RPI Recruit Thread 2020-21 (Part II)

That's it just Muzzatti. If Sezenack is correct that Smolinski is still Tri-City property, I am not surprised.

Sioux City picked a 7-year old who passed away last week in the 22nd round.

I thought for sure that Itagaki would be taken after his production this season for Janesville.

Edit: I hope he and Leibold try for the BCHL since they were not picked

I thought for sure that Itagaki would be taken after his production this season for Janesville.
He can still tryout for one or more team. Also, he was drafted as a future by Lincoln and could still be their property as I have not seen the affiliate list in a couple of years. I don' think it is online anymore.
 
If you mean current players, I don't think we are looking for anyone. Futures possible.

Well, their leading scorer (as a freshman), Hernandez, was a teammate of Mahshie, McIsaac and Jakob Lee at Brooks. I suspect he will have a few suitors and we have a pretty full roster, but if he did come it would be a Bandits reunion in Troy.

[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.
I am assuming that Neutral Zone regards their Star ratings as public because they often tweet them with committals.

STRENGTHS according to Neutral Zone (NZ doesn't include them for women and goalies):
Aw=Awareness/IQ, Ch= Character/Leadership, GS=Goal Scoring Ability, Sk=Skating, Sp=Speed, SH=Stick Handling Skill,
St-Strength, To=Toughness, Vi=Vision/Passing
 
Not sure if Fawkes is still committed. I noticed that he has nothing associated with RPI on his twitter account. There's no tweet announcing his commitment on his profile nor anything mentioning RPI.

Not surprising if he is no longer a recruit.

As much as it pisses me off when a kid commits and then backs out for what he perceives as a better opportunity, we've had to deal with it as a modern reality and this is the unfortunate flipside. I'd almost be surprised if he is still a recruit because he just hasn't developed. This is what happens when a sport is recruiting 2 or 3 years out and both players and coaches have to make their best guess as to where they will be at enrollment time. When they see things differently sometimes the school gets screwed and sometimes the kid is the unfortunate victim. In a best case scenario it's a mutual agreement that there is no longer a match and both sides go their own way. In this case there's obviously some potential as an NAHL team was clearly high on him based on their comments when they made him a high pick. For some reason, however, he wasn't able to gt on the ice and justify that optimism.
