LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Yes and high school recruits definitely stopped going to Syracuse as a result It is not that simple. I was given a stat that there has been a significant drop in enrollment of 40% as one reason NY is seeing fewer elite players coming out. Second Cuse for some reason was not recruiting lax legacies;...

Have to point out the glaring elephant in the room. Why has the school not named Matt Brown the next Head Men's lacrosse coach of the University of Denver? As a new AD I understand wanting to make a splash and do you due diligence, but do it already. You can't tell me that anyone in the division on...

I thought this was a debate on whether anyone gets 22
this year.

Spallina is #22 this year - hopefully he has a great season!!

IL recently came out with a list of additional 3 and 4 star players. Seems to be more fodder for the hype cannon imo. What could be an interesting idea for IL is to evaluate how their starred players improve beyond their sophomore years. I don't recall seeing players being re-evaluated after 10th g...

Schedules are mostly made in advance Yes, and for whatever reason, we always have fans who want to make hay about them, and invent "reasons" why teams are added or dropped. In the conference era, filling your OOC schedule ain't easy. It could be as simple as they didn't have an open date ...

Lacrosse Bucket lists this gentleman as a '24 Hobart commit: https://www.ncsasports.org/mens-lacrosse-recruiting/washington/seattle/seattle-preparatory-school/rees-chandler Another Blue Star club player. He's a real good player. Son has played with him at Blue Star. Rees is graduating in 2023, and ...

I think Byrnes graduated.

Any word on how the scrimmage(s) went this weekend?

Word from the yard is that Coach Amplo has cut (7-9) recruited players (Direct and NAPS) from this years team. 1st-3rd Class, No Plebes. Interesting development Not surprising.....it's a packed house. The current 3rd class had 21 recruits, 1st class has far fewer (12), of which I see roughly 1-2, u...

Here is the watchlist for the classes of 23-25 for the "All-America Lacrosse Tournament" by Corrigan Sports. https://www.allamericalacrosse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/All-America-Watch-List_BOYS-1.pdf Strange list when it comes to the area with which I'm familiar (MA & ISL). No di...

https://www.ctinsider.com/gametimect/boys-lacrosse/article/FCIAC-boys-lacrosse-moves-to-competitively-17453861.php Big news for the FCIAC. Definitely better for competitive balance, and it opens up 3 extra non-league games for the tier 1 teams. It is good for everyone. I assume there is room to mov...

Well that seems pretty petty. Ty Xanders' list should drop very soon which will provide more perspective. Though you start to wonder if the IL lists (both team and player rankings) start to give more love to those who frequent IL events. Is it marketing, bias, laziness, or human nature? Yes. It's n...

The 2023 recruiting class at Dartmouth has 7 players list thus far. What is Dartmouth (and all of the other schools with tiny classes) doing to fill out the group? is 7 fine or are they looking to flip kids from other school or find uncommitted players?

At least 2025. I have heard a huge upswing in post grad applications for private schools or re-class kids trying to get in now. JUCOs are heavily recruiting kids in the portal too leaving no room for the high school kid too. I didn’t like the decision in 2020 and I like it less now. +1 Three of my ...

Damn! ‘23 Class is already very thin. Long Island kids can’t seem to hang! Losing recruits to PSU seems really tough. I know Md has been revisiting other committed players with no luck. I wonder if Maryland's use of the transfer portal is hurting recruiting. Probably not, but maybe. MD -> PSU seems...

My question is what happens to the guys who enter the portal and don’t get offers elsewhere? Are they welcomed back at their previous school? I see freshmen entering the portal. Obviously they are unhappy where they are. Let’s assume they don’t get offered a spot somewhere else. Is the coach really...

I'd be very surprised to see Marcus take over. That program has has massive turnover of players every year. I would imagine that the University is concerned about the staff in general. Why would they replace Holman with someone who might be part of the problem? I like Marcus, Brian and Will Manny. ...
