Whenever Duke Coach Danowski decides to step - down who would be the likely successor? Heard that Duke does not favor nepotism so does that preclude his son or does the AD defer to John ? Is K. Caseese a front-runner? Any Top 20 head coach come to mind? No AC’s of the Final Four teams strike as via...

I will never understand all of the nuts and bolts about how restaurants like RL operate. I do understand that my mom and dad loved RL. They always had a game plan. They were the first ones in the door for lunch at 11 am. By 11:30 am the place was packed pretty much for the rest of the day. I don't ...

Surprised to see Balsamo in the portal. He hit the sophomore slump, but I thought he was primed for a lot more meaningful minutes next year. A program will be lucky to grab him, he's a competitor. Yes, very interesting and surprising. Wonder what the story is? I texted a buddy and he said "rum...

Called someone a lil more in the know. Sounds like cuse is just a rumor. He’s trying to go Ivy - hearing UPenn. A ‘new Ivy’ is just down the street from Duke, Carolina. 👀 Bizarre falloff in one year. His freshman season he was impactful. I bet some team will be really happy they land him. Btw his l...

What about the non-power 5? (BTW are JHU and ND considered part of a power 5 conference IAW House vs NCAA?) ND is almost assuredly a P5 conference team as that really just relates to football. And really it is only the P4 now with the PAC 12 imploding. Hopkins isn't even on the same planet as those...

BlaxFive lists John Harding, a middie from McQuaid Jesuit, as a Hobart commit. McQuaid won the A conference in Section 5 and is still playing in the NY tournament. BlaxFive shows Harding with 54 goals and 29 assists for this season. A friend tells me he’s football only actually. http://gohobart.blo...

At this rate, he should hang around and take over for Coach Corrigan when he retires. The Navy job comes with a great deal of prestige and resources. I grew up there. But damn, Notre Dame is Notre Dame. They have this thing humming there. As an Irish fan, I hope he sticks it out and gets passed the...

ND was only one of two programs in the history of college lacrosse to win a natty with 1 or fewer losses. The "natty" has been won 27 times by teams "with 1 or fewer losses." And 13 of those teams were undefeated. Plus: Cornell won back to back in 76-77 with 0 losses on the way ...

A championship ring is cool. But so is a 401k and company sponsored health insurance. 6 years might be too many… Gotta consider NIL now.. I know Tevlin and Fake saw some pretty good coin last year. I imagine Conlin did as well to leave his banking job in lieu of another year. I’m well into my caree...

Rewatched. Trying hard not to blame any one player, but man alive, NOT EVEN ONE SAVE IN THE FIRST HALF?!! Just being picked apart high right hand; ND saw film which shows McNaney prefers bouncers. Team deflated after they saw their goalie wasn’t seeing much. That Taylor goal on the crease to tie it...

We’ll look back on these last few years as the “Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa years” of college lacrosse. Most top program rosters were abnormally juiced. MD, VA, DU, ND. All of them. Is what it is and will follow the last few champions through time. I understand the point you are making, but it fall...

Did I hear right that ND has 20 seniors and grad students contributing to the team? Oh, sure, this abundance is a consequence of Covid, which is no one's fault or plan, but until this Covid year-or-two eligibility jiggering winds off of the rosters I'm putting an asterisk next to these super-teams....

Sure my response to the others fighting for that #1 in the save line as if it mattered. Quite the hill to die on.

So for some of us older laxers on the forum, we had an NCAA rule at one point, where penalties would release if the man-down team was able to get possession of the ball, clear it into the offensive zone, and touch a foot inside the restraining box. Would you be in favor of reinstating this rule? I ...

Top recruits are not thinking Sacred Heart or Merrimack, their list include the same schools as 25 years ago - the caveat being ND ; their surge coincides to the dominance of Catholic HS programs ( see list of top HS programs by state in IL). Does a top recruit choose Bart over Md ? Not likely, des...

This a top 5 team of all time. PK or LE Dang. Cornell is then in the top 10 all time? Lost by one and should’ve won. Congrats Cornell: you’re now top 10 of all time. :lol: (The recency bias here is off the charts) Shoulda coulda woulda. If rankings were purely transitive, maybe they would've been i...
