Luke Romanek from Nards Faceoff Factory has committed to RU. Anyone have a scout on him, fingers crossed that we are getting a good one?

5-6, 180?

Short but solid and looks athletic. St. John's fogo who torched us is 5'7.

 

[Roy_Faulker]

CEO?

 

[Caliknight]

Where have you seen he committed?

I wouldn't get caught up on size. F/o is one spot where being shorty and stockier and be an advantage. Huge faceoff guys, they are out there, but not nearly as much as shorter stockier guys. They are closer to the ball and can use leverage that bigger guys can't. WIth the other faceoff guy we have coming, things should definitely be better in this dept.

His Instagram account has the announcement.

See is a competitive wrestler. Pretty prototypical fogo.

 

[asgot]

He is a 2021 he will be here in two years

 

[DowntownT_Brown]

Good call, my bad on the simple math

Shorter strong guys have leverage.

I spoke to a friend who was his HS coach and he says that he is a super fogo and hard worker. wrestling helps with his leverage.
From the video looks like good quick hands, did not see counter moves and would be interested in that but this is a place where NJ is not particularly strong in the 2021 class and this looks like a really good get.

@Caliknight -- he reminds me of Mike Yarusso, short squat and strong as hell.

And if he loses the face off, can perform a fireman's carry on the other teams FOGO and get ball back.

Was thinking the same thing. Hate seeing these young kids with blown out knees. Kid looks athletic. Good to hear on the intel you got. Between this kid and the kid coming in next year, our FOGO situation should be improving.
