As in a link which Turk posted recently, his hair flows.

Both Shea and Colangelo retweeted this tweet.


Edit: BTW, Fontaine was Chicago's next to last pick as they have reached the maximum roster size.

I like the size he’s listed here, 6’ 202.

When we saw him years ago as a kid we felt he was quite a big boy then and very surprised to find out he was not over 200 pounds then. Felt then as we do now, if his skating has improved he will be a force for us. Strong kid who just seemed to always be in the right places on the ice.

He did seem to greatly improve as the season progressed this year.

The USHL Phase Ii draft starts at 10 AM CDT. I may be a bit late, but will post.

Since Matt Cameron is already Sioux Falls property, that leaves Brackett, Fontaine and Leibold eligible. It would not surprise me now if all are drafted.

My error. Reid Leibold was drafted by Waterloo last year.

Jack Brackett did not get drafted, which probably should not have surprised me.

A bit higher than I had expected him to be rated

College Hockey Inc's RBC preview. http://collegehockeyinc.com/articles/2018/05/five-teams-vie-for-rbc-cup.php
Chilliwack is led by head coach Brian Maloney, a former Michigan State standout, and the offensive duo of Will Calverley (RIT) and Tommy Lee (Rensselaer). The Chiefs qualified for the event as the host team.

They still think that Jacob Modry is an RPI recruit although they are up to date on Chilliwack's coaching change.

Chris Heisenberg has changed Jon Bendorf to a 2019 recruit, probably based upon the USHL draft. I am going to leave him as a 2018 since I do have the caveat on my list "The years the men's recruits are listed as committed for are not necessarily accurate."
 
Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2017-18 (Part III)

List of dates when recruits have been announced. It varies quite a bit.

07/14/16
05/19/15
06/12/14
07/15/13
07/19/12
07/25/11
05/24/10
05/06/09
06/17/08
04/25/07
05/15/06
06/13/05
11/17/04 a bit late :)
2003 missing
07/18/02

6/15 is the average not counting the November message.

It is either that or misspell Rensselaer.

Spelling I can understand, especially with “auto-correct”. In all honesty, few people who didn’t attend Rensselaer probably couldn’t spell it but to get a school completely wrong? I will add though that the writer of the above article, Jeff Johnson, knows his stuff. He covers the Roughriders for the Gazette and no, he’s not their equivalent to “Fast Eddie”.
