RPI Recruit Thread 2021-22 (Part II)

I wasn't expecting too many selections to be honest Ralph. Every player already has a spot in juniors next year, except for Kyrkostas, who got picked. Sanborn is still a Dubuque affiliate. The only other possible selections would be if a team wanted to take a flier on a young player already committed to a BCHL or NAHL team (Alazem, Caron, etc). Maybe we'll see a couple of those later, but wouldn't expect that for the first 10 rounds

Kyrkostas was the only one selected. In the past there have been a lot of teams taking fliers including players whom I knew were going to RPI in the upcoming fall. We also have had players make the USHL as walk-ons. On the other hand, in my opinion the USHL has been becoming a better league year by year.

Ralph: I count 18 on your extensive list of recruits. Is that getting close to the largest number you have kept track of at one time?

There were 21 on the list last summer https://fanforum.uscho.com/forum/co...-thread-2020-21-part-ii?p=3672322#post3672322, but that included Dubinsky and Leppanen who had played elsewhere last year. both lists include transfers who may or may not be considered recruits. (Also Brackett was a freshman at RPI and is on that list.)

[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):
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
