However his skates were used for the Capital Skates trophy for several years.Mauro certainly had the size. That was just not remotely enough though.

NZ has him + for strength and skating - often a struggle for the big guys. He was 7th in team scoring for a good Trail team last year, that included Lemieux, Ziliotto and Matthews. . Much of the art of recruiting is where coaches think a player is on his development curve. A guy with that size who can move is not someone you come across every day...we'll see if the offense improves further this year.Very true doc. The skill and compete has to match the size. If he can skate at the D1 level then he’s worth a hard look. At His size he should be a point per game player in the bchl. I’m sure the staff will be watching closely and if he doesn’t produce this year time to look elsewhere. I’m not sold on him he reminds me of a Finn brown type player. 4th line grinder which we don’t need. Way too many good players available now.
I think we will end up keeping him. He was a raw prospect when he committed in the first place, and then he had a late growth spurt to go from 6'4 to 6'6. Bigger players take longer to develop. Wouldn't be surprised if he breaks out this year.NZ has him + for strength and skating - often a struggle for the big guys.

If he’s good enough this is the year for him to put up numbers. Third year in a weakened bchl he should be a top guy for trail if not he’s Finn brown 2.0. I’m definitely intrigued by Carter Matthews however.NZ has him + for strength and skating - often a struggle for the big guys.

You can tell by the commitment data. Gosselin is the only Lang recruit at the moment.Ralph, would it be possible to put who each guy was recruited by, Smith or Lang? In the end, they’re all Engineers when they get here, but maybe for development purposes.

[b]The years the recruits are listed as arriving at RPI 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.
"Hometown" is sometimes where the player was born and sometimes where he or she currently lives.
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 rarely includes them for women):
Aw=Awareness/IQ, Ch=Character/Leadership, GS=Goal Scoring Ability, Sk=Skating, Sp=Speed, SH=Stick Handling Skill,
