OT: CJ Kirst

Man, it would have been nice to have him but happy for him and the family with what he is doing. He's an unbelievable player. This is one of the all time great photos. You can only imagine how proud their Mom must be. Hope this one is hanging up prominently in their house. Seeing them laughing, in a final four game, you can just see how this must have played out a million times in the backyard.

Watching the IVY final. It’s amazing how much more physical IVY lacrosse is than B1G. Noticed it during the season but Cornell and Princeton are 2 of the more physical teams I have seen over the years.
 
That’s definitely not accurate. The B1G is by far the most physical league.

Duke sad to say because Dino is an alum but they are very poorly coached. They make mistakes all over the field constantly.

Not saying IVY has the best physical athletes or biggest physical presence. But the amount of hitting I have seen in IVY dwarfs anything I have seen in the B1G for years.
 
That’s a wild take. Dude from OSU just had three teeth knocked out yesterday.

Yea it’s my opinion. May be wild take but my eyes and ears see and hear the contact.

Should have been wearing a mouthpiece. I know from experience. Lost 2 teeth playing basketball.
 
He was.

Princeton is finesse team. Including their defense. Cornell is physical but certainly no more than any B1G team. It’s by far the most physical league. Every team in the league except maybe Hopkins is based on beastly defensive physical play.

Acc would be the least physical of the three.

Agree with ACC being the least physical of any conference. Again not saying B1G is not physical. The physicality doesn’t stand out. Maybe because B1G athletes absorb the contact better. Cornell which is the team from IVY I have watched the most are insanely physical. Playing the man before the ball on many ground balls(something I haven’t seen from RU in years). I love physicality early to set the tone. Something I have always preached while coaching.

Original post wasn’t supposed to say Cornell and Princeton physical teams. Supposed to say physical games.

Cornell has some dudes, specifically Kelleher and Reeder. Reeder played with my buddy’s son at St. Ignatius in SF and spent a year at Stanford for football before transferring to Cornell and he is a banger. But Overall B1G is far more physical and it isn’t really particularly close.
 
I’m struck by bad Duke is with all that talent they have. Shocking really.
 
Cornell needs to get more physical. Princeton getting cutters and hands free everywhere
 
I hope our offensive guys are watching this Princeton Cornell game. The way both teams are attacking early of the dodge and then working the inside later in the shot clock is what we were missing all season.
Yep. We definitely need to add another layer of offense, specifically that of working the inside.

Vorang has a really slick stick. I’d like to see him get some run specifically on the inside. We got a little more as the year progressed but we need a lot more of that. It keeps a defense honest if nothing else.
