Think this may have been mentioned by Cade Dino is the first two time AA in section 4 history. First junior to be named previously- have heard he will need a little time to adjust to college level (like so many) but is very athletic. 100+ Goals, 200+ pts.

One of the things I found myself thinking over the course of the season, and especially when I watched the NCAAs, is that Hobart is slow. For a dynamic offense, that comment may not make much sense, but looking at teams like UMD, Cornell, Rutgers, Princeton, etc.., I thought their passing games were way quicker than ours. With Cornell in particular, I thought Lax IQ, and reaction time based on Lax IQ, was way faster than ours. In fact, they got 3 or 4 goals on us when we played just based on Lax IQ and reaction times. Cornell is a good lesson for us: UMD was undoubtedly a better team, but Cornell give them a run based on quickness, aggression, Lax IQ, and better conditioning. Those are all things we should be working on.
I also get the sense that our players take a split second longer in all of our passes around the perimeter and in decision making.
I've always thought that speed is the biggest jump to make from HS to College lacrosse, and I think Hobart as team will have to dedicate itself to ratcheting up its quickness if it is going to be successful next year.

Yes, compare w 2019-2020 teams where we moved it around much quicker and even the one on one play involved much faster decision making. I chalk that up to youth on the margin with more kids who missed jr/sr year of HS and conference only in 21 partially.
I also expect the d mids and close D to not make the same mistakes they did w Cornell next year. Much more experienced overall group sans some good LSMs (Synnott, Imburgia and Ryan but some high ceiling ones who cut their teeth this year coming back).
The substitution issues I lay on staff, ex Brundage.

Just to keep some info/dialogue going Chris Patterson, a 23 commit, in Bronxville (who lost in sectional finals to Briarcliff) was all section 1 but not one of the 9 AAs from there. He’s got over 100pts with another season to go. Small but appears to be very talented.

Nice get for the coaching staff. His numbers are impressive. I was wondering when we were going to see another '23 recruit as it has been a while. The coaching staff did make 3 or 4 "late" additions for the '22 class who seemed to have had strong senior years. ahh the summer circuit...

So Brundage is out? Heading to opening at Michigan or Georgetown?

If it is Brundage, that sucks. He definitely upped our game. Im not surprised that he's gained the attention of "big name" programs.

Strange listing, likely just a typo. Turri is moving on, Brundage isn’t going anywhere.

Yeah .. it lists goalies and faceoffs too, and that was Turri. Still, not a good look to make a typo like that. It would be great if Brundage were sticking around. I'm sorry to see Turri go too. From time to time last season the D started to click, and we went 20 and 30 minutes or more without allowing any goals. Most of those guys are returning, so I was feeling like the D was on the cusp of something good.

So...... a defensive coordinator. With Coach Raymond's background, he should be able to find a quality replacement. I wonder if Coach Muffley would come back to work with the faceoffs crew.

Seeing this more these days.
Lefties who face off have a general disadvantage on the draw, using their "weak" hand. But if they can start early enough and build that muscle memory, it gives them an advantage pushing the ball forward, then scooping lefty and protecting the stick from the opponent on fast breaks.
Can sometimes catch the defense sleeping with a lefty or flat break too.
