Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2018-19

Sometimes final stats don't always pan out; we remember what happened with Mark Miller. As a centre, I'd also be interested in faceoff stats; not sure if the pages you linked show those normally. If he had more bulk, I'd wonder if he's more of an "energy forward", which is just as important when you have all these kids with impressive point stats.

No faceoff stats. I assume that he will fill out as he seems to have grown recently from 5'11".

I think that this won't pay for much of his education at RPI.

If he grew recently, then that would explain the drop off, as it takes time to adjust to your "new body" when doing something physically demanding. Perhaps these first couple of months will be an anomaly, and we'll see good things from January on.

They think that he is a '20 recruit too. We'll see if that is the case. As I have written about others, I doubt that either EF or coach Smith knows for sure at this time.


Edit: Elite Prospects also lists '20.

RB-Any idea when was the last time we had a center who was at least 6'3" ?? Although I feel defense is where we need the size, I always yearned for us to recruit just a couple of big boys up front. Back in the 90's when Vermont had St. Louis and Perrin on the same line, they always made sure the third fellow was a big freight train. Do not recall off hand the stats for J.C Ruid but that line wrecked havoc against us (and many others certainly).

Years ago, they seemed to fake heights a lot. I don't think it is as common now. E.g., the USHL has everyone measured by the NHL CSB.

Chris Heisenberg also lists him as a '20 recruit.
