A big vocal leader, he gets low quick and uses his feet well but when he gets his stick to it his rebound control is great. [B][URL='https://www.insidelacrosse.com/recruiting/profile/119512?active=analysis']Joe Florada, D, Salisbury School (Conn.), Sweetlax Upstate[/URL] (originally from Syracuse - CBA) Eval Score: 88[/B] Florada’s tall frame makes him jump off the page, metaphorically speaking, but he backed it up with well-timed checks and relentless pressure. He had a nice poke check behind the net to dislodge the ball early on in the day, then again by just being a pest and pressing out on hands early in the offensive set. His off-ball knockdowns showed the true advantage of his range, being able to guard so much space at once is so valuable. [B][URL='https://www.insidelacrosse.com/recruiting/profile/120377?active=analysis']Christopher Doshna, M, Marcellus (N.Y.), Sweetlax Upstate[/URL] Eval Score: 87[/B] Your favorite coach's favorite player at the event, Doshna uses his big frame so well to shoot around or through his matchups. When he’s not overpowering the opposition, he’s getting in good spots to shoot with both hands, though there were a few instances where he maybe forced the issue. His lefty apple across his body through traffic also showed he’s got more than just a 1-on-1 dodge to his game. [B][URL='https://www.insidelacrosse.com/recruiting/profile/131186?active=analysis']Cooper Moore, A, Irondequoit (N.Y.) Sweetlax Upstate[/URL] Eval Score: 85[/B] A strong righty who never lets the defense get set for when he’s about to attack in early offense, Moore was both assertive and under control. When he rotated on the crease, he had a nice handle and composed finish, but it was his athleticism in transition that stood out.[B] [/B] [HEADING=1]2027 Standout[/HEADING] [B][URL='https://www.insidelacrosse.com/recruiting/profile/86877?active=analysis']James Holbrough, A, Berkshire School (Mass.), Sweetlax Upstate[/URL] (from Rochester) Eval Score: 91[/B] A walking highlight-reel, Holbrough caught my eye immediately with his backhanded goals, but it was a slick behind-the-back dime coming from behind the net that was my favorite play from anyone across the two days. But he also made simple, well-timed feeds to guys like his lefty linemate Ty Calabro within the flow of the offense and again with a quickstick in transition. He’s great off the ground and can handle pressure, scooping one ball in tight and using a toedrag to free himself up for a nice dip and dunk. Off-ball, when middies dodged toward him he drifted well to get a step on his man for a high finish getting topside. [MEDIA=twitter]1818669435776888987[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
