LaxPower Back-Up Stick

The men's sticks have reached such a perverted level that they have somewhat ruined the game for me. Yes, I still watch but all too often I just shake my head and say that never should have happened. Can't remember which game it was but in one of them the ball carrier was getting banged around by t...

This is a bit off-topic, but I don't know where else to mention alumni in the pros. From Inside Lacrosse : [Jeff] Teat finished the weekend with 18 points, involved in half of New York’s 36 goals. His three goals and four assists against the Whips came after that initial 6-0 outburst where four goal...

If stick design returned to Y shape w/ walls around 2.5", we might not see substantial change in average scores or gb's. But we probably would see more and better cradling. And while we're talking about gb's, one thing I dislike about today's game is how common raking has become. When I played,...

I know that this is a little 2024 (vs. looking ahead to 2025), but, on the other hand, I think this year's results should drive off-season training and, hopefully, lead to a hugely successful 2025 season! (See Notre Dame 2023 and 2024 after a disappointing 2022.) Inside Lacrosse final media poll: h...

Dartmouth's Men's basketball is already unionized.

The big question for next season will be defense. Will the combination of 1) key players returning to health, 2) one more year of experience and development for returning players, 3) incoming players and 4) coaching adjustments be enough to bump the Cornell defense from mediocre (according to the s...

This is from the Cornell 2024 thread: If any Cornell fans watched the defacto NC game between Lawrenceville and Brunswick, you have to be foaming at the mouth to see Piacentini in the cage as Shoellkpof field. The best player for 2 years on back to back NC teams. I'll be shocked if he isnt a monster...

Looking at the 2024 roster , I count 23 Seniors, Fifth-years, and (even) Sixth-years. I know Kirst (a Senior) said he'll be back next year and Blake (Duke) & Wirtheim (UNC) are transferring elsewhere. But what about the remaining 20 >=Seniors? Who else among the other 20 >=Seniors will be back i...

Back to page 1-- Rowyn Nurry, A. Was originally a 24, doing a pg year coming 2025. Does it inside and outside, right and left hand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8PcnMAYKj4 NASTY. He'll be a player. Very solid 2025 class. I also really like 2025 Mid- Grady Taylor out of NH. https://www.youtube.c...

As a final note, and as I mentioned in passing, I've often wondered if Cornell's better performance in the regular season vs the ILT is partially due to the culture of the school. Cornell, generally, focuses on a highly rigorous daily routine, both in the classroom and on the field. Also, from soci...

Even more than what people have said, I think the issue comes down to a few basic, not necessarily or completely mutually consistent, principles: Principle 1: In any given year there are a number of teams with a reasonable chance to win the NC. Ideally, what % of them should be in the tournament? (I...

Well, in a similar vein, I know that several coaches deliberately schedule games against tough opponents with little time between games. If the semifinals are on 5/25 & the finals on 5/27, any team looking for a NC should get used to playing tough games 2-days apart. Game 1 of the ILT was played...

Man a quant like you I would’ve expected “risk averse” from. You’re hanging out in my hood if you’re going to start using colorful and incendiary normative comments. I welcome it! https://youtu.be/oG6fayQBm9w?si=sjd0D4I802nSzDjK LOL, I didn't think pointing out that university administrators are ri...

From the NE West 1 high school thread: 3 on trinity Pawling is also a killer. Had about 8 goals. Tp with a big win over Avon also last week. That’s Cornell 25 mid recruit, Luke Robinson. He will probably be the fastest kid on the team. He just runs by defenders even though they know he wants to go ...

Can someone explain why the ACC is not an AQ league? You need 6 teams to have an AQ. ACC has 5. I'd also point out how the Ivies are hurt by having 7 teams, even if it gives them an AQ. This year the 4 teams in the ILT (Cornell, Yale, Princeton, Penn) were strong enough to stand their ground in any...
