I assume you are referring to Tierney, and I hear ya. But (to me) something seems to be missing with Corrigan's teams vis-a-vis what Tierney was able to instill in his players.

ND has been knocking on the door for a while. I share the reservations voiced by others about the coach, but they have done well with the portal. Every time I’m ready to anoint GT as the next big thing they make the tournament and, well, you know the rest. OSU seemed ready to take the next step a f...

Throwing in another UVA player - Matthew Nunes.

He has been fantastic down the stretch.

.... hot goalies make for title contenders, I am just saying....

That would be Duke 1, UVA 2. This is the most reasonable prediction for the final matchup. But I tend to think we will see some combination of UVA/Duke vs Cornell/PSU. I would definitely bet on that as the final four, but I don't know whether the eventual seedings will even allow it to happen. Naso...

These are a couple of very good points. I'm particularly disagreeing with those who think any jamoke with HC experience can step in and do better. If showing up every Memorial Day weekend was easy, everybody would do it. There is a small cadre of teams/coaches that have demonstrated an ability to do...

Recruiting rankings, financial investment/expenses into lacrosse, conference affiliation, however you want to slice it, Carolina is the outlier among the sample at the moment, much in the same way they were during the Haus era. There are 11 programs all time who have won the tournament championship...

It would be criminal if he's not a 1st team AA. He should be in top 5 for the tewaarton award too. The kid has been dominate and one of the best players in the country this yr. He's been the best player for Virginia this year. especially since Shelly's injury. Virginia is hard to figure because the...

so maybe some coaches are better at identifying high school (or really young h.s.) players than others. and perhaps at developing that talent within their program. My point was that the rankings in and of themselves mean nothing. But logic tells you which schools have first choice for recruits. In ...

I was speaking in generalities and it is more than just inaccurate recruit rankings. That's the thing though. When looking at top classes, are the rankings inaccurate? They have nailed UVA, Duke, and Maryland's success. UNC is the outlier. There's a pretty strong correlation between having top recr...

a healthy(er) Shellenberger would help UVA hit molo's prediction....

Congrats to Leopold Brothers: Starting on page 54: https://issuu.com/artisanspiritmag/docs/artisanspirit_issue042_web/54 Great article! Leopold Bros. have been stepping up their marketing game recently ;) I have noticed a certain master distiller popping up on social media a lot recently.... :lol: ...

The program isn't in great shape right now... Most every program has their moment in the sun. The question is, how often does this happen. For the terps, it's most every, if not every, year. For Towson, it's every X years. etc. Like most everyone else, SU will have their moment in the sun and then,...

What are the expectations at UNC? Are there any? Bunch of talent that amounts to not much. Chris Gray woke up the program for a few years, but that’s about it. ND is talented and plays hungry, that’s why it’s fun to watch them play. UNC can’t matchup vs ND. What if Brown didn’t have the suspension,...

UNC's back is against the wall...

I like all three, particularly Coach Wray but I do not think one of them has won an NCAA tournament game. I would hope that Duke gives serious consideration to Ron Caputo - great lacrosse mind. Caputo is a great coach. But Denver aside, you are really rolling the dice if you give a job like the Duk...
