Best Guys in the Sprints League

[crimsontide]

Any word on which programs have the real heavy hitters? Only with Harvard is it easy to tell because of the Crash-Bs. There has got to be at least a few on each team, even for the slower guys. I know of Newell and Meyer, and I'm pretty sure everyone knows about Prendes. But what about Cornell? Yale? Navy?

Who do you think is deserving of having their name thrown around?

Marko Ramius @ Navy has been makin' moves undetected for quite some time. Although he may try to transfer out.

Hugh Kohl and Tyler Nase from Princeton. Both freshmen, and are both about as strong as Newell and Meyer. Give them another year, and they'll be massacring them.

This year didn't seem to be good for the 'crimson tide,' as it were. Looking at the results, last year's star-studded class seems to have gotten slower, and this year's doesn't seem to be up to it. I notice there appears to be another Newell, but he doesn't look to be anywhere near as good as his brother. Perhaps Schultze in a year or two?

I'd say Princeton will probably have the strongest guys in the league. Cornell's always a bit hard to tell. If more teams did Crashbs it's be easier to tell. Which is probably why they don't.

prendes' boat as a freshmen got wrecked at the sprints. he was in a fast boat last year with a stud senior class (5 guys). id say the jury's still out. itll be interesting to see how they do with a new coach and slow jv and freshmen boats moving up to varsity from last year.

all in all this year seems like it will be much slower without the european kid form harvard, la cava, and dotto. and as said before harvards ergs are slower and they still did well this past fall

[LateinEarlyOut]

Remember with the Crash-b scores from Harvard and anyone else that the date of the race was about a week earlier than last year. Early in the season and if you are training properly one would expect the times to be slower or the same as last year given the early Crash-B.

What kinds of ergs are these guys pulling. Didn't Meyer win the U23 crash-b's? In the 6:20's, isn't that good enough? Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, etc. They'll always have fast guys on the ergs, but ergs just tell you how much time you made up/lost on a crew based on you ability on the water.

THE Patrick Kenney. Yale

discussion over

[yeahbuddy]

He may be good but he went to Yale, Harvard will be in the mix with Princeton this year. It should be the HP's since Yale has fallen off in speed.

[TysonSprint]

What kind of times are Hugh Kohl and Tyler Nase pulling? If they are up there with Meyer and Newell, I'm guessing 620?

Patrick Kenney? Up there with Meyer? Take a look at 2008 Crash B's:

Kenney is 33rd, compared to Meyer's 3rd, and Nesel's 10th. Really? Really a 6:46 being compared to a 6:25? Granted these are two years ago, but come on! Look at number seven, A.J. Brooks. He just so happens to be the guy that stroked Newport's eight to two national championships, in style. He rows at UW now, I think. He's certainly a lightweight, just rowing as a heavy. I think he deserves to have people talking about him more than anyone else. It takes some guts to row heavy when your a lightweight, then go to the school that defines heavyweight. I'm pretty sure he could smoke most any light on the erg, plus most anyone on the water. Did I mention he rowed in the jm2- ? A light in a pair with a heavyweight? Getting 4th at Junior Worlds? A whole lot better than Meyer and Nesel did in their double. A.J. Brooks is the man, no doubt about it.

Tyler Nase 6:20.5. Brian Kenney 6:16.5.

I think you forgot to mention his dreamy eyes and how peaceful his sleeping looks through your night vision binoculars
