Any scuttlebutt on LaSalla?

Agreed, pretty silly statement, or worse, trolling.blue angels wrote:What story?

I thought Coach Tiffany and his assistants were popular with the team; at least as compared with the two Starsias.
I agree with HooDat's description of everything we've heard coming out of the program about the coaches and "respect".

Geez Tiffany why not just include your resume also.
Re: VIRGINIA Lacrosse
Delbarton lost to Somerville and St.Anthony's in Football, making them 0-2. Delbarton was once a feeder school for Princeton and Duke lacrosse.dense wrote:Delbarton is far from a NJ powerhouse in football, they are however considered a top program in lacrosse and usually ranked in the top 20 nationally, many of their lax kids tend to wind up at Villanova.wahoomurf wrote:I was asked about my impressions of recruit Dan Parker of St.Anthony's H.S. on Long Island.

Good info. I don’t know the extent of Conrad’s injuries but a big question is whether he is even practicing yet?

Delbarton is a lot of things but not a powerhouse in football. Now, if he had that kind of success v St. Joe's, Don Bosco, Bergen Catholic, different story.

Re: VIRGINIA Lacrosse
IL ranked Lasalla as their 8th best FOGO. That seems like he is being undervalued for his rep on Long Island. Regardless the whole Virginia class is ridiculous on paper, and especially at midfield.wahoomurf wrote:I was asked about my impressions of recruit Dan Parker of St.Anthony's H.S. on Long Island.

Re: VIRGINIA Lacrosse
HooDat: I just edited your opening post to add this Virginia Lacrosse > 2019 Virginia Lacrosse at the top of the page. In coming years, we'll do it differently but, for now, I just wanted to see what it looked like at the top of the page and... it should be at the top of the page. I hope this is OK.
HooDat and HowieT3: Don't panic when you see these UVA Webpages. I'm creating a template of sorts and you were the first two avatars in the 2019 UVA thread so you drew the short straws. You've committed to nothing. And, considering it's September, I'm guessing you won't be barraged with PMs and e-mails saying, Where's the UVA 2019 schedule?! etc. Like above, I hope this is OK.

Sooooo, is Lars gonna pull any 2020 recruits or what? I thought this "big wait" and fast-paced O was supposed to pay off.

Calm down, fellers. I'm one of the good guys--- jut surprised at zero new recruits thus far.

I suspect this is an "announced" matter, not that Lars doesn't have a bunch of recruits lined up. My hunch would be that there are some kids who are listed elsewhere (from the ER process) that will end up at UVA.
It'll certainly be interesting how the 20 and 21 classes shape up. I was just talking to a heavyweight JHU supporter and, in his well-informed opinion, UVA's '18 and '19 classes are the top 2 combined nationally. I tend to be skeptical about such ratings as so much can be impacted by injuries and maturity bursts. But better to be landing well-regarded players than not!
BTW, I suggest you add a '52 and a '70 to your tagline of UVA men's national championship lacrosse seasons...

Yes. And when I saw 3 or 4 of the 2020 early (pre-new rules) commits who recently changed their commitments to Harvard, I immediately thought that Lars was probably also hot on their trail. As I heard another top D1 head coach say recently "if a kid can get into Harvard, he should go to Harvard." Can't disagree with that. I'd expect we will have 7-8 excellent 2020s by Thanksgiving.MDlaxfan76 wrote:I suspect this is an "announced" matter, not that Lars doesn't have a bunch of recruits lined up.

Re: VIRGINIA Lacrosse
The Penn State scrimmage on October 7th will be a really good test on where Virginia is in the Fall. Some of their fans on their thread think this will be their best team ever and they expect to challenge for the Big 10 regular season title, Big 10 Tournament title and go past quarters in the tourney. Their expectations sound fairly similar to the ACC in ours except for this being our best team ever.

I received this a few minutes ago. Will was an amazing leader and a terrific young man. Hope you will share this with as many folks as you can. A great event for an important cause.
