Title: More About Nash
Post by: ebilmes on July 20, 2009, 05:46:24 PM
This blogger (http://lowetide.blogspot.com/2009/07/nash-his-own-man.html) thinks Nash is staying another year.
QuoteHe's headed back to Cornell at last report and they'll decide (he'll decide) next spring or summer about turning pro.

He also has some praise for Cornell and an interesting comparison of Nash with Chris Higgins.

QuoteIn fact, when the club's top prospects arrived for development camp in early July, they were immersed in boot camp -- specifically, an afternoon of military training at the Canadian Forces' Edmonton garrison.

The session included simulated shooting practice, a parachute jump, and rappelling down a 100-foot wall -- an exercise that got the better of prospect Riley Nash, who ended up suspended upside down nearly 100 feet off the ground.

"I didn't let any rope out, so I went end-over," said Nash. "Everyone started laughing, so I knew I wasn't in too much trouble."
