2020 NLL Draft: Stamper's Top 50 Prospects — 11-20

**15 Harrison Matsuoka LT, Okotoks Raiders Jr A & Stony Brook
Blazing speed and good stick skills (he had double-digit goal totals in each of his last two Jr A seasons) prepare Harrison Matsuoka to make the transition to the pro game smoothly. As with so many other players, a year of senior lacrosse would have been huge for him; he'll get it after he completes his extra year at Stony Brook and before he heads to an NLL camp, but it would have been nice for teams to get a look at him playing against men before having to decide at what point they're comfortable taking him.

2020 NLL Draft: Stamper's Mock Draft
4 Halifax (Compensatory pick—Matt Vinc)
Harrison Matsuoka, LT, Okotoks Raiders Jr A & Stony Brook
The Thunderbirds have plenty of forwards, so adding another defender—and in this case one with serious transition chops—makes sense for them. I feel like they might be interested in Dodds, too, though. While the right side is already pretty young, his grit and finishing ability might help get the most out of the other elements of Halifax's offence.

+
Speed.

-
Hasn't had much chance to compete on bigger stages than the RMLL.

Comp
Damon Edwards. Matsuoka takes after the Toronto Rock player's ability to apply his blazing speed to create transition but still have the control to shoot accurately.

BLAXERS BLOG: ANGIE BENSON, MARK ELLIS CATCH UP, REFLECT ON 2020

ANGIE BENSON: HOW HAVE YOU ENJOYED YOUR FIRST SEMESTER AS A STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COACH AT STONY BROOK?
MARK ELLIS: My first semester at Stony Brook has been unreal. I work with women’s swimming, men’s lacrosse and women’s lacrosse which is a crazy, fun experience. They’re very good, to say the least.

I’m learning a lot like when we spoke before but there’s a lot about the women’s game that I didn’t know. Now, I’m kind of understanding it more. I took it for granted before but now seeing the athletes and the work they put in is really cool to see.

Stony Brook has been a great experience going back after playing there is a full circle.

Inside Lacrosse Projects Patrick Kaschalk as NLL First-Round Pick
https://stonybrookathletics.com/news/2021/1/22/mens-lacrosse-inside-lacrosse-projects-patrick-kaschalk-as-nll-first-round-pick.aspx

In the publication's recent mock draft, senior attackman Patrick Kaschalk is ticketed to be drafted 10th overall.

Stony Brook alum Harrison Matsuoka became a first-round selection (14th overall) of his hometown Calgary Roughnecks this past September and intends to play professionally this upcoming season.

Stony Brook also boasted the second overall pick in the 2019 NLL draft, with the Rochester Knighthawks selecting America East Defensive Player of the Year Ryland Rees.

2021 PLL Entry Mock Draft
https://lacrossebucket.com/2021/02/12/2021-pll-entry-mock-draft/

Quote
6. Atlas LC: Challen Rogers, Midfield

Bryan Costabile and Connor Buczek ran that Atlas midfield last season, They also have two big, downhill dodgers in Romar Dennis and Paul Rabil. Adding Challen Rogers to the mix gives them another one of those types of players, but Rogers does have a bit more versatility to him and could work wonders for this midfield unit, especially if they lose somebody in the expansion draft.

5. Chrome LC: Mark Ellis, SSDM

Crome’s SSDM situation wasn’t great last season. Haus is a solid player that can be successful on both ends and Donny Moss and Sam Duggan are both good SSDMs, however, there are certainly improvements to be made all around. Ellis isn’t necessarily an upgrade size-wise, but he can still provide some more help in that area and beef up that SSDM room. Plus, he’s likely the next best after Davis-Allen and Goodrich, who I would expect to be gone by this point.

3. Atlas LC: Ben Randall, Defense

Trading Rob Pannell sets up Atlas nicely to take Duke’s Michael Sowers with the first overall pick in the College Draft. So I would expect them to focus on the defense with this first pick in the entry draft. Atlas has a solid foundation on the back end with Jack Concannon in cage and Cade Van Raaphorst as their top pole, alongside Tucker Durkin and Austin Pifani. Adding Ben Randall to this mix should immediately the league’s second-worst defense from last season. Randall has been one of the top poles in pro lacrosse and often takes the opposing team’s top guy. With a more experienced core around him than what he had in New York the past few seasons, Randall could really thrive.

LANGLEY, B.C. — Caleb Pearson will be reunited with his brother on their hometown box lacrosse team this summer.

Pearson, junior midfielder with the Stony Brook men's lacrosse team, was selected in the first round (sixth overall) by the Langley Thunder on Thursday night in the 2021 Western Lacrosse Association Graduating Junior Player Draft.

some ink for rogers (and also i like to claim ellis and randall too): https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/devitte-team-mll-vs-the-pll/57356

Quote
Transition-er: Challen Rogers
Not necessarily a do-it-all midfielder like Manis, Rogers brings a lot to the table in the moments that move the ball from defense to offense. Whether he’s already on the field or coming on to help with the clear, Rogers is the guy you want on the other end of the first pass out of danger. He’s also capable of staying on to set a few picks, float for a step-down, or dodge hard and force a slide on a slow break. Oh, and he can let loose the deuces if you’re looking for that sort of thing.

Wing Specialist: Mark Ellis
One of the problems with watching the Lizards the last few years was always wondering why Ellis didn’t get more reps. He really came into his own at the end of the 2019 season and flashed big-play ability in the bubble, as well. He really shines on the wing and in transition off of the draw, which is what most PLL teams need and what every pro team needs. Hustle is free for everyone, but not everyone does it like Ellis can.

Defense: Ben Randall
Randall has been saddled with trying to marshal a constantly shifting cast of defenders for years. Mentally, he can’t possibly be the same player he was when he came into the pro ranks. But that’s good. That’s hardened his soul. The disappointment has made him bitterly efficient and that is why he will lead the line on this imaginary team that absolutely needs a leader on defense. As happy as Randall would be to just be a No. 2 or 3 defensemen, on this team he is once again nominated to be the lead on the yoke. Luckily, an ox yoke is made for two bovine animals, so he won’t have to pull the cart alone.

Mike McCannell, Matt Anderson among Top Draft Picks in Ontario Lax League
https://stonybrookathletics.com/news/2021/3/19/mens-lacrosse-mike-mccannell-matt-anderson-among-top-draft-picks-in-ontario-lax-league.aspx

McCannell was selected in the first round (fourth overall) and Matt Anderson was selected in the second round (10th overall), both by the Oakville Rock, on Thursday night.

McCannell and Anderson will join an Oakville roster this summer that also includes Stony Brook alum Challen Rogers.

McCannell and Anderson's Stony Brook teammate, Caleb Pearson, similarly was drafted in first round (sixth overall) by the Langley Thunder in the 2021 Western Lacrosse Association Graduating Junior Player Draft in his native Alberta on Feb. 11.

Oakville Rock

4 Mike McCannell, LT, Orangeville

8 Cam Wyers, LD, Toronto Beaches

10 Matt Anderson, RF, Burlington Chiefs

16 Devlin Shanahan, G, Mimico

28 Hunter Lemieux, LF, Burlington

It wasn't a shock but was a mild surprise that McCannell went to Oakville fourth overall with Deaken still on the board. Bruce Codd is obviously a fan of both players, but the Northmen Jr A head coach and Rock assistant must have let GM Steve Dietrich know that since they were only going to get a chance to nab one of them, McCannel was the guy they felt would best fit into Oakville's lineup. The speedster scored 43 points, including 17 goals, over his final two seasons in Orangeville. McCannell also took just five minor penalties over those two seasons.

Anderson and Lemieux were key cogs in the potent offence in Burlington, which was the Jr A team affiliated with the Rock before Oakville got its own Jr A team for the 2019 season.
