I would move Penn down in the seeding to about 6, and I would put ND in around 4 and move Yale out. My thing with Yale is that they were not able to win any really ...

Sorry not to have started the dialogue last week, as I was traveling. Here goes: WLAX Bracketology Sunday, April 14th 1 Northwestern (Big 10 AQ) 2 Syracuse (ACC AQ) 3 Notre Dame (At large) 4 Loyola (Patriot AQ) 5 Virginia (At large) 6 Maryland (At large) 7 Michigan (At large) 8 Florida (AAC AQ) Bost...

After watching the BC - Yale game, it looked to me like BC was a clear top 8, and Yale a clear top 16, but I guess neither is as good as Fairfield !!

I dropped them to my second group of three out (in post above) after the loss to St Joes … right or wrong, who knows?!

A lot of you are making strong cases for rankings under the polls thread, I've tried to consider those inputs along with a few personal opinions to continue putting this in "bracketology" thinking, with an emphasis on the last ones in as well as the seed lines. I've also tried to include a...

Great slate of games today: from Mich vs MD informing us on contenders for #1, BC needing to handle UNC to continue to warrant a high ranking, JMU - Hop a great test to see who belongs in the top 8-10, a couple key Ivy games to continue sorting the wheat from the chaff and all the intra-conference g...

Yes, that’s my current assessment re seeding. I also agree re needing to win out, especially for ND. A lot will change in these coming weeks - will be fun to watch!!

Here is my weekly update with WLAX bracketology as of Tue Mar 26: (I have updated some of the AQs based on eligibility for new D1 teams) 1 Maryland (Big 10 AQ) 2 Northwestern (At large) 3 ND (ACC AQ) 4 Boston College (At large) 5 Syracuse (At large) 6 Loyola (Patriot AQ) 7 Michigan (At large) (holdi...

+1000 !

ND should easily hold serve the rest of the way. Don’t expect and more close ones for them until mid-May!

I would presume the A SUN gets a bid no matter, it just goes to the team that finishes highest in the conf tourney, other than Lindenwood

It seems like a good time to start this, what with us all just finishing making donations to our local NCAA BB pools! Someone mentioned Duke potentially making the WLAX tournament this year, after they beat Harvard the other day, so I thought I would run through a cut at a bracket. I am not good wit...

I took a shot at this including “Quad 1” wins (vs other top 15), like they do in BB: 1. NW (3-1) super high SOS, doesn’t get much easier from here 2. ND (2-2) NW win strongest, 4 top 10 games so far, really only BC remaining 3. MD (3-1) sched not as tough as ND to date 4. UNC (2-2) UVA win looking s...

I am an unranked player in the class of 2025. I live in the Philadelphia area and have played with and against many of the ranked 5 star recruits in my class. I haven’t really attended any prospect camps or showcases besides AU futures and UA underclass all- American games or gotten any exposure be...

Emma Penczek to Clemson!

20 D1 commits so far, but as noted, after this weekend a lot will likely start falling. here is the timing last year to reach the various numbers of D1 commits for 2024's: total approx commits. date 100 9/14 200 9/20 300 9/26 400 10/3 500 10/9 600 10/17 700 10/26 800 11/15 900 12/05 1000 12/20 1100 ...

jff, great work once again! Maybe you should wait on the younger classes until they get through at least three (if not four) years of eligibility? Even for strong players, can be hard to step right into starting roles at certain programs …

When my daughter was going through recruiting I developed a list of all the D1 wlax schools, comparing lacrosse ranking with academics (using 25%th percentile test scores as the measure). Any school academically below the best she was likely able to get into without lacrosse, was automatically off t...

at least this should be the last year for grad transfers. my D will be a junior this year, in addition to losing a year in HS, she has had three years of grad transfers coming in. then again she got into a really great school with lax, loves her team, loves the school, etc. so we really cant complai...
