Sunday, we will see how the chemistry of the new coaching staff
and the evolution of the Stony Brook men's lacrosse team will
blossom. From my observations, this season has shown an
enormous and exciting building and growth of SBU's lacrosse
TEAM. When I compare what I saw months ago to what I see in the
past few games, I see a powerful rebirth of a spirited and
talented TEAM. I have always looked at the players as the raw
materials for the TEAM that are selected, taught, measured,
judged and brewed together by the coaches to make the final
TEAM. I feel very lucky to have witnessed this season's
evolution and building.
BEST to the team, the players and the coaches whatever the
result. I will be in the stands Sunday at Homewood Field
cheering for SBU.
best, N

Do you guys agree that Laforet looks much improved facing off? I
haven't seen as many games as I would have liked this season,
but I don't remember him winning clean faceoffs before the last
two games. I'm not saying I think he's a stud at the face off x,
but he does seem like he's getting better.
I absolutely agree about our midfield. Tundo is a two time all
NYS running back in high school. Bonanno was all long island.
This midfield is as big and physical as you can find anywhere in
the country and will create match up problems. Just weighing in
at 190, 195, and 210, I can't imagine there are many midfield
lines in the country with that kind of size (Jonhs Hopkins with
Ranagan and Greeley is one).
I just looked over our team stats and we've only had 8 guys play
in every game this season and only two of those started each
contest. Rooney was playing midfield at the beginning of the
season, Tundo attack. Posters on laxpower that haven't seen a
single SBU game can look at our record and call us a cupcake,
but we have talent and everyone is healthy and playing their
best lacrosse right now.

I think you are corrct newbi this should be the start of big
things for the program, with the talent already here and coming
next year. We just need that signature win hopefully this
weekend. Also agree on Rooney that kid is a stud, he has
tremendous stick ability and the right amount of swagger to be
considered a top attckman in the country. What Kesnick and the
other blowhards don't get is that these kids from L.I. have
played against the best in high school so when they play them
now there is no intimidation factor.

sbufan, From what I have heard, Laforet has spent hours and
hours working on his FO with the long stick. Remember, some of
the best FO players use the long stick. We have to give credit
to players like Laforet to give such extra effort and work to
improve his performance.

So Hopkins defensive midfielders are huge, all over 200 lbs, so
Stony Brook won't overwhelm with them size. I think the point
still stands that Stony Brook's midfield does have elite
athleticism, and they should still be a unique test for the blue
jays.
