Is someone leaving? They have 3 assistant coaches now and isn't that the limit? Job is listed as entry level with minimum 1 year experience

I think women's lax has the potential to continue to grow. My concern is that the new rules will effectively create a two-tier systems of have and have-nots, even more than today. I can see 8-10 schools investing in lacrosse with 25+ scholarships will everyone else at current or lower levels. While...

No. It was FSU. According to a friend whose daughter is currently in the portal, they spoke to the AD today who said they are in the process of looking for a coach and are early in the process. And zero recruiting activity has happened to date since there is no coach. Without a coach, not just at F...

top 3 in all 4. So what you are saying, is that they would be one of the top 4 teams in EVERY conference except the Big 10 and ACC and the 2024 version of the Ivy. Congrats to the D3 champs - but I’m not sure why we need to turn this into negatively commenting on a lot of hard working D1 young wome...

I've been a head coach of a new Division 1 program in a new conference for women's lacrosse. Albeit 10-15 years ago. Nontheless, I remember thinking that first season....Gettysburg would have wiped the floor with everyone in that conference. Sometimes you have to own it. Ignore the divisional bias ...

ONW WHAT HAPPENED??? Boston College played an overall better game. Much better game in crunch time. They kept focus. Whereas I felt Northwestern changed how they were going about their business and started to try to get cute after running up the 6-0 lead. Either NU eased off the gas a little or BC ...

Some things I have heard: Current discussions are around football, basketball, baseball/softball being "tier 1" sports with revenue sharing for student-athletes probably starting in the neighborhood of 20-25 mil split how the school sees fit.You will still have big time conferences simila...

To get back to the original question, I think the lack of scholarship caps could create an imbalance at the top of women's lax. If a school chooses to fund 30 women's lax scholarships (something our favorite USF assistant proposed earlier this year), any school that could fund this would have a mas...

I feel I am on an island with Florida. Maybe Northwestern offense will be too much - no arguing the talent. But if there is a defense out there as physical as Northwestern's, it might be Florida. On the other side of ball, Florida may not have the skill of Northwestern big 3, but they have speed to ...

Not if WLax leadership doesn't create more fan interest. Other sports are way less of a drain than WLax (Women's BB actually makes money at a ton of schools). Things that are ruining WLax fan interest: -The draw -- I took someone who was a huge sports person to his first ever WLax game between two ...

ACC as a whole will probably be changing soon (I’d say within 3 years) : Clemson, FSU, UNC to BIG or SEC VT, PITT, Louisville to BIG 12 others- ? As somebody else said - wlax has nothing to do with this, it is all about football. 2nd- but far away from football, is basketball. Which means wlax powe...

Ignoring transfers which will happen, both in and out, I'd go 1) BC -- will be preseason #1, probably unamimous. 2) NW -- a lot more talent there than most people think 3) Yale -- been building for this year for a while 4) Michigan -- moving in right direction with 2 potential Tewey finalists 5) UV...

Now that the women’s transfer portal is open, what is it looking like? Are there a bunch of players looking to make a switch? For those who like numbers.... The NCAA tracks Portal activity by sport by year. In 2023 there were 218 D1 women SUCCESSFUL transfers, with 143 of them undergrads. Numbers g...

Trouble in Carolina blue paradise? Another (trustee) Jennifer Halsey Evans, said the department faced a $17 million deficit in its current-year projections, and a cumulative deficit of $100 million in the coming years, “with no plan to address that, to mitigate that.” “So, I don’t want anyone to th...

Going to need at least 2-3 defenders from the portal if possible. Not worried about offense Wait a minute...isn't this the great UNC Tar-Heels? Why are you going to the Portal for players? Don't you get, year-in and year-out, some of the top HS talent in the country? So, why would you need the port...

College finals are done by this week. This is arguably the best set of 4 games in women's lacrosse every year. It should be "must see TV" for high school girls! I can live with Thursday, but don't like it. Make all the games start later, some overlap is acceptable. Noon for MD vs FL?? Bot...

For what it is worth - It is too early for top winner list, but not for the top disappointments of the 2024 lacrosse year. 1) ND & UNC. Both came into year with high hopes and expectations. ND coming back with an experienced team and went into portal to add to it and came up short (yes I know th...
