Expert Analysis
Carey Smith | Prep Lacrosse Scout
The first item that popped about Riney this fall was his knack for creating turnovers with well-timed stick checks, pokes, and lifts. Riney showed that he is a poised LSM / close defender who can stay glued to a ball carrier and patiently wait for the right opportunity to strike. Once the offensive player gave Riney an opening, the ball quickly ended up on the turf. Riney’s ground ball skills also turned heads. On the perimeter, in traffic and on the face-off wing, Riney was quick to locate the rock and then use his crafty stick skills to secure possession. Riney’s speed and cut back moves then enabled him to clear the ball. Riney flashed the ability to drop down low and played close defense at a high-level too.
