I wanted to evaluate Wable ever since I saw him at NAL in late June. He stood out as a hard-nosed short stick who is willing to get his hands dirty. Whether it is winning a tough ground ball in a scrum, jamming up a dodger one-on-one, or putting a ball carrier on the turf, Wable is willing to do the dirty work.

Competition runs in the Wable family. His three older brothers are all college athletes—one is a freshman at UNC, another plays lacrosse at Marist, and another plays football at Penn. His competitiveness stands out most in his offensive game. I would not call him the most skilled player out there, but the pure dawg in him puts him over the top. He put up 46 goals and 24 assists for Cheshire in the spring, including two game-winners. His lefty shot reminds me of Matt Rambo’s because it looks unconventional and mechanical, and in the way he loads up and pushes the ball. He projects more as an SSDM at the next level, like his brother Paul at UNC, but it is nice to know he can get it done in transition when needed.
