[B][I]Austin Staats at OCC[/I][/B]
[I]
There will be a pair of familiar names at OCC this season. Seth Oakes’ brother Russ is at OCC, and Austin Staats — the younger brother of former OCC and Syracuse star Randy — is as well. It has been heavily speculated that Austin Staats will enter the NLL Draft, but OCC coach Chuck Wilbur said last week that he will be playing for the Lazers this season, and Staats has said the same.

Austin Staats currently[URL='http://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/mann-cup-which-maple-ridge-and-six-nations-teams-will-show-for-game-3-/36189'] has five goals and one assist through two goals in the Mann Cup.[/URL]

For coach Wilbur, it’s an exciting prospect to have another Oakes and Staats on the team. “Offensively, this could be our best team since Randy Staats since Seth Oakes,” Wilbur said of the prolific 2013 pair, in an interview with IL last week.

OCC is coming off a season in which it lost the NJCAA championship to Genesee, ending a reign of seven-straight championships.

“Randy told me two years ago that Austin was better than him already. He’s got a pretty big bar he’s set here,” Wilbur said.[/I]
