Program run by a large donor. Ponies up money for a new building then installs his guy as OC. Gee - Ya think his kid is going to see more playing time?

Of the Dutch freshmen, here is one I will be keeping an eye on, Anthony Rinaldi, good size Middie, out of Bullis. Hofstra has 11 players from MD this year, including five from St. Paul's School: https://gohofstra.com/sports/mens-lacrosse/roster $36k a year to attend SP to have your kid go to Hofstr...

Villanova over Denver? No.

Villanova is a very good lacrosse program. On any given day they can compete/beat any team in the country. The idea that the number of All-Americans on a team is directly correlated with winning is misguided. Awards don’t equal wins.

When you can upgrade with established players why wouldn’t you. They improved at the attack, d-middie, defense and faceoff all areas of need and they did it with solid guys. This is the new world order and you have to do whatever it takes to win. Rutgers is struggling in the recruiting game so they ...

11 to Rutgers is an embarrassment. Get a coach that can develop the players he recruited from high school.

Villanova is a highly competitive institution in which to gain admittance. Most parents looking at VU view lacrosse as a means to get their son in the door. Very few families that are “shopping” for that type of school are concerned about the scholarship money. Getting in is the brass ring.

Anyone know any of these kids who got screwed by these rental seniors? People have been mentioning this for 3 years now, who are all these kids who never got to play and who’s future got destroyed because a team brought in someone else? Anyone got names? Which, by the way, they could have done with...

Granting an extra year of eligibility was a colossal mistake by the NCAA. It created this wild west environment while simultaneously screwing all the kids who were displaced by a rental senior.

Gtown and probably others have been so dependent on the portal that most of their rising juniors and seniors have never seen the field. It has to be an issue in that locker room and certainly at the parent's tailgates. 6 of the 11 rising seniors started or saw significant time this year. Only 1 of ...

Tiffany is arguably the best coach in D1. He will run circles around Corrigan. Adjustments in 2nd half vs Georgetown were masterful. Can he do it vs Dano is the bigger question.

I think this is an over-reaction. Lets take UVa Shelly, Dickson, Cormier are the top 3 scorers. McConvey certainly adds to the picture, but I believe 8 of the top 9 scorers are recruited players. FOGO- recruited Goalie recruited Top 3 poles are all recruited.. Not exactly reliant on transfers to me....

Correct. I am referring to the hit out of bounds.

That should be a penalty box post. Totally uncalled for, offensive and, least importantly, ignorant of lacrosse. UVA massacres Georgetown last game regardless of who is at FO. It is also not as if Reilly is TD. He is very good but not a game decider. [/quote] Fair enough. Deleted. Back to my origina...

Like last time - I’m sure UVA will try to knock Reilly out of the game. Winning face offs with long possessions is key to a Hoyas victory. Expect extremely aggressive UVA wing play. For sure especially if he goes out that easily. I like that you are already crying pregame. Hmm. I must have struck a...

Certainly Duke and UVA. The way they are playing now - I think Hopkins, Michigan and Georgetown would beat them as well.

Will be a huge Hopkins crowd. Notre Dame is overrated. The Hop by 2-3 goals.

Because no kids on Ivy rosters are pre first/re-classed/PG’d. SMH

He’s already OC.
