xlax, agree with your analysis. Dmac, i believe you are correct as well....life lessons are sometimes tough but those who learn to deal with adversity correctly will be those who succeed. Those who blame others and quit, well they will be working for the former group.

I think it also happened to the senior class the year before, looks like it went from 8 down to 3...unless I’m looking at the roster wrong.

Not a big deal, happens every year at most schools. Kids who haven’t played much in their careers are being told in the fall that they won’t get much playing time this year either. Kids have locked up their jobs and want to have fun their last year at school rather than putting in practice time and ...

It is surprising, maybe even shocking that W&M hasn’t been able to fill that spot. I know nothing other than an incredible school with good facilities, great location, full allotment of scholarships and have been competitive in the not too distant past. Are their issues with administration? Are ...

Interesting thought (at least to me!) -

How about dropping the draw and instead alternating possessions, could that potentially lead for at least a bit more parity - meaning closer games. I know there has been discussion at all levels of wlax about potentially changing up the draw rules.

like how Richmond has scheduled some really tough games this fall...they have some players, think the A10 is theirs to lose.

Captain obvious! I think you get the point.

It is funny and would add that programs 6-10 have no shot of winning natty.

Also, if I could add, we hear all the time “grow the game”! which would add parity. Issue is that there are literally only 2 websites/publications that cover women’s lax and it would be nice if they would focus on teams/players other than the top 4. Grow the game by covering ALL the conferences, whi...

I guess it depends on what your definition of "parity" is, IMO there are only 4 - 6 teams that realistically capable of winning net year, then you have the next tier of 10 or so teams that are competitive but have no chance of winning, and then the next tier filling out the top 30. I don't...

It’s like free agency in baseball, but player may have to sit a year if they transfer within the conference they are already in

agreed, and the transfer portal may have just made it worse.

Isn't anyone somewhat suspicious of 3 players of that caliber ALL transferring to BC? Doesn't that raise anyone's hackles just a bit? And why would a player be willing to sit a year? I'm not suspicious but am somewhat disappointed as the "rich get richer". We always hear "grow the ga...

Perhaps create a thread for Fall Ball schedules so we all don't have to search the team's websites!

Charlotte North is definitely sitting out a year; Don't know about the other two. That’s a huge sacrifice, to sit out a whole year and watch others compete in a sport one is obviously very passionate about. I wonder what was the greater motivator – to get out of Duke, or to get to BC? Can’t players...
