LaxPower Back-Up Stick

After watching yesterdays NCAA games, I'm reminded that a team's D, specifically, a team's goalie (and team's F/O guy) makes a huge difference. Much like our Team Ds. Seems unfair that one position is so important but the fact remains, it's important.

Right. I hear you. He isn't the *best* recruiter. That very well may be true. I do have to say. Watching UVA yesterday, they have a LOT of talent.

Why do you say that? I'd argue that the best recruiters get the best talent and he undeniably gets some pretty top notch talent.

... If there was any doubt who’s going to be the ignition for UVA next year, there isn’t any more. Millon took over for most of the game for the Hoos. Shelley when it counted most... I was impressed by how both took the microphone at any given moment but neither did it selfishly. That's a skill. Be...

No doubt...

Chayse Ierlan is great. Definitely much more than an HM AA. Strange...

From where I'm sitting, what JHU and SU were missing (and Denver as well for that matter) is a player that'll consistently ignite the offense. Strange to watch Joey Spallina stand behind the cage backing up shots all game. UVA, on the other hand, has two: Shellenberger and Millon. Two unique players.

UVA has a LOT of talent. Especially on the O side of the ball. JHU has talent... that finishes the play.

4 good games today, all day. Noon until 10 PM...

Sounds like, not for long...

I highly doubt Coach Posner would've accepted the L'ville coaching position without L'ville being a boarding school. And, if he did (which I doubt he would've), there's no way L'ville would be winning like they're currently winning. Coach Posner needs his Canucks and other out-of-towners. And... Thi...

... with BL building a boarding place, what will be impact if BL ramps it up with OOS players. Will McD follow and who else. I have no clue. And would it be so bad if they do? I have no allegiance to any of the MIAA schools. I just like good lacrosse. If the lacrosse is better, why not be ok with t...

It's a minority of people and they were boo'ed.

Several MIAA schools have boarding options, no? St. Paul's School, McDonogh School, Boys' Latin, Gilman School, John Carroll, Loyola Blakefield, Mount Saint Joseph. Or maybe I'm wrong.

Final: BL vs. McD

BL moving on...

Watching semifinal game on YouTube. Saw Gilman earlier this season. They've improved...

I'm calling them derogatory posts. Others could use a different adjective. Either way, there are umpteen posts within our forum that do not speak kindly of a specific AD, coach, player, or otherwise. Over the years, we've received several e-mails from coaches and otherwise claiming the posts are lie...

Wow. So many good games tomorrow. https://www.ncaa.com/brackets/lacrosse-men/d3/2024
