Q: When did you start playing lacrosse?
A: I started laxing in third grade as a goalie. I realized I liked inflicting pain more than receiving it, so I switched to a position where I could hurt people.
Q: What are your goals for the season?
A: If we can put the ball in the net more than the other team does, that would be a success.
Q: Why are you the only guy that doesn’t wear midcalves?
A: Did you see me today?
Q: Favorite lacrosse memory?
A: Brewster…last year.
Q: Favorite pregame song?
A: I would say its a House Mix. Heart Vacancy (DJs from Mars), Turbulence (Lil Jon and Steve Aoki and Laidback Luke), Fight Club is Closed (Dada Life), White Noise/ Red Meat (Dada Life), OMG We R the Dirty Bit (Usher, Ke$ha, Black Eyed Peas) are my jams right now.
Q: Any pregame rituals?
A: Hit myself repeatedly all over my body with my shaft to stimulate muscle explosiveness.
Q: You have had leg cramping problems in the past. Any specific ways to help those cramps?
A: Drinking a lot of pickle juice from Commons. My boy Raphael hooks me up.
Q: How comfy is your pillow?
A: The narrow width of my sleeping spoon is perfect for my pinhead.
Q: Everyone knows you are jacked. What is the max for bench press and squat?
A: Benching I would say I max out at 315 lbs. As for squats, it is probably close to 475 lbs.
Q: Why the number change?
A: Two words…in cognito.
