apparently did.
Another thing, Fornaris and Prapavessis are both hard for me to spell. I wish they would rename themselves to something simple -- like jericho.

At my age, "cool" doesn't mean the same thing.

There was a wrestler in the mid 2000's who went by the name "Carlito..." He was of Puerto Rican descent, and his catch phrase was "I spit in the face of people who don't want to be cool." Then, if he thought you weren't cool, he'd spit apple in your face.
He was a "bad guy" (or heel) in wrestling terminology...FYI..Jericho is a "good guy, " (and an awesome wrestler.)
Edit: It always means less when you have to explain it.

Very true, but at least I understood it.There was a wrestler in the mid 2000's who went by the name "Carlito..." He was of Puerto Rican descent, and his catch phrase was "I spit in the face of people who don't want to be cool." Then, if he thought you weren't cool, he'd spit apple in your face.

That's why I don't explain. GIYF. If I hadn't known what you were talking about, I could have easily inferred enough from your post to Google it.

To me, it looks like we're on Page 33. And yes, I prefer the new order over the old order, as I'd rather not scroll up to read. If cmmarkham makes a post, that just gets messy.
