After seizing a starting role as a sophomore for one of the top public school programs in Connecticut, Cronin put together a strong summer and finished his circuit nicely at New Balance. While I wasn’t able to see him until the last event of July, I liked what I saw in terms of his smooth and slick dodging style, ability to make his man miss in a multitude of ways, and how well he found cutters and the open man on the doorstep. What also impressed me is his confidence to let shots go that others wouldn’t think of: around the net, he’ll shoot even when he’s almost below GLE and has just a sliver of net available to him. Overall, he’s super smooth and has really good hands — I’ll be intrigued to follow his progress in his second year as a starter.
