By the end of the second Star Wars it was more interesting to discuss Landos Betrayal, Chewy, the Ewoks and whether Hans and Princess Leia would get it in as Brother and Sister than talking more about Darth Vader and the Death Star….molo wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 6:28 pm Who got on this thread and then said, “Fly this plane to Cuba”?

I really did like those 2016 Brown and UNC teams. Pontrello was a middie until that year, when he took over at X with Cloutier on the left and Goldstock, the tall New Englander, bringing the right high heat. The Heels, with the lefty FOGO Kelly that year, set the break up lefty.
Fun fact: Pat Kelly, the natural attackman who played middie that year, was van anomaly for a Calvert Hall Kelly. He was right handed, rare for that crew .

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: Virginia Lacrosse 2022
I’ll take your word for it, never having seen any of the Star Wars movies.
Re: Virginia Lacrosse 2022
Pretty tough to three-peat, but the Hoos look like they'll be talented enough.
Re: Virginia Lacrosse 2022
Agreed, I’d have them anywhere from 1 to 4 preseason in a group of Maryland and the top three of the ACC.

Re: Virginia Lacrosse 2022
All good players….You would have to evaluate Dwyer against other offensive players. Hard to argue that Ambler has a greater college career. Ambler had a better career than a lot of guys listed ahead of him but hard to say he had a better career than Mathies or Dwyer. Hard to argue that Bellistri had a “better” career. More team success, absolutely. Put Dwyer on that Brown team and they win the title.BigTom5 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 1:30 pmOff the top of my head: Class, Pontrello, Frocarro, Brown, Bellestri, Jack Kelly, Blaze, Telesco, Landis, Matt Dunn, Ambler… could probably find a handful more if did a deeper dive.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 1:17 pm
Again, which of those top 100 would you say way outperformed Dwyer and Duvnjak, that you'd rather have had on your team?
“I wish you would!”
Re: Virginia Lacrosse 2022
I’m convinced that the people talking about Dwyer never saw him play. He was an old school QB who made everyone around him better. Super quick and unselfish. Reminded me of Connor Gill from Virginia. Could score at will but always looked to draw a slide and dump inside for a layup. Terrific player. Definitely at the top of that recruiting class.
Duvnjak was awesome at Manhasset and Harvard. Didn’t stay healthy for four years but was definitely all American talent. Again, nobody saw him play to fairly evaluate him.

Re: Virginia Lacrosse 2022
I believe Patrick was a lefty, at least that's the attack position he played at Calvert Hall and on the same club team he and my son played for; never saw him play on the right side. That said, he had an excellent stick, so may have given the impression that he was as strong with the right hand.molo wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 6:28 pm Who got on this thread and then said, “Fly this plane to Cuba”?

Re: Virginia Lacrosse 2022
Correct on both players...watched them both play over a dozen times and would be household names if not at Harvard...Henpecked wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 10:41 pm I’m convinced that the people talking about Dwyer never saw him play.

Yeah 30% seems fair. Although that top 10 is brutal and this not a very star studded class.
Very interesting when you look at it by area. Long Island dominates the list and almost half were a bust. MD was next and 2/3rds were a bust. Mass and Conn had all busts. Upstate NY fared the best. Can’t believe only 1 Canadian on list and of course was a hit.

Re: Virginia Lacrosse 2022
This is the same list with their All-American status their senior year: 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team or Honorable Mention. Player's actual rankings aside, you get to name 100 incoming freshman and you pick 3 First Team AAs, 3 Second Team AAs, 5 Third Team AAs, and 8 Honorable Mentions. Keep in mind, there are 16 First Team AAs, 18 Second Team AAs, etc. There are a LOT of AAs. And, of the 100 listed, 19 make an AA team. I dunno...

Re: Virginia Lacrosse 2022
On an individual level I think the most interesting is Spencer Parks. Neither would seem to have performed to their ranking or a super high level, but not sure either could be called busts either.Matnum PI wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15, 2021 11:01 am This is the same list with their All-American status their senior year: 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team or Honorable Mention.

Parks had 79pts in two seasons (36 games) and was over 30% career, well over in 2016 when he had 48pts. But at #7 you'd expect AA even from a non "glory" program given Towson had a very fine season and made the quarters that year (blasted the 'ish out of Hobart in our play in game then beat Denver,lost by 1 to Loyola in QF game).
He had more pts than James Pannell, who was classified as a hit or boom I believe as a Sr.
