Not sure why EH was every hyped like she was. Seemed kind of strange to elevate someone to the #1 recruit who didn't play lacrosse her last 2 years of high school(by no fault of her own). But, it's not like she was ranked as the #1 recruit earlier in her HS career. Don't get me wrong, she's a good player but everyone at BC is a good player. She also played on a club team that didn't play in a lot of the major events at the time. I think Mass Elite only played in one tournament a summer, G8, where they competed against M&D, YJ, Skywalkers, Heros, etc. Not sure if that's changed but that's how it was for the 2021 class. Again, if you aren't playing against top competition week in and week out it's hard to get a gauge on how the player's game will translate to the next level. It's hard enough to do so when they are playing top competition.

Love this post--especially the last paragraph.timber18888 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 17, 2023 12:02 pm I agree with the general consensus about Humphrey—she showed great potential at the Northwestern game but it is way too early to be saying she'll win the Tewarraton or that she'll be the best player in the world after a few years like some are predicting.
Also worth noting that CH was being coached by KAH at that game, and KAH will probably use her knowledge of CH against UNC when they play this season.

I will just add as to CW that she had an excellent U19 tournament where she was one of the younger players on the team which included Izzy Scane, Kasey Choma, Maddie Jenner, and other older kids many of whom have had very good college careers. To my eyes, CW was a stronger and more effective player than Belle Smith on the U19 team. That’s not to criticize Smith. I think she is a marvelous player who is having a fabulous career at Boston College and has probably become a stronger college player than CW.

I encourage everyone to rewatch her at the all America game. It was the single worst and most selfish performance in the history of the event. She was slightly more efficient at the fall classic, but she was still under 50% there and further proved her propensity to shoot constantly.

Saw CH play live again this weekend (3rd time, maybe). Impressive, for sure. She will present game planning challenges—both playing with and against her. Hype and pressure continue piling on this young woman. I hope she keeps having fun (not too much in the ACC, though).
One detail you all know but bears repeating when evaluating performances at the Fall Classic--the games were 10 v 10 international rules.

I encourage everyone to rewatch her at the all America game. It was the single worst and most selfish performance in the history of the event. Huh? I wonder how many of these games you've seen other than this year's. I'll bet not many (if any). I have seen the large majority of the UA senior games, either in person or on TV. While it is a great event, bringing together many of the nation's top seniors, it is almost always a free-for-all all star game with offensive players dominating and little defense played. Your statement, to be kind, is absolutely untrue. Yes, she had the ball a lot in the game and did take a lot of shots, but the "single worst and most selfish performance in the history of the event"? Hardly. She was slightly more efficient at the fall classic, but she was still under 50% there and further proved her propensity to shoot constantly. "Slightly more efficient"? Five and one against the defending national champions (with Laliberty in goal the entire game). Pretty darn good performance against top (tough) college competition. I think she proved she belongs.Her turnover numbers are also extremely concerning and were severely underreported at Darien. And how many of her HS games did you see or are you parroting info someone (we can guess who) told you? Having seen a number of her HS games, I can say with certainty that she is not a turnover machine. Far from it. She has an excellent stick, in fact. She played for one of the toughest HS coaches ever. If she had "extremely concerning" turnover numbers, she'd have been benched regardless of her other abilities or at least been given one of LL's infamous sideline "chats." Why don't you post a video of one of her HS games where she had a lot of turnovers. Lots of her games are available online. I'll save you time. You won't be able to find one. Oh, and BTW, one TO against Northwestern.

Uh, you do know that Chloe is a cutter/finisher who will fit in just fine with feeders. Yes, it is an open question as to how UNC will work the PT between CW, Casey, and AH, but CH will definitely play. Obviously, I realize that the offense and the team as a whole is still incredibly talented, and they’ll still be among the best teams in the country, but I think they definitely won’t be the scoring machine that they look like on paper, and Chloe will certainly not be this immediate savior that some may be expecting her to be.

Well clearly you are be snarky but I’ll answer your question regardless. And yeah actually North’s shooting numbers annoyed me at times. You can look at my posting history here on this forum and I’ve never pumped up North’s game like others on here have. Sam Apuzzo, in my opinion, is the greatest player in the history of the Eagles’ program.
As far as Humphrey goes, people on here are accusing me of just being a hater or being nervous about the impact she’ll have on UNC’s offense. As I said in my original post, I completely agree that she has a ton of talent and that she’ll likely go on to score a ton of goals throughout her collegiate career. I standby my point that it’s fair to question how efficient she’ll be at the next level. The few examples we have of her playing against tougher competition already show signs of this. I encourage everyone to rewatch her at the all America game. It was the single worst and most selfish performance in the history of the event. Huh? I wonder how many of these games you've seen other than this year's. I'll bet not many (if any). I have seen the large majority of the UA senior games, either in person or on TV. While it is a great event, bringing together many of the nation's top seniors, it is almost always a free-for-all all star game with offensive players dominating and little defense played. Your statement, to be kind, is absolutely untrue. Yes, she had the ball a lot in the game and did take a lot of shots, but the "single worst and most selfish performance in the history of the event"? Hardly. She was slightly more efficient at the fall classic, but she was still under 50% there and further proved her propensity to shoot constantly. "Slightly more efficient"? Five and one against the defending national champions (with Laliberty in goal the entire game). Pretty darn good performance against top (tough) college competition. I think she proved she belongs.Her turnover numbers are also extremely concerning and were severely underreported at Darien. And how many of her HS games did you see or are you parroting info someone (we can guess who) told you? Having seen a number of her HS games, I can say with certainty that she is not a turnover machine. Far from it. She has an excellent stick, in fact. She played for one of the toughest HS coaches ever. If she had "extremely concerning" turnover numbers, she'd have been benched regardless of her other abilities or at least been given one of LL's infamous sideline "chats." Why don't you post a video of one of her HS games where she had a lot of turnovers. Lots of her games are available online. I'll save you time. You won't be able to find one. Oh, and BTW, one TO against Northwestern.
Additionally, nobody is talking about her fit within the current makeup of UNC’s offense. Wurzburger, Casey, and her sister Ashley Humphrey are all righty attackers who thrive with the ball in their sticks as facilitators. This works in direct contrast of Chloe’s game, as she is is one of the most ball dominant players I’ve ever watched at the high school level. Their offense is completely lacking the cutters/finishers that you need to excel at the highest level with exceptions for maybe Marissa White and a couple of their midfielders. Uh, you do know that Chloe is a cutter/finisher who will fit in just fine with feeders. Yes, it is an open question as to how UNC will work the PT between CW, Casey, and AH, but CH will definitely play. Obviously, I realize that the offense and the team as a whole is still incredibly talented, and they’ll still be among the best teams in the country, but I think they definitely won’t be the scoring machine that they look like on paper, and Chloe will certainly not be this immediate savior that some may be expecting her to be.

Re: Fall Lacrosse Schedules
Clemson's OOC comparison
'24 - Davidson, Coastal Carolina, Mercer, Queens, East Carolina, Furman, Wofford
'23 - Winthrop, Gardner-Webb, Longwood, Campbell, Radford, Furman, Wofford
What says the panel--easier, tougher or about the same as last year?
Re: Fall Lacrosse Schedules
I say slightly tougher but still weak. Coastal , Queens and especially Mercer is a step up. ECU undetermined with new coach. Libertys out of conference schedule is top shelf.OuttaNowhereWregget wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 11:25 amClemson's OOC comparison

Re: Fall Lacrosse Schedules
Agreed, a bit tougher, but I see the only pick 'em game is Mercer (and I'm not even sure Mercer is gaining/lost in terms of roster). Don't think they'll have any trouble with anyone elseRelax77 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 11:30 amI say slightly tougher but still weak. Coastal , Queens and especially Mercer is a step up.
