Weekend Scrimmage

[Caliknight]

Heard it was a barn burner. 17-16 with a lot of guys popping. It's early but I think the righty attack spot is becoming solidified along with the lefty spot. Guys that I am hearing a lot about early outside of the knowns are Colin Kurdyla, Cardin Stoller, and Colin Kelly. Also, there are "definitely some studs in the freshman class" as one of the players told me. One of our posters might not like who one of those guys is based of what he was told from his "friend from up north".

One thing is becoming very clear. There are players up and down the roster that are going to allow the staff to have options. The Dmids brought in are as advertised.

I'm betting Colin Kelly turns out to be one of those big surprises. Saw RU released the roster and he's a big dude, listed at 6'5".

He can sling it in the neighborhood of Connor Kirst and Mitch Bartlolo.

It's going to add that dimension back to the offense which really frees up Ross Scott to do his thing. Kelly can also carry. He's a weapon.

Not that I want to rush it but very excited about the team from what you have been saying

Was it indoors? 17-16 would have been amazing in that weather.

Lotta work to do to get the team up to meet it's potential but there are some really nice pieces and a great mix of young guys and older experienced guys who have played a lot of top level ball.

Biggest thing is there are a bunch of talented guys who are good cultural fits and want to be great. Like most years, I expect that we will be playing our best ball when it matters the most in April and May.

The more comfortable the Dmids get having the green light to go at guys on offense the quicker we develop and the ceiling continues to go higher.

Haven't heard much about the close unit yet but know our goalie play will hopefully be a bright spot. Stoller turned heads as a freshman and has taken another step over the summer.

Nope. They played outside. Guys are tough.

Loved watching a big guy like Bartolo bull dodge and rip it. At this level, everyone on the field can run well but man those big guys bring another element not seen everywhere.

That added level of physicality definitely brings a unique style of play. Gotta love power lacrosse on offense.

Some highlights from the Albany scrimmage.

Just noticed the end of the video Cali posted. RU scrimmaging at RFH and hanging post game at Vals is awesome. Gonna grab my son and a few of his Howell/Mad Dog Teammates.
