Understand the lament over the Thompsons and Tehoka but Cuse still seems like a preferred destination for Native Americans,  Randy Staats came and the Bomberrys are here ,Austin Staats may be arriving if he plays college.  The NannyGoat  is obviously a unique talent given his frame and tremendous stick skills and his  mystique would certainly  boosts   visibility  of any program but the impact of Thompsons goes beyond their choice of Albany ,  they influenced how the game is played today resulting in many dynamic attackman across the landscape. Yes, Nantikoke pushed Bomberry to his spots and torched us , can  gush over his marvels that day but he's also looked very ordinary in  poor games vs Cornell and Maryland.  Fields meanwhile is simply brilliant n an efficient talent in Patterson may be just as impactful youngster to that team but without the hype. Not trying to deny Tanicoke is an exceptional  talent but the point is there is larger pool of exceptional attackman than ever today   and having a exclusive pipeline while an advantage is not the end all . Sourcing should not be reliant on any region. .We face one of the best this weekend  in  Hennisbug who was a relative local. I doubt he would have choosen Rutgers four years ago over the majors if any of them actively recruited by them. Nantikoke was recruited by us and others, he choose elsewhere for his reasons.
