They're a little bit more mature and they know how to handle things a little bit better. I was a little bit immature when I came, so I think the first year was a real learning experience. Time management is one of the essential skills Jason needed to master to survive the daily rigors of Cornell study and playing a varsity sport.

I think it's something that most of the guys on our team have been able to handle very well.
