And it is far from clear that we are getting Tuliara who may be quite light. (Lincoln lists him as 6'0", 148 lb.)
BTW, Heisenberg lists Swankler as 6'3", but no one else lists him near that. He and other very young players could however still grow several inches. (Mike Cameron is just 15.)

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2017-18

That's two '97s in the last week for Smith and his staff. They'll clearly be on campus come next season. I'm still curious if this will just push some recruits back, or we'll be seeing Smith cut some players after this season.

I guess it'll depend, like it always does, on how everyone plays this season.

CH also lists TL at 5’11” so who knows. Elite prospects has him at 5’9” & the Chilliwack Roster has him at 5’8”.

I am going by Chilliwack's roster on the roster. let's face it, RPI sometimes fakes heights too. Tiliara will be changed to what is on Lincoln's roster next time I post it.

The only forward due to come in before Lee committed was Bendorf. Conceivably he will be pushed back or won't show up, but IMHO more likely someone will be cut. I don't think this is the end. Smith seems to want to get more of his players in quickly.

Absolutely but when you look at their ages, I would not expect too much of a growth spurt in height but more likely a bit of bulking up of weight. Still, does not look like a group of very large boys as yet.

Definitely not a group of large people besides for Modry, however, believe it or not, even I grew a couple of inches in height after I was 15. :D

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2017-18

It just dawned on me, I wonder if Luke Curadi had anything to do with Bendorf landing with the Rebels. As I Posted on the Alumni Thread, Luke was named a scout for the Rebs on 9/5.
