Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2018-19 (Part II)

I fear GF will be poached or have to fend off alot of offers to keep his word.

Is it possible that he's fast-tracked to come in next year to prevent that?

We have two 98's, and assuming they're both still our recruits, they must come in next year. We have 3 skaters graduating. I see a lot of 99's, but I don't know when we'll be seeing them, if at all. Any potential cuts after this year? Yes Ralph, I know there's another thread for the current team, but this particular topic is very relevant to the recruits in when we'd see them.

There are several recruits who could be poached by other schools. I am also concerned about Sarlo and Beaton besides for Fontaine.

I suspect that some current players will leave either on their own accord or Smith will cut them. There won't be as many as a year ago, but some. As to which non-98s will show up next fall it is impossible to tell. I don't think that Smith is sure yet. I also don't think that we can be 100% sure that the two 98s will show up.

Babichuk I'm on the fence about, given he was an Appert recruit. Ashbrook gave the thumbs up after Smith came in, but is a forward, therefore influenced from Nolan Graham. Now that he's no longer with the team (at least for the time being), could that change things?

Additionally, I have to believe that if there's someone Smith recruited himself, given the nature of the team in the past year and a half, that person would be with the team by now.

The following is all opinion, I have no information.

I agree first and foremost, things are always up in the air. But looking at things now, I would think Ashbrook, McIsaac, and Herrman come in for forwards, Babicuck plus one or both of Klee and Kljellberg, and Miller come in. That's 6 or 7 recruits. That doesn't fit exactly what's graduating, but I highly doubt Smith brings in one forward for next year.

As for GF, to me, I see him coming in with Sarlo, Beaton, Brackett, and Dubinsky the following year. I highly doubt I'm right, but that to me looks like a pretty decent forward class, which could have a real impact on this team when they come in. But I'm an optimist.

There are others in the mix for one year or the other at forward, of course. E.g., McIsaac. We will have six senior forwards in 2020 graduating assuming none leave before that and Burgess doesn't stay around to use his redshirt year: Hayhurst, Polino, Marrello, Burgess, Gornall, and Zieky.

I suspect you are correct regarding an early departure or two. In my opinion we have a few players that just don`t have D1 skating ability.
 
Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2018-19 (Part II)

On Sunday, the Chicago Steel defeated the Youngstown Phantoms 4-3. Gunnarwolfe Fontaine had no points or penalties. Christian Sarlo scored a goal. http://www.ushl.com/view/#/game-summary/8586

Fontaine's line is now 24-5-10-15-2.
Sarlo's line is now 12-6-4-10-4.


Edit: CS was named the #3 Star.

Add Sunday’s Northwood (Leibold) game to Saturday’s on the list of games whose box scores haven’t been posted yet. I will keep checking.

The dates on which some of the women are listed as committing on may be considerably after the actual dates.
I am assuming that Neutral Zone regards their Star ratings as public because they tweet them with committals.
