Surprised to see Balsamo in the portal. He hit the sophomore slump, but I thought he was primed for a lot more meaningful minutes next year. A program will be lucky to grab him, he's a competitor. Yes, very interesting and surprising. Wonder what the story is? I texted a buddy and he said "rum...

A lot of old timers showing their saltiness lol. I hate ND as much as the next guy, but it's hard to say they aren't an all-time team. 16-0-1 this year (hockey record). Two 80-point scorers at attack, with the 3rd scoring 40+ goals. Best goalie in the country. Great close D and rope units. Solid fog...

I'll take Ossello and Foy's Tailgate over the Crease Dive with Doogs and Jordie.

Jordie isn't that bad, sometimes pretty funny. But Doogs is so annoying. Just the stereotypical, opinionated rich kid (with bad opinions).

Adelphi wins 12-9 after a late game surge by St A's. Adelphi led 10-4 after 3Qs. Was 11-9 with 3 minutes left, but Adelphi had too much of a lead. LR beat a tough Tampa team 15-14. Probably was the national championship. Great game, LR was down early and then it was a barnburner at the end. LR play...

Who does Ajax shut off? Pat? Chris? Whoever he covers will disappear. This is a GREAT championship. Lots of interesting things to think about. Maryland won in ‘22. ND won in ‘23. Who wins this year? Jared Bernhardt needs to make an appearance. Let’s go!!!!!! He wasn’t able to make any of them disap...

Is there a date that players in the portal HAVE to make their decision by? NCAA lists the First day as May 12th and the Last day as June 10th. Lots of movement should be happening in the next 2-3 weeks. I thought that June 10th was last day to enter the portal. The player still has to go through th...

Some interesting numbers from Lacrosse Reference, which has a rubric for computing the contribution towards an eventual goal (including actually scoring the goal), or preventing an eventual goal by the opponent, of every play. Here are the top-16 in expected goals per game: stat_tewy.jpg Shelly is ...

Interesting, very skilled finisher. He has I guess 2 years of eligibility (2021 COVID year and one more real year). Think he graduated Bowdoin. This would be his last year in 2025. Looks like your correct... Played in 2022, 2023, and 2024 at Bowdoin. 1 year left. Whoops, you are right, had a brain ...

Played in 2022, 2023, and 2024 at Bowdoin. 1 year left.

Michigan also picked up D3 Wesleyan transfer - DJ Dixon.

6'3 215 lbs lefty. Michigan native. Makes sense. Had 34Gs & 17A's this year. 146 points in 3 years. 2x All Nescac First teamer.

Love the Trader talk….. Could we pool our resources and NIL him some lax cash? lol Just can’t believe at his ability that he isn’t out there like Fazion (spelling?) for ND…. I doubt Faison plays if he is trying to get drafted in the NFL the following year, just like Trader now. Unfortunately I thin...

Maryland 2021. Same team that went undefeated and won it in 2022 minus the seniors that graduated in 2021. Ex/ Wisnauskas, Fairman, Shockey, Grill, and others but those are the top of my head. Wisnauskas won the Tewaaraton in '22. Fairman also played in '22. But it was a very different team without...

looks like Jon Torpey is the heir successor.....with the blessings of consultant- alums Starsia and Munro......seems like a winner.....Breschi extols him based on his 3 years as a captain at Ohio State........hope he can thrive at a location without the some 32 fountains that grace the High Point c...

Hearing Nate Senez from Limestone is getting some good looks. Mainly D1's though.

I think LR's senior class will be the difference maker. They were all freshman in 2021 and juniors in 2023. They know what it's like to lose it and they know what it's like to win it. With the latter being the preferred choice. Adelphi hasn't been to the National Championship since 2011. While LR ha...
