he is a much better hurler than footballer in that he does not  have to use his feet in the hurling! He has great hands and  uses them  to great effect in the hurling!
See people say this having seen him play once in the U21 Munster final, where he was outstanding. If people saw him in the county championship they wouldn't be half as glowing in their praise of him as a hurler. Leave him stick to the football and come hurling when he's ready, he has a long way to go before he can be thrown in on the likes of a Tommy Walsh.

Best of luck to Jerry O Connor, ex-HOTY, Cork legend, enough said.

The boy has a lot of pressure on him. He's stretched a bit, he was poor in the county final, but there's a lot of demand on him (and Ciaran Sheehan..badly missed him in the final, and the season with Cork as well) He was poor with CIT in the final, and it was disappointing really, they were favorites but they didn't get going, and bad decisions were made on the sideline, but Walsh was poor, that being said, he went to the Australian trials 2/3 days before hand.
I agree fully, let him decide when he's ready and he'll come good. That age is very demanding for a 20 odd year old IC player.
U21s, senior, club, college, and a dual player at that and now he's off with the Irish team. He's at that age where he feels he has to do everything, but that is a one way street to burn out. And I'm glad in a way that he made the decision to stick with football because he didn't allow anyone to pressure him into it. Saying no to the hurlers says a lot about his character.

He'll stay with the football, maybe until he's just with club and county seniors. When he's ready and he's less on his plate I think he'll go dual because he's that kind of player.
