Re: >>> RIT Tigers 2016-17: Let's Take the Next Step
I hate to say it, but this is not a good team. The effort is there but they just don't match up in speed, skill, or size to the likes of Penn State. Players like Rust, Stone, Clayton, and especially Lanteigne looked good, but the rest of the skaters were playing catch-up all night. It improved in the last sixth of the game, especially 6-on-5, but they were still overmatched. Something's wrong with the recruiting.
Oh, and attendance last night was really disappointing, though with the quality of play from this team I guess I understand why. But still -- it's the Ritter! Come on, people.

Originally posted by crutch View PostAgree. Know of one National U18 player that contacted the coaching staff numerous times yet they never reached back. She is now on a WCHA team playing a tonne of minutes. Sometimes I wonder if certain teams feel they can only attract second tier players so they dont bother reaching out to the top dogs.

Originally posted by shelfit View PostThe best days for this program are behind them. The reality is they won't be able to turn the tide until they get rid of this coach. His reputation on the recruiting end of things has caught up to him and I'm sure his reputation as a bench coach is also a problem for the reputation of his program. I bet current players are telling recruits the truth when they come for visits and that's not going to help land top level prospects. You can't pretend you're a nice person when you're recruiting and then be a tyrant in the locker-room and on the bench. That gets old real quick for players in today's game.

Originally posted by LtPowers View PostI'm curious where your information is coming from and if you have any corroboration for it. From your other posts on this thread it seems that you simply enjoy sniping at the program. My criticisms came from a place of disappointment and a desire for improvement; you just seem to be offering vague unsupported criticisms for no apparent purpose. What's your angle?

Originally posted by nyi19 View PostPerhaps it comes from a place of (not necessarily you) people clamoring about the program's status as a national power who can get the best players and the expectation that it was going to just jump in and be competitive at D-I (despite others' pleas to knock people down off their high horse and that it wouldn't happen that way). And you don't need to be an "insider" to know how Scotty is. He's hardly difficult to read and doesn't hide his emotions well, both on the bench and when he thinks others aren't looking (hallways, outside locker rooms, etc.) And yes, that does come from my personal experience.
Ditto!

Good news. RIT didn't get shutout today!
I think the only opponent they might have a chance of posting any wins against the rest of the season is possibly Lindenwood given how RIT is currently playing. I honestly don't see them being able to beat anybody else on their schedule.
