OK, here we go!
Any '23 seniors returning?
The online transfer portal lists show no Brown players except '23 seniors listed so far. Don't see that Bruno picked up any incoming yet. Any rumors? This is a no-judgement zone
Any assistant coach or volunteer asst changes? Does Brown currently have, or any news they plan to have, the now-legal 3rd paid assistant?

Any changes in incoming frosh? Lacrosse bucket website seems pretty accurate, been stable for a while.

Who's in charge of gameday weather? They should be sacked immediately.

I am still interested to see if Gunty will take 5th year and where —I have heard that Syracuse is one of the teams making a push for him but that there are multiple teams with interest.

I know '23 wasn't a successful year for the team, but Gunty should have been an HMAA at least.

Have heard that Gunty is done with lacrosse and looking to start his career.

If that is so, congratulations to Matt Gunty on a great year and a fine career.

Had the most heart on this season’s team by far….

He almost singlehandedly willed Brown to victory against Harvard (a game that was one of the most compelling of the Ivy season). Looked like he was fighting through injury as well.

Another Brown '23 alum, D. McLane, is being touted by USA Lacrosse Magazine as "the prize of the portal": https://www.usalaxmagazine.com/fuel/dia ... day-may-31

Nice athletic dept overview/hype video included on the link.

Any thoughts on incoming freshmen from those who follow that?

Jeremy Hopsicker from ND is a great pickup. Big lefty attackman.

Brown has done well with identifying underclass transfers who can make a long-term impact -- he could be this season's Corsi. Nice addition for Bruno.

He was a mid in HS. 6'3" 195 per ND page. Depends on where Corsi & AMac end up, as they're both A/Ms I think.
Daly has liked big middies.

That's great news for Brown State!

Per the transfer portal page here at fanlax Griffin King to Maryland. Best wishes!

Can't be. The intertubes is never wrong! We are aware of all internet traditions.

From Ivy League thread:

Brown gets another Transfer. "@TyXanders: Former @DrexelMLax midfielder Ben Scandone is set to transfer to @BrownU_MLAX, he tells @Inside_Lacrosse. Scandone registered 5G/8A as a freshman in 2023 and joins former @NDlacrosse lefty Jeremy Hopsicker as incoming transfers for the Bears."

Does anyone know when the Alumni game is this fall?

USAlaxmag way wayyyyyyy early poll has Bruno outside the top 25.
Fortunately at Brown the student/athletes can spell INCENTIVE. Without spellcheck.

I think Brown has some really interesting transfers coming in, as well as a terrific recruiting class. They've got a top talent in goal and as a team they always seem to do better when discounted. What do Bruno fans think will be the situation at FOGO? I'm just an in-league observer, not fully familiar with Brown's pipeline, but that would seem like a question to be answered going into 2024?
