RPI Recruit Thread 2017-18 (Part III)

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2017-18 (Part III)

I have added a column indicating how many stars Neutral Zone has awarded each recruit. Since they include these on posts, for example when a player commits, I assume they regard this as public knowledge. I don't intend to post any of their write-ups, which are very interesting. It does seem that RPI recruits in a rather narrow range of stars -- no 5.00 recruits. (Todd Burgess at 4.25 is our highest in the previous two classes.) It does appear that our recruits in 2019 and further are somewhat better than the 2018 recruits.

[b]The years the men's recruits are listed as committed for are not necessarily accurate.[/b]
The dates on which some of the women are listed as committing on may be considerably after the actual dates.

Ralph, Do they provide any sort of "scoring key" to their scouting projections (e.g. 5.0 "Once in a lifetime player", 4.5-4.75 "First liner on championship quality team", etc.)?

I couldn't find it, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. All I do is compare with other players.
 
Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2017-18 (Part III)

Let's hope we see in the USHL this fall that his overall scoring prowess is just emerging rather than "he's a great scorer in space." There are no Olympic rinks in the ECAC so he's not likely to get that kind of open ice very often.
There is in LP :D
 
Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2017-18 (Part III)

The box score has not yet been posted. I will post the summary when I return from bike riding in the early afternoon assuming it is up by then.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2017-18 (Part III)

Did they play with goalies?

It's 4 on 4 hockey but only 50-minute games not counting the OT, so about 1 goal every 2 minutes.


Edit: 3 on 3 in OT.
Edit2: FWIW, each of the 4 games yesterday were decided by one goal: 12-11, 13-12, 8-7, 13-12 again.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2017-18 (Part III)

Concerns me a little that even with this long list of recruits, and I am sure the statistics for height and weight are correct since they are all verified by RB, there is not a single recruit taller than I am and only 6 that weigh more than me. As expected though, every recruit is taller than Jenny and all outweigh her by a considerable margin.;)

I suspect that there are some whose heights are somewhat exaggerated, as that is often the case. n the other hand, some of the out-year recruits could still get taller.

In any case, Coach Smith does not appear to be enamored with height.

Cory Babichuk has been traded to Spruce Grove (AJHL) without having played for West Kelowna. SG is very close to home.
