Cornell lacrosse in 2011

[Josh '99]

Truer words have never been spoken.  I don't see Mock taking Hurlery's spot, but someone will.

i don't necessarily know that won't be the case ... Mock stepped up big time in the NC$$'s

with that said, i'll put  money's on "i don't have a clue ... "

Quint thinks it might be Mock: http://insidelacrosse.com/news/2010/06/14/quint-kessenichs-2011-sophomores-watch

Certainly Mock will be a big part of the picture next year -- but who get's the third attack spot?  We've got returnees like Austin, Gilbane, Taylor and Gamble -- maybe one of them will step-up.  Or perhaps Lau or Gillum move back to attack from the midfield. And then there's guys from the incoming class like Entenmann and Bremner.  However it shakes out, there seems to be enough top-end talent to have a dynamic attack.

Seemed to me Hurley's height was a big advantage for his catch-and-shoot style at the crease.  Made it easier for Pannell to feed him.

Move Lang to attack, if you really want size there?

I'm more worried about midfield than attack.  That was this past season's #1 soft spot.  Lang and Lau were the two best dodgers at midfield, although Lang has to learn to hold onto the ball better while dodging.  I'm hoping Bremner will bring Canadian-style finishing skills to the table next year, but we'll have to wait and see--as with all freshmen.

Agreed, the midfield must be more dynamic next season; it was held in check during the ND game and really hampered the attack.

Harvard coach and Cornell alum John Tillman reportedly replacing Dave Cottle at Maryland: http://insidelacrosse.com/news/2010/06/15/sources-harvards-tillman-be-named-maryland-head-coach

I guess we owe Maryland one for Richie Moran.

>>> UM is expected to make the news official on Wednesday. It's believed to be a long-term deal. Calls to Tillman and to UM senior associate athletics director Michael Lipitz have not been returned.

A bit top-heavy on administrators.

Tillman comes to College Park after three years returning Harvard lacrosse to national prominence....During his three seasons at Harvard, Tillman compiled an overall record of 20-19, including an 8-5 mark in 2009, which was the Crimson's highest win total since 1999.

Wow.  A .500 record, no tournament appearances and a fifth place finish in a seven team league. That's a return to national prominence???::wtf::

I appreciate the win over Princeton, but...::rolleyes::

Maybe they meant "relevance"?

Also, "return to"?  Have they ever been nationally prominent?

Twelve national championships between 1881 and 1915.

OK, then have they ever been relevant?

I'd have taken Tillman in a second...

Apparently one of Cornell's recruits is playing for Sweden in the world championships.

It will be intersting to see how much more attention the publication will pay to us now that they can use us to pimp their event,
