I agree, maybe you should make some other comments and see what might happen?

Heard they updated the performance board. Someone here posted a pic of it last year, not sure how they got that pic

What is the "performance board"?

These early commits (we now have 3 for 2019) are quite a gamble. Tough to judge how a player this young will develop over 3 years, but she is in a strong hockey program (Stoney Creek).

The problem is that everyone else is recruiting early, so we need to also, and a lot of players graduate in 2019.

I think that he was referring to the following. If so, the answer to his question is that I received the tweet from the team.

Nice to see a few women's hockey players setting some records in the weight room ���������������� pic.twitter.com/AMWZGRizDw

Yeah that's the board, wasn't sure what else to call it. More than just weight lifting max. Thank you

Anyone know how those numbers compare to any of the other teams out there?

Lot of risk recruiting early unless you really feel your program is strong enough. Some have not even taken their SATs etc. Won't help if they can't maintain grades.

I don't recall the RPI women ever having a recruit who subsequently wasn't admitted. Could you supply details?

I do agree that there is a risk from making offers to sophomores, but everyone is doing it, both teams that are better and worse hockey teams than RPI, both schools that are better and worse academically than RPI.

I think that our coaches are well aware of the academic requirements at RPI and don't put out offers to students that might not make the grade. As a result, we have a very high level of success in players completing the program with strong academic results. This is not the case with some other D1 programs (including some programs with supposedly high academic standards) where offers are put out to strong hockey players who are then left to their own devices as to how to get admitted. RPI has always done a good job on this.

Just stating that going younger may create that issue and even currently there are occasions where players miss games because of academics.

Conceivably she will be entering RPI this semester.

Looks like I never posted this after the Princeton/Quinnipiac weekend. We lost those. This run of the simulation has us in a virtual dead heat with Harvard right on the 8/9 line, though just behind. If I ran it again, we might end up slightly ahead. We absolutely need to come out of this weekend with at least three points. Let's do it.

RPI KRACH (RRWP): 32.61 (.2946)

MCTs (Mean/Median/Mode/Range):
Points - 14.66 / 15 / 14 / 4 - 28
Rank - 8.85 / 9 / 8 / 3 - 12
Playoffs - 42.0%
Most likely opponent - at Clarkson (23.4%)

Conference Rankings:

1. Clarkson
2. SLU
3. Quinnipiac
4. Colgate
   —————
5. Cornell
6. Princeton
7. Yale
8. Harvard
   —————

9. RPI
10. Dartmouth
11. Brown
12. Union

Anything is possible, still missing a few to injury. Really need to score, changing the PP would be nice as well.

Who is out with injuries? I assume Rooney is still out? Any prospect of getting her back would sure lift the team's chances of making the playoffs.

They got two wins though even if one was in OT. Good wins.

I think Harvard has one game.
