Re: Georgetown 2022
If my memory is correct G-Town and a few other schools have had top rank classes before and it didn't result in championships. I am not saying this team with its future commits won't do well, I am trying to figure out how well of an indicator is the present lacrosse ranking system on future team success . Anyone have data on this?

Re: Georgetown 2022
Well documented when they got this heralded #1 class including Broncaccio and while GTown Prep has had many great players it felt like they were getting smitten with themselves by late 2000s. Best player in that era overall IMO was Nick Mirabito from Chenango Forks but those high ranked classes were different than the Brodie Merrill and Walid Hajj types that Urick built the program on it seemed to me.Old&InTheWay wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 5:33 am If my memory is correct G-Town and a few other schools have had top rank classes before and it didn't result in championships.

So yes it’s a risk to lean on rankings and theres always 1-2 schools that have this momentum and get highly rated kids who don’t produce, at least as a team, at the higher levels. Think Michigan was one most of this last decade. UNC many years after Breschi got there and I think it’s happened to ND as well. Common theme in all sports to get access to some of the top HS kids after building success on the backs of more grinders and workers who maybe haven’t been given all the advantages and then miscalculate on who they take. Does this mean it’ll happen to GTown again? Who knows but it’s fair to question the rankings. Especially when the last 2yrs or so are influences by less travel and less games to see.
Now I love those cowboys, I love their gold
Love my uncle, God rest his soul
Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so well, that I grabbed that gold
I left his dead ass there by the side of the road, yeah

Re: Georgetown 2022
Here you open with Penn
Re: Georgetown 2022
Believe we open with Hopkins, then Penn and ND to start. Think we are Penn’s first game. Might be wrong but think that is the case.
Re: Georgetown 2022
We're opening with Towson on 2/11, so if true then this game is probably 2/19. Slightly terrified of the Hoyas but looking forward to adding another top team to the schedule.

But if you understood Broome Co and the surrounding areas wealthy is relative. There’s nothing like Chevy Chase, Bethesda, Oyster Bay or the Hamptons within 100mi of that area. Homes values are flat over the last 25yrs and most school districts have enough kids on free and reduced lunches to qualify as CRA assessment areas.

Understood, so while still wealthy, nothing like what you see on LI and in Northern NJ (Alpine NJ)

Re: Georgetown 2022
Unfortunately don’t know the dates but believe that’s the opening 3 games. As mentioned above Hopkins Georgetown may be 2/19.

When did the economic downfall in that area start?

Re: Georgetown 2022
Seems like 80s but probably late 60s early 70s. Not a far cry from what you see in Out of the Furnace. Scranton an hour due south on I81 about the same as is Syracuse 1hr north up 81

Re: Georgetown 2022
Interesting, Out of the Furnace was a great movie. I'd imagine there are some real unsavory types just like Woody's take on Harlan DeGroat. Real frightening guy. Great movie. Thanks for the enlightenment didn't realize it's been that long of a downturn.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 5:50 pm Seems like 80s but probably late 60s early 70s.

With a late addition to their ‘22 class as @WestCoastStarz faceoff midfielder Wilson Van Buren (Blessed Trinity Catholic, Ga.) flips from Dartmouth to the Hoyas.
