No new information on where he stands, but I checked out the first half of the game on Saturday and nothing he did changed my opinion that this kid could start on attack for any D1 program right now. Plays a different style game than his brother or Nanticoke - actually if I had to make a recent comparison it would be Dylan Molly.  Can beat you one on one but also plays with his head up and is an excellent feeder. There was one time Saturday where he was doubled quickly on the wing and he was able to find Oakes cross crease for easy goals.  The conditions were less than ideal and he seemed to struggle with his footing (by struggling I mean he only had 5 goals). He's capable of putting a team on his back and changing the whole team dynamic...he's that good.

Equally impressive - his younger brother Jerry Staats who plays Defense.  Usually it's hard to get a read on the OCC long poles because so little is asked of them in the typical game.  But Saturday they weren't dominant at the X and Genesee had some players.  Jerry is a decent sized kid with great stick skills and good footwork.  But the thing that stuck out was his smarts - always looking to slide to help and plays with intensity and aggressiveness.  Definitely one to keep an eye on.
