I like the excitement surrounding this guy. Before we get to any sort of “better than Joey” talk I think it is important to realize there are potential negatives with his game as there is with any high schooler. (Also no need to diss Cook who gives the team 110%)

For one he is the first recruit we have had since maybe Cody Jamieson who could be considered an indoor first type of player. Granted the skills to excel in indoor have massive benefits in field and that is becoming more apparent every year. But it is a different version of the game and there may be a need to adjust the approach playing D1 field lax. In the field games I have seen of his it is almost like he is trying to play the game like it’s indoor. He has foot speed but often is not always trying to blow by his man. He can maybe try to get a little to fancy with his attempts at deceiving a goalie, as if he’s used to the harder task of scoring on an indoor goal. There may be an adjustment period for him in those areas.

That being said he is about as massive a talent as I have seen in terms of stick skills/feeding. He can put this incredible touch on a behind the back pass where he slowly and casually lobs it in and leads his man perfectly. Never really seen anything quite like that before. Similar to Owen Hiltz where you can’t even see the pass coming but all of a sudden he has created a serious goal scoring opportunity. He will be an asset for us, and a much needed distributor. Our other guys with indoor experience will love working with him. How big an asset is still up in the air.
