Expert Analysis
Carey Smith | Prep Lacrosse Scout
I normally do not compare high school prospects to college players, but I must admit, Irish does remind me a little of Cornell standout Ryan Goldstein. Like Goldstein, Irish is an undersized attack with a quick burst, serious shake, a well-rounded skill set and a high IQ. His ability to score or feed with either hand is impressive. Irish can initiate from anywhere on the field, but he thrives when operating from X. His explosive first step and filthy cutback moves enable Irish to lose the initial defender, race around the corner and then deposit the ball in the net. Irish has repeatedly proven that he can absorb significant contact on his charges to the cage. If the defensive slide cuts him off, Irish will move the rock to an open teammate. Irish can also hold the ball at X until a cutter comes open and then deliver a timely dime. Lastly, this sophomore has demonstrated that he can score by cranking shots from GLE as well as the wing.
