Has there been or would there be any consideration to allowing trades in this league with some oversight/approvals to avoid a Montreal Expos, Edmonton Oilers, La Clippers dirty sell off?

What you don’t enjoy chaos and anger? I was curious how much carnage and velocity of emotions it would shake out given the politics threads.

You wouldn’t have to worry about me, FFGjr might be ripping faces off on trades. But

Doesn't mirror NCAA Lacrosse. We try to mirror D1 Men's Lacrosse.

Right they just don’t use replay…

But understood. Can we create a transfer portal? Have code of conduct?
(Kidding).

There’s some rosters that look on paper stacked but I’m feeling pretty good bringing back Dobson, C Kav & Sam King as our core next year. (Not sure but possible Griffin King, Spencer Wirtheim and Poitras se relatively in teams we can use as well, not to mention McIntosh and Licata)

I was pleasantly surprised Cormier is returning now if Princeton will please start Saris who in two games had 8 pts in each i would be very pleasantly
surprised.

Last year Collison was listed at A but moved to MF. Simmons was a M then moved to attack where his utility was lost. Remind me to not draft the OSU D again.

[Matnum PI]

Just for context and expectations, this past season, the draft started on October 19. I plan to nail down the 2024 team coaches in September and then let's discuss the 2024 draft.

Sow how many weeks of smack talk is that? Jr will be at a lake summer camp for half of July without internet access so I will take up the mantle while he enjoys all the VERY SAFE and PROPER activities like I did at summer camp as a child.

In a perfect world, our 24 NCAA-Teams-that-Count, every season, would be ranked 1-24. But, for obvious reasons, this isn't realistic. These were where our 24 NCAA teams ranked in 2023. Three teams did not make the cut. Not bad.

1 nd

3 duke
4 psu
5 army
6 umd
7 gtown
8 jhu
9 yale
10 cornell
11 rutgers
12 pton
13 denver
14 syr
15 upenn
17 villanova
18 osu
19 loyola
20 unc
21 umass
24 harvard
32 brown
40 navy
46 towson

Based on how our 24 NCAA Teams have ranked since 2005, where 2023 has a weight of 1.0, 2022 has a weight of 0.9, 2021 has a weight of 0.8... and every year between 2005 and 2013 has a weight of 0.1, this is where our our 24 NCAA teams fell. One team did not make the cut. Again, not bad.

20 brown
21 tows
22 umass
23 harvard
26 navy

Bottomline, there's no real urgency to change our NCAA teams. And, if we did, I think it'd be based more on team schedules than team rankings. e.g. Towson's schedule isn't awful but we were semi-forced to include some games that were pretty weak. These are our 24 NCAA Teams ranked by Strength of Schedule. Three didn't make the cut.

1 Maryland
2 Notre Dame
3 Virginia
4 Penn State
5 Johns Hopkins
6 Ohio State
7 Penn
8 Duke
9 Yale
11 North Carolina
12 Rutgers
13 Georgetown
14 Princeton
15 Cornell
16 Harvard
17 Syracuse
18 Denver
19 Brown
20 Loyola
23 Villanova
24 UMass
29 Army
35 Towson
40 Navy

[Farfromgeneva]

Sure seems like Navy is a candidate for replacement. Closed decently but that defense was god awful. And we had some baaad defenses this year.

Any western teams close enough to swap navy for?

As of now, we need 2 new coaches for the 2024 season. One of these two coaches is... harrisoncoburn.

I considered grabbing Cole Herbert because I was skeptical about his college lacrosse career being over and, sure enough, he's back. Thankfully, because I didn't grab him, at Salisbury.
