We all go though that. :) Now the recruits fathers are older than I am, probably some grandfathers.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2017-18

Michael Cameron’s eliteprospects page..... http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=417399 .........ususally elite prospects lists relatives but I see none for Matt/Michael. Haven’t found anything confirming a relationship but there is a Tweet on Matt Cameron’s Twitter acknowledging Michael’s commiment, albeit from someone other than Matt.

They're both from Berwyn, PA, so I think it's safe to say there're brothers (or related in the unlikely case they're not).

Not really a fan of recruiting kids who just turned 15, but if it's family of a kid already recruited, and you want them, I guess I'll make an exception.

Smith is really stockpiling for down the road, which he has the luxury of doing based on the current class sizes. Just hope he doesn't miss some good currrebt '98s and '99s still out there.

We have been way behind the curve in recruiting young players. Look at Heisenberg's recruit lists by school. With the possible exception of Colgate, which never seems to have a very deep pipeline, we have been getting by in recent years with a far smaller batch of future recruits than our competitors (and a fraction of the big boys, who often have as many as 20 future commits over 3 or 4 upcoming years). That has forced us to look for late bloomers and guys that fell through the cracks. Some, like Will Reilly who was a relatively late commit, work out, but it's hard to stay competitive that way. It's the trend in college hockey that the heart of your team should be kids you signed early with gaps being filled in with late bloomers. Coach Dave is just getting us into the game.

Having said that - an '02? I was 16 when I entered RPI and I never thought I'd see the day when we'd be recruiting kids much younger than I was.

Michael Cameron
#16 Jr. Flyers 16U, Forward, 7/24/02, Shoots Left

Cameron scored a nice goal coming down the left wing on Sunday at the ECC Labor Day Cup. He’s nifty in tight spaces and has above average hockey sense. He’s the younger brother of RPI commit Matt Cameron. https://www.sbncollegehockey.com/co...rnaments-ecc-tier-1-midget-hockey-16u-18u-15u

One's a left shot and the other shoots from the right. Get those boys a slick center and we might have quite a line for a year or two.

I am not a fan of recruiting that early either but since everyone is doing it, we have to.

I think that a balance between young and old is a good idea.
Obviously people mature at different rates. I was also 16 when I entered RPI and although I was definitely academically ready, I was not emotionally or socially ready. Then again there is a big difference between being recruited at that age and arriving at that age.

It's good to see us getting 4 Star prospects instead of below that. Of course it could change before he arrives.
