Would love to ban lacrosse analytics from this site. It is completely useless bs and is often misleading. We have hit a new low when we share a deep analytical dive into Howard lacrosse.

... my comments are based on coaching only. Not recruiting. Im talking about the X and O's, and in game coaching.

As I clearly said it is "just my opinion" based on my personal observations over the past decade and knowing elite players on each of the teams you mention and hearing the same thing from them. This includes players at UNC. Levy seems very nice and I have no issues with her whatsoever. She...

... I think the list is fairly long. Have to also ìnclude Spallina, AW, JMU coach, like what I see from VT coach. Easy to win when you have the best athletes on the field in every single game you play. In my opinion Levy has probably never been the best coach on her staff with Barnes and Dowd probab...

Not sure that you are factoring age into the equation. In 5 years, McCool and Appuzzo will be 31 or 32 years old. Even Mastriani will be close to 30 but she might still be playing. Also dont think you take more than 2 true defenders. Sixes is more of a two way player game.

I think it is great to have lacrosse in the Olympics and if the only way to do it is to play sixes, so be it. I've seen the sixes game played up close in person at the highest level and it was very exciting to watch. Obviously the olympic committee felt the same way. It is a step forward in growing ...

How big will rosters for olympic sixes be and will many of the elite players playing in AU be able to play in 5 years. Or will it be the next generation of great players.

How is BC doing in the recruiting race this year. Hear a lot about UNC and Cuse but nothing about BC and little about Northwestern. UNC incredibly well positioned talent wise moving forward.

In my opinion being a 1st team All ACC and All American midfielder every year including freshman year in the age of 5th year Covid players makes you elite. The depth of talent in D1 due to Covid has never been stronger the past 3 years.

Exactly. Why is Spallina such a great get when several people on this site said she would not start at UNC or BC for a few years. That does not sound "great". Always good to get a top tier player but individual rankings dont mean much until proven on the field. Just look at a few top 5 rec...

It’s Clemson. She’s just waiting to go to the football game. Luckily for them they played Duke on the road. I have not seen AS play. Is she more of a UNC caliber player or more of a Clemson caliber player. Is she a very elite athlete typical of many of the best UNC players or is she a player that h...

Starting to hear some chatter about AS and Stony Brook..CUSE/UNC/SB/Clemson seem to be the final four with BC on the outside. I see this as a CUSE/UNC battle with her going to CUSE. but If she doesn't commit next week this might drag on and the longer it drags, bad news for Syracuse. if she goes to...

The rising college seniors, i.e., those who graduate in 2024 don’t have a Covid year. Those players graduated high school in 2020 and were not in college when the Covid year (2020) was granted. They are not eligible for a fifth year. In general, this (2024) should be the last year of grad transfers...

Grabbing 2 AA attackers when BC lost Medjid and Cort Weeks and really did not see other players ready to step up and play at a consistently high level was a no brainer for AWW, and yes, she is shocked that she got both players. The fact that both players have 2 years left is a big bonus. It fills th...

BC picks up their 3rd AA transfer. Clarke from UVA. In my eyes BC just went from having an outside chance at Memorial Day weekend to a team with a strong chance to make the final 4 (when LoPinto was added) to a team that could very be back in the championship game (with Clarke). You never know what...

Going to post again that Clarke is going to BC since big news

BC picks up their 3rd AA transfer. Clarke from UVA.

USA Lacrosse put out their training list for the U20 team and it has LoPinto listed as a BC player. Guess it's finally out there. Lopinto also visited Northwestern. If she was purely ring chasing, she would have joined the reigning National Champs who are favored to win again. Is LoPinto RING CHASI...

Lopinto visited several top 5 schools. Im sure there were several factors and winning and competing in the ACC was one of them. Some kids are wired to compete and be the best and she appears to be one of those kids. Florida like ND are similar. Lots of talent and lots of disappointment and a fair am...
