Cam brings a lot of good things and a lot of positives to the field by how hard he plays and how smart he plays.
I think everybody is capable of beating everybody else at this point. I don't think there's a team out there that I could actually say, 'we really want to face them,' because they all have something on their team that makes us nervous.
They're one or two goals shy of being a playoff team and a top-10 team, and I think we understand that.
We went as he went last year offensively. We will rely on his leadership and experience in the offensive end to get everybody going.
We will need to settle in and mature very quickly. We will need to be very poised in those games and find a way to be successful early, before we hit the Ivy League portion of our schedule. That's where the maturity of our older guys, as small as that class is, will have to come into play.
We have six guys that are in the mix for us and all give us a little something different when they are on the field. It will just be a matter of adjusting for each game to find the appropriate combination that will give us the best opportunity to score.
Our staff and our team has waited for the opportunity to begin our 2006 journey since the moment we walked off the field in Princeton, N.J., following our loss to Duke in the NCAA tournament. It's been difficult knowing that other teams have been preparing and practicing already, so we are anxious to start.
I think that their contributions to Cornell lacrosse go beyond any statistical analysis or data that you can put in the paper or attempt to articulate. One of the goals of every senior class is to leave Cornell better than when they found it and this year's senior class has done so tenfold.
Derek came back with a lot of confidence and we're expecting more leadership from him this season and I think he's capable of that.
