What psition did Buttermore play in HS? I would have guessed attack, but I don't know. An article from last year: Buttermore’s lacrosse education was crafted by hall of famer Frank Urso, his coach at Garnet Valley High School near Philadelphia. Buttermore was a two-time All-American in high school,...

With the 3rd attack spot up for debate assuming Rehfuss and Scanlan slotted. What about Buttermore? “Similar”skill set of a Ryan Brown who can let it go with either hand from inside 15, plethora of midfielders/attack men who can draw a slide. 20g on 50 shots taken, with “limited” minutes on the 2nd...

So what is the academic upgrade he wanted to get out of his transfer? This is not a knock on Cuse which is an excellent uni. In the event he now has a full ride, gets to wear 22, returns to proximity to the Rez. All strong motivations on their own. I was thinking more of the Thompsons when I voted ...

Any word on Berkman at attack next year? Kinda figured he lit it up against weak competition in HS when he scored all of those points. Curious to know how he did vs better teams? With the ubiquitous club teams, SU must have scouted/recruited him at summer tourneys and not high school games. Was hop...

Be interesting to see where Scanlan plays. I suspect at attack since they graduated Voigt and Solomon. If so , wonder who would be third attackman with him and Rehuss. There was some previous talk of dropping Dordevic down which is still a possibility. Be a nice mix with a finisher, distributor and...

Agreed, which is why I found it odd every bracket projection has them in but some of these indie guys projecting strictly off stats have SU out and laxbytes has them way out. Theres some huge disconnect here that one side is missing bigtime. As you mentioned seems bizarre for Desko to be lobbying p...

Not sure how Maryland is a lock... A W over Penn and a good RPI. Versus a win over Duke and a better RPI? The win over Penn plays in more because both Maryland and Cornell played Penn. Maryland did not play Duke. Agreed if your evaluating Maryland vs Cornell for a spot, I was looking at it from a S...

Versus a win over Duke and a better RPI?

9 Automatic Qualifiers: 1-UMBC (America East), 2-Georgetown (Big East), 3-Towson (CAA), 4-Penn/Yale winner (Ivy), 5-Marist (MAAC), who will play, most likely, 6-Robert Morris (Northeast) in the Play-In Game, 7- Army/Lehigh winner (Patriot), 8-Richmond (Southern), and 9-Penn State (B1G). 8 At-Larges...

If Cuse gets left out, prepare to hear a lot about the loss to #47 Colgate. It doesn't matter when the loss happens. All games are treated equally. I think Cornell gets left out. Not enough T20 wins compared to Cuse (8) and MD (8). Cuse and Maryland both have 5 top 20 wins. SU and Maryland both hav...

When Cornell played Syracuse, Syracuse was the better team. However, the committee analyzes the entire body of work. Syracuse's problem is that its strength of schedule isn't that impressive - the committee looks at the top 10 RPIs of a team's opponents. In that category, Cornell is ranked 3rd, Syr...

The key appears to be adding the RPI ranking to the Quality Win ranking plus half the strength of schedule ranking. The lower the number the better. At this point, after PSU defeated JHU, the numbers for the final 2 at large spots are: Cornell: 20.50 Notre Dame: 21.00 JHU: 24.50 Maryland: 24.50 Syr...

Here is a look ]www.laxbytes.com/ncaa.htm You decide! The SOS for Syracuse looks way off. SU was at 6 prior to the loss to UNC, seems improbable they would drop 9 spots Looks like Maryland's fell 2 spots from this morning to this afternoon. Lax Magazine has SUs SOS at 8. Yeah. They've got Maryland'...

Only thing I'd note is that CollegeCrosse has JHU as the last team and Cornell in above them. This could be important depending on whether there is a bid-thief. We all agree until there is a need to pick between JHU/Cornell/Towson it would seem. They're in the same boat that I am of currently havin...

Should clarify that if there is absolute chaos in the conf tournaments I could see a scenario where SU is left out but I would think at this point they have the advantage over most if not all the bubble teams. From my actual bracketology post a few pages back: "I currently have 9 teams (6 in t...
