Maybe not related to this year recruiting, but NFHS (National Federation of HS) has published their annual Athlete Participation numbers for the recent 23/24 school year. Not great data supporting the fastest growing sport theory. There were 101,204 HS female lacrosse players, up only marginally co...

Coaching..people underrate how excellent coaching and development can make up for a talent gap. JMU is a perfect example. They don't land the best talent, but boy do they get every ounce out of their players. They have an identity, and a way they play, and they stick to it. Stonybrook is another si...

Rumor at the time was Billy Olin turned it down and it was 365k

Amazing how Penn State can’t attract big names recruits. Was looking good for a change last year but they went on a run and I think Missy bought herself another year. Looking over her recruit class this year. At the expense of starting this debate again, 1 4⭐️. Very popular, good football school, h...

Same as Max and Spidey.

St Bonnie's! Definitely not procrastinators. And impressive figuring out how to attach the pic. I think I only figured out how to add it as an attachment.

Was the men’s team but I can see this being an issue across all sports.

I am a little surprised that Coastal Carolina only has 2 commits so far. With making the tourney last year and building the new indoor practice facility, I would have thought Coastal would have been a very enticing draw. One step forward, one step back I guess. There’s quite a few mid and upper mid...

I am certainly not saying that the girls ranked are not great players and they are ....no doubt... and those 5 star players are great for sure!! Im just saying they missed a lot of players this year...and that the coaches aren't looking at Inside Lacrosse for their recruits... they already know who...

Not sure why so many people put stock into Star recruits. Many really good players are not rated. Anyone can pay inside lacrosse to review a video and rate them. Otherwise if a kid did not go to Best in Class or the IL events then they will not be rated. If we're going off of Inside Lacrosse rankin...

I've often been accused of being a contrarian on many issues so of course you can take or leave this perspective. Were you guys watching the same 2026 tournament circuit I was this summer? Because all the hype you are creating with these "five stars" definitely didn't always manifest itse...

Crazy how many top recruits UNC gets. The 2025 class was INSANELY stacked. They had something like 7 5 stars. Do I think Buffardi will play yes absolutely she is that good. When I am not sure. But what about everyone else? And I know its a great school and great program but most of these kids have ...

Huge get!! Think she would have been five-star if she played at a top club. Of all UNC 26 recruits, I think she has best chance to play as a freshman.

The rich keep getting richer. They do an amazing job with recruiting.

with the Dewald commitment, Florida is now at FIVE 5 star rated players. That's the most a non UNC school has had since Clemson last year and their best class ever on paper. Impressive. especially with me singing the downfall of the program last summer with the arrival of Florida state. The air mus...

Florida seems like the new hot spot. There are so many positives to going there, next year it is going to be a very attractive spot for 27s.The $ is definitely good. Who doesn’t want to live in Flordia? Also, that is a place where top recruits can go and know that they will get playing time. School...

:oops: That’s how you make a splash. Not grabbing a head coach of the 112th ranked team that no kid has ever heard of. And then getting a D2 coach from a school that no one ever heard of. Good job by Georgetown. I hope she does fantastic, and I expect she will after a few years. I'm going to come a...
