One thing i've come to realize is that it seems like when it comes to broadcasting, alot of the commentators for D2 and D3 schools seem more knowledgeable and enthusiastic about lacrosse compared to D1 schools. These schools are smaller and have limited budgets and their broadcast production and qua...

You can transition from midfield to defense with ease and be a serviceable to good defender if you're a good athlete. However, transitioning from midfield and becoming a great to elite defender is a bit tougher. It takes 100% buy in and commitment from both player and coach. If you're a great athlet...

Michigan has better raw talent than JHU. But like others have mentioned, JHU is better coached and play well as a unit. Michigan still needs to mature a bit. They've established a nice little recruiting pipeline in the state of colorado which is becoming a lax hotbed. But right now JHU

5 if the movers include UNC, as has been rumored.

UNC and Duke are guaranteed to be a packaged deal so 6

What happens now for 2025’s who haven’t committed? Is playing d1 out of the picture with most schools being full. There are still plenty of D1 spots available for '25's. There are multiple 24's that have committed in the last couple of weeks. Now, they may not be top 20 schools but you will see a l...

The Petro hire might end up being more significant than even anticipated.. Seems like there is new life into the program and Merril's committment is a big one.

The dust has settled in regards to major commitments. More information is starting to come out. and i have to say..my expectations for Clemson as program has changed. Initially i was thinking in 3-4 years, maybe they'll be a perennial top 25 team. Scratch that. I think they may be a legit final four...

I'm torn on Clemson and i've been going back and forth. They lost lot from last year's OK team and they surpassed expectations. They will be very young and with alot unproven players but they have some real talent. I'm gonna bank on the talent and i think Kwolek is an excellent coach. They'll finish...

They are being really quiet about the coaching search so word isn't really getting around. My suspicion is that they already have someone and will announce it close to the new year. It is a very attractive job

For all that Levy has accomplished, the way some people talk about her on this board is straight up disrespectful. You'd think she was the head coach of Stanford or Duke. Not even Cathy Reese, who is legitimately struggling right now as a coach gets criticized as much. She's 3rd in the coaching Mt. ...

Maybe check out Levy's early success at UNC. NCAA semi's in second and third year of existince. High level of achievement and success right from jump--agreed. But 18 years till her first national title is noteworthy. You're just casually going to ignore the fact that NW and MD had dynasties during ...

... I think the list is fairly long. Have to also ìnclude Spallina, AW, JMU coach, like what I see from VT coach. Easy to win when you have the best athletes on the field in every single game you play. In my opinion Levy has probably never been the best coach on her staff with Barnes and Dowd proba...

Isn't Ashley Humphrey transferring to UNC in the spring? https://www.instagram.com/p/CxGyuoCxCyy/ Hope she changes her mind and goes to a non-ACC school. Are you upset that she’s going to UNC Larry? We know that you have issues with UNC. As time has passed, I've come around to agreeing with Larry o...

Hope she changes her mind and goes to a non-ACC school.

Her mind was made up pretty much since the end of last year. She wants to play with her little sister so that's not happening

i know it's been known for awhile but Ashley Humphrey to UNC is official per her IG.

"Closer to the game" is a non-factor in the seemingly inexorable (am thinkin' you'll like that one, Sc) march to "grow the game". Sacrificing three-quarters of the game is just collateral damage in the grand scheme of things. I get why kids would like playing sixes and if ultima...

Brooklyn Walker Welch is indeed canadian. Canada has alot of talent in the pipeline and will be a dangerous team in 5 years. As for players like McCool, Ohmiller, Auppozo, etc. I think it's very possible for them to still be elite players by then. This is the olympics, it's a huge deal for these pla...

First of all, i hope team USA doesn't send a college heavy team like the U20s while the rest of the world fields their best players. Although alot of those players will be all Americans for their respective schools, they won't be the best that USA has to offer. The way the sport is growing internati...

Chloe Humphrey absolutely destroyed defending national champs NW in the exhibition game for team USA. She had 6 points. 5 goals and an assist and nearly snapped a defender's ankle clean on one of her goals. She's been on a college campus for 2 months.. I've been saying this girl is a generation tale...

A little over a month after September 1st, most of the top girls have committed. Coaches will now be trying to fill out their rosters meaning recruiting is just beginning for about 90% of girls will play lacrosse at some level in college. Plenty of hidden gems still out there and some keen eyed coac...
