Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13 (Part II)

Then again, with Melanson, Wood, and Bourbannais coming in, its going be a huge scrap for any ice time anyways.

Have to think competition is going to be extremely fierce for ice time next year among the forwards, and that's a good thing. Have to think next year you're going to have five juniors who will see the ice with regularity when they're healthy, plus Higgs, Zalewski, Miller, and Bubela. That leaves three slots for the freshmen and other seniors (which includes a pair of solid guys in Tinordi and Rogic who are going to be dressed far more often than they aren't, I'd think) and two other sophomores on any given night.

It's going to be a deep pool and there are going to be talented guys sitting in the stands every night. That's usually a good problem to have.

don't forget Devito coming also. That's 4 incoming forwards to replace 3 outgoing. ET's still only 17 (18 in Aug.). Another year in the B looks to be right. Aside from ET, is it possible Melanson stays in the U next year, ala Bourbonnais this year?

Certainly possible. He is still listed by CH as either year. Only the fact that he signed a LoI makes me fairly sure he is coming in the fall.

Considering the signing dates are relative to enrollment in a specific year, yes.

i am sure that be mutual agreement it could be delayed a year.

Agreed. Really the main problem about adding Tironese would be that we probably don't have scholarship money.

Could not agree more-you could dive into that pool for next year. The hardest job may well be just finding the combinations that work best together.

Edina's (Parker Reno) last regular season game is being webcast at http://psbmn.com/ at 3 PM CST (4PM EST).

Make that 20 minutes later since an earlier game went long. That's just about now.

Reno is #5 in white.

And unfortunately the women aren't on WRPI, so this is the game of choice.

The camera work isn't up to RPI-TV standards.

Some of the professional work isn't up to RPI-TV standards...

Heisenberg has added Jake Soffer. FWIW, he lists him as 6'2", 165.

Wait a sec... I thought sticks were made of wood. What are hockey sticks made of if it's not wood? (the PBP of the Reno game mentioned a wood stick game)

Obvious interference penalty on Reno there.

They just did the Harlem Shake at the Edina game, and an entire section got up and did as such.

Hopefully this fad blows over soon.
