RPI Recruit Thread 2013-14 (Part III)

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2013-14 (Part III)

I doubt the NCAA makes a distinction between what the coaches are allowed to comment on and what can be included in press releases from the Athletic Department (what a loophole that would be!). My guess is that either Dillon has signed an LOI (permitting public comments about him) or the rules for hockey are different than other sports (possible given the dramatically different recruiting environment). In either case, I'm sure our coaches and AD are aware of the relevant limitations and complying appropriately.
It wasn't a press release, just a tweet, and conceivably was written by an intern.

That means little, as the intern is still an official representative of the school. As for the rules, they are not different for hockey. There must be a NLI involved.

I agree completely, but he is less likely to know the rules.

From the directory:

Name: Evan Federico Tironese
Class: First-Year Student
Curriculum: Undeclared Engineering

Well it wasn't academics that is keeping from RPI in the Fall. Liljegren is still missing.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2013-14 (Part III)

USHL 30 man roster & Affiliate lists; Carlos Fornaris is on CRs 30 man & Jacob Hayhurst is on Affiliate......Meirs Moore is not listed on Fargos roster, assume he will play for Janesville in the NAHL.....Austin Cho is on Lincolns Affiliate list.......Alex Rodriguez is on SCs 30 man roster......Alec Dillon is on Tri-Citys 30 man roster (1 of only 2 goalies listed)......Charley Manley is on Waterloos 30 man roster.....and just for the connection, Shawn Knowlton is on the Chicago Steel Affiliate list. Teams will cut down to 23 man rosters after the USHL Fall Classic (Sept.15-20)........ http://cdn1.vox-cdn.com/assets/4739056/ushlprotectedjuly14.pdf

Thanks. So it looks like Dillon will play in the USHL. That's the only thing that is at all surprising. I suspect that we will see Hayhurst and Cho there next season.

Best guesses. Uniform numbers are still to be determined too.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2013-14 (Part III)

Re Dillon: http://www.vicnews.com/sports/266278121.html

While former Grizzlies junior Dillon’s WHL rights are owned by the Oil Kings, he has a scholarship to attend and play college hockey for Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York next season.

“I’m committed to RPI and I’m loyal to them, but if I go down to L.A., they’re obviously going to tell me where they want to see me playing in the next couple of years,” he said.

Knowing strict NCAA rules prohibit players from playing even one game of major junior hockey and maintaining their college eligibility, Dillon said he'll cross that bridge when he comes to it.

"You almost wish you could give (the WHL) a test drive, but that's not how they roll, I guess. That's fine, I have to make a decision then live with it."

Next season at RPI is wrong, but at least he is wearing the proper jersey in the picture.
 
Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2013-14 (Part III)

This is understandable, although I would LOVE to know when regulation ignorance has held up as a credible defense in ANY form of court.

I did not mean to imply that, I was just explaining why it might have happened. Why can't we stop this dumb discussion?
 
Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2013-14 (Part III)

you’re right....:o

Good to see that I am not the only one that reads too fast. :) I am changing him back to Victoria as the most likely place to be playing. (Just my opinion. I am happy with anything except Edmonton.)

Thanks. He does have to beat out either a goalie who played for TC last year or one from the US-18 team Probably the former since he would also be an import.
