Do the kids who transfer from 4yr colleges ever go back to those schools and play to your or anyone’s knowledge?

I've been around JuCo lax a while, and I've never seen a return trip to the original 4-year school. The odds are it's happened somewhere, sometime. You just don't see is a lot. These days you see more direct admits from h/s, rather than college salvage jobs.

Much more often you'll see kids come out of h/s and need more seasoning or maturing. Kids who might be D1 priority walk-ons with something left to prove athletically or academically are occasionally "encouraged" to attend a local CC. The goal is to show they can cut it academically or athletically, gaining admittance, as a transfer student. This is often an easier path for kids who are late bloomers or didnt perform particularly well academically early in their hs career.

Also seeing 2 new trends in juco- kids from non-traditional hotbeds using JUCO as an opportunity to get seen and compete on the east coast and also kids who simply don't want to pay $100K for their first 2 years of college.

Different times, but all good for JUCO lax.

Looking at these early-season scores, Nassau, Harford, OCC, Essex, Genesee, and Howard all appear to have some great talent and legitimate championship goals. And there are a few others we haven't seen from yet, including Monroe or Suffolk.

These are this weekend’s Best National Tournament Games in order:

1 Howard (MD) #2 vs #3 CCBC Essex 05/14/2022
2 Nassau #5 vs #1 Harford 05/14/2022

Any way to tell where these kids might be playing? I know one went to Salisbury and left.

This FR, Elijah-Brown, at OCC from the Hill…what’s it going to get them into some sweet Purple and Orange in Geneva? Ive got a few Shekels I could throw into some NIL adjacent situation for him.
