Recruits 2026 and Beyond

[The Rancor]

Every recruit is a lottery ticket until the skates hit the ice.

A heavily weighted lottery ticket.

RPI actually has 9 incoming freshmen.

I'll take fourth! (Especially on a "lighter" year.)

I wouldn't take fourth in the ECAC. Also our number is much lower than most teams in B10, HE, and NCHC. The good news though is that Puck Preps is, I assume, totally unreliable.

I don't subscribe to Puck Preps, so I cannot comment on how reliable it is. I do think that calculating a number for each player and then simply adding them up may not be the best thing to do. For example, It is important to factor in how the recruit fills a hole in the team's lineup.

BTW, there are 14 schools in other leagues ranked higher than any ECAC school.

On the other hand, other league teams can usually attract higher-end NHL talent. Cornell isn't going to do that as a matter of fact.
