NLL Insider

Although more geared towards the Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft, ESPN and Inside Lacrosse’s Quint Kessenich checked in with his Top 25 NCAA Seniors on the MLL Draft Board, which includes a number of high profile Americans, and even Canadians, already slated for stardom in the National Lacrosse League as well.

Cornell’s Max Seibald, who NLL Insider ranked as the top American draft eligable player in our initial 2009 NLL Entry Draft preview, currently sits second behind Syracuse middie Matt Abbott in the MLL’s Top 25 rundown, with Kessenich describing the Big Red leader as, “The ideal midfielder for the MLL –- he faces-off, plays defense, clears the ball and takes his man to the cooker.”

Although NLL GM’s needs obviously differ from the pro field league’s head honcho’s checklist, both Seibald’s and Abbott’s versatile and athletic game already has some box lacrosse GM’s and scouts thinking of how they can land either midfielder with a first or second round pick next September during the NLL’s Entry Draft.

Also included in Kessenich’s ranking are NLL prospects Zack Greer, Garrett Billings, Joel Dalgarno and Sid Smith. The four currently rank within NLL Insider’s top prospect watchlist and are consensus first round picks in the NLL.

Check out Kessenich’s list for more American college studs likely already on a number of NLL GM’s radar and stay tuned to NLL Insider for more coverage on the 2009 NLL Entry Draft.
