NESCAC

[SouthieLax]

it sounds like laxdad's kid got rejected from a nescac school. maybe that's why he thinks poorly of the conference. i'm sure he's doing great at kean.

Lol...I can see how it looks that way. Listen, I had a flight delay yesterday, 5 hours. and was bored to crap. Some guy was wondering why a 5'7 160# grad transfer from a NESCAC to Fairfield U, barely played...duh. So I poked the bear, NESCAC daddies went berserk. and here we are.

That was fun...Happy Holidays everyone!

Of all the nonsense written throughout this “debate”, Chlastawa continuing to catch strays has been the most bizarre. It’s simply false. He started at Fairfield and was their second leading scorer. He was also recovering from a serious injury (broken leg). Why bash him? I know Deeppocket brought it up first, but very odd.

Who's bashing him? He was a great D-3 player. But, he went from being a NESCAC all-time great, to a 26pt scorer on a 2-9 team. The jump to D-1 is harder then most NESCACians want to admit. Even if he was healthy, he's not hanging those #'s in D-1. The "barely played" comment was me parroting an earlier post, should have done my homework. D3 is great, loaded with great D3 players. But the gap between the 2 divisions is cavernous.

And from that same era as Chlastawa:

Max Walbaum:
Tufts- 34 games, 129 pts
Jacksonville, 30 games, 106 pts (All Conference, 2 year captain)

Mike McCormack:
Middlebury- 3 seasons, 58 pts
Vermont- 2 seasons, 95 pts (All Conference, All New England)


What’s your spin on their adjustment?

[Can Opener]

Don’t discount the possibility that laxdad is merely perpetuating a long-standing bias against those from western Poland. The villagers of Chlastawa are looked down upon by all the smarty-pants residents of Warsaw and Kraków. So what if those elitists can count past 10 with their shoes on? They wouldn’t last 5 minutes in a potassium mining skills competition with the proud people of Chlastawa!!!

Come on really, 2 players? As I said, there’s always exceptions. But 2 guys out of the 500 kids per year that play NESCAC ball isn’t a great example. And, these 2 probably should/could have played D1 out of HS. Both huge, D1 skills.

You nailed it

Definitions for me:
Low D1: NJIY, Hampton, Lowell, Canisius, Queens, Wagner, Cleveland St, Detroit Mercy, Lindenwood (RIP), Bonnys, LIU, VMI, St Johns, Sacred Heart
(leaving out HCross, Dartmouth, Bucknell, Colgate, Lafayette because even though historically bad, these are the teams that compete with the below D3s for recruits and I dont think they would do as well against these teams, except maybe HC)
High D3 academic / lax: top 7 NESCAC
Mid-High D3 academic + Lax: Dickinson, Gettysburg, top 3 Liberty, Stevens, Denison, Kenyon, Swat, W&L
High D3 Lax: CNU, Salisbury, York

Im going to go out on a limb and say the gap between low D1 and high D3 is much more slim than high D3 and low d3. I think any of the NESCAC top players would do very well on those Low D1 teams listed above. They chose not to go there likely for academic reasons. IF the high D3 teams + Salisbury/CNU and some of the LIberty teams were to play the low D1 teams straight up, I think it would be 50/50 and I dont think they would get "crushed" or "destroyed" as was previously pointed out

I think 'smoovas' earlier point about recruitment is most salient. At least here in the Northeast, the pecking order of recruitment is high D1, mid D1 / High D3, low D1 / high D2 / mid D3 and then everyone else We routinely see clubs and prep schools post their commits and the low D1s are often very late. My own person experience had my son still getting D1 reach outs well into his Senior year. Now does earlier recruitment necessarily translate into better players? Not necessarily but it is a general rule of thumb that probably holds true. But the point that someone said that the low D1 programs would be salivating to have some of the high D3 programs is true. The reality is players at those mid-high D3 colleges would rather go to their respective schools then go low-mid D1

The comparison to football and basketball is totally ludicrous. Totally different demographic recruiting base and much greater depth of talent across basketball and football. I would say lacrosse recruiting for high academic D3 is much closer to squash, swimming, golf, tennis, fencing and crew then basketball and football.

Love this discussion though. Love to see an active board. My one troll (but not entirely untrue) comment: I think if you gave Brunswick, Lawrenceville, St Anthonys, McDonough, GPRep, Culver kids 1-2 years of maturity (not as 18 year olds), they would hold their own against low D1 teams.

Disclaimer: No dog in this fight. Not a NESCAC dad.

Hampton would get thrashed by Brunswick or St. Anthony’s

This thread is exposing some unfortunate misconceptions. Hampton's best win in 2023 was a 12 goal victory over DIII Wabash College ... which also lost to Kenyon by 22 goals and fell to Denison by 27. Twenty seven.

Nine players from the 2023 Brunswick roster are currently freshmen at top-25 DI programs. Seven of their 2024 players are committed to top-25 DI schools.

Brunswick or St. Anthony’s would absolutely kill Hampton… Those programs are littered with kids who start at top D1 Programs right away. I have streamed a few Hampton games and I love what they are doing down there, but in terms of skill/talent/depth, I wouldn’t even classify them as a D1 program if we’re being honest.

My only time seeing them play in person was against CNU in a scrimmage and CNU was up 14-1 at the end of the first quarter. Pretty sure the captains had backups in after that and still won by 25+..

Couldn't agree more on both points. It's proven itself out in fall clashes and transfers over the years too. Most well respected HS programs in my area, public and private, would smash the bottom 1/4 of D3 sides I've seen. Maybe even the bottom 1/3. 20 years ago, if you could have played D1, you would have played D1. That line is much more grey now.

At Cabrini, going back to the 2004 season, and this is the program I was a part of, so I constantly use it as an example, we had Stevie Hill transfer in from Drexel. He was a great player, but he wasn't absurdly better than everyone on our roster. He was good enough to start. But he didn't set the world on fire or anything. Casey Grugan, from the same HS as Hill, was committed to Hofstra, then for his own reasons, ended up attending Cabrini, and did set the world on fire. There are 2 dozen stories like that within one top20 D3 side. Corey Elmer (RMU), Timmy Brooks (Richmond) on and on we go. Hell, we just had a kid, Sam DiTrillio move from Cabrini to Drexel at the dot, due to the impending closure. It's common place now.

The NESCAC rosters are littered with great players that did get looks from D1 programs and made a decision that suited them. I think the gap in high level talent is rather small across divisions. However, like you said, the basement is like 15 stories underground.

You’re all over the place. First you raise Chlastawa as proof that the gap is so enormous. Then you back off, and ignore other examples (both solid but not extraordinary in their time in the NESCAC). There aren’t other examples, 500 kids aren’t transferring each year (why would they?). Another is Ronan Jacoby, Wesleyan>Rutgers, 48 pts in 2022, D1 All-American, All Big-Ten.

Better yet, find me the NESCAC kids who transferred and did poorly, or is the best you can do Chlastawa’s season?

Ha! 15 stories underground is being gentle. I think your perspective on history, though, is spot on. This definitely aint your fathers D1 and it is definitely more gray.

But to keep adding fuel to the fire, if you gave a top MCLA (GaTech, BC, Northeastern, Texas, VaTech, Georgia, Florida, Chapman) / NCLL (basically D1 club) teams a year to seriously train, they would more than hold their own against the low D1 teams). They attended those schools over mid-low D1 for the same reasons the NESCAC athletes chose theirs: academics before lax. Their rosters are littered with New England prep and public school players.

There's a surprising number of "exceptions" in this discussion, especially considering that there were only a couple of years of COVID eligibility ...

[DeepPocket]

Jacoby was also just scooped up by the PLL Archers for the Championship Series. A great talent.

Not really if you go year by year. It’s going to become more prevalent because of the portal. Talented players that don’t want to sit for a D1 will go D3, start immediately for 1-2-3 years, and transfer out. And, if the sport continues to grow, via tv, social media, NIL’s will come into play. At this point in time, those guys are all the exceptions.

[Laxxal22]

There are more examples of guys who went from D3 to top 30 D1 with their Covid eligibility and had success than guys who went from low D1 to top 30 D1.

Look at the transfer portal then get back to me.

[justanotherperson]

Im going say the transfer portal from D3 to D1 is just really not a discussion point. I think the numerator is so very small for these high academic D3 schools as I am guessing that majority of them are not thinking about trying to play more lax but rather get their degree from their amazing school and move on with their lives. But if you shrink the denominator to just only include high d3 academic schools (instead of ALL d3 schools), the successful percentage is pretty good. But trying to come up with a ton of lax transfers from these high academic schools is like trying to find how many meat eating vegetarians (they are out there ) because its just not common. But for poops and giggles, I am posting the most recent transfer portal 2024 and the 2023 year, and Ill let all of you sort it out because I am not as knowledgeable to see who will be a success next year or who was a success (last year). I counted 6 high D3 transfers to "top d1" lax schools on the below list and 3 the year before:

And from that same era as Chlastawa:

Max Walbaum:
Tufts- 34 games, 129 pts
Jacksonville, 30 games, 106 pts (All Conference, 2 year captain)

Mike McCormack:
Middlebury- 3 seasons, 58 pts
Vermont- 2 seasons, 95 pts (All Conference, All New England)


What’s your spin on their adjustment?

Come on really, 2 players? As I said, there’s always exceptions. But 2 guys out of the 500 kids per year that play NESCAC ball isn’t a great example. And, these 2 probably should/could have played D1 out of HS. Both huge, D1 skills.

You’re all over the place. First you raise Chlastawa as proof that the gap is so enormous. Then you back off, and ignore other examples (both solid but not extraordinary in their time in the NESCAC). There aren’t other examples, 500 kids aren’t transferring each year (why would they?). Another is Ronan Jacoby, Wesleyan>Rutgers, 48 pts in 2022, D1 All-American, All Big-Ten.

Better yet, find me the NESCAC kids who transferred and did poorly, or is the best you can do Chlastawa’s season?

All over the place? I've been consistent throughout this thread. This isn't about one player, it's about the illusion that NESCACians have about the league. Are the players good, absolutely, but there's reasons they're playing D3, not as big, fast, strong, skilled as most D1 players. Some like the relaxed day to day schedules. Are there exceptions, yup, and many have been listed. But they're all exceptions. For F*#K sake man, you're talking about less then 1% of the players in the league having success at the D1 level.

I have know idea how many failed with the transition, probably not many, because it make only sense that the D1 team knows what they're getting. They're not offering a spot to questionable player or a backup.

Im going say the transfer portal from D3 to D1 is just really not a discussion point. I think the numerator is so very small for these high academic D3 schools as I am guessing that majority of them are not thinking about trying to play more lax but rather get their degree from their amazing school and move on with their lives. But if you shrink the denominator to just only include high d3 academic schools (instead of ALL d3 schools), the successful percentage is pretty good. But trying to come up with a ton of lax transfers from these high academic schools is like trying to find how many meat eating vegetarians (they are out there ) because its just not common. But for poops and giggles, I am posting the most recent transfer portal 2024 and the 2023 year, and Ill let all of you sort it out because I am not as knowledgeable to see who will be a success next year or who was a success (last year). I counted 6 high D3 transfers to "top d1" lax schools on the below list and 3 the year before:

ThaNick Alviti, LSM (Vermont to Maryland)

Second-year Maryland assistant Jake Bernhardt ran the offense when he coached at Vermont, but the Terps are loading up on defensive talent from the Catamounts. Alviti and defenseman Jackson Canfield, both first team All-America East selections the last two seasons, will be joined by SSDM Colin Sharkey. In 2022, Alviti set a Vermont record with 32 caused turnovers and led the nation in goals by an LSM with eight. He had a school-record 75 caused turnovers in his career.

Cole Brams, FO (Utah to Rutgers) and Matt Soutar, FO (Monmouth to Rutgers)

The Scarlet Knights have two faceoff transfers coming in that ranked in the top 20 nationally last season. Brams was an absolute workhorse at Utah, taking over 1,200 draws in his career. He won 57.7 percent last year — setting career highs with 261 wins and 452 total faceoffs. Brams was the Atlantic Sun Championship MVP after winning 21 of 23 against Air Force in the title game. Soutar, the first team All-CAA faceoff specialist last year, won 58.1 percent of his 857 career draws, including a 68.5-percent mark his sophomore year when he ranked fourth in the country and set a Monmouth single-season record.

Tommy Burke, FO (Vermont to Ohio State)

The Buckeyes have a host of transfers coming in, and Burke could be among the most important. Burke, a three-time first-team All-America East selection at Vermont, finished third in the country with a 64.8 winning percentage. That was an area of concern for Ohio State last year with the team winning just 45.5 percent of its draws.

Chayse Ierlan, G (Cornell to Johns Hopkins)

After helping Johns Hopkins reach the NCAA quarterfinals, starting goalie Tim Marcille opted not to use his final year of eligibility. That opens the door for the experienced Chayse Ierlan to use his final year at Homewood. Ierlan made 50 career starts at Cornell, helping the Big Red reach the NCAA title game in 2022, and was an honorable mention All-American last year. He’s made 590 saves in his career.

Devon McLane, A (Brown to Notre Dame)

McLane was a nightmare for Ivy League defensive coordinators the last two seasons and will now try to frustrate ACC coaches. After the 2020 and 2021 seasons were limited in the Ivy League due to COVID-19, McLane was an honorable mention All-American in 2022, going off for 71 points (47 goals, 24 assists). He followed that by leading Brown in scoring last year with 51 points (28 goals, 23 assists) despite missing four games.

Beau Pederson, SSDM (Princeton to Michigan)

The Wolverines are rebuilding their defense with a pair of Princeton defenders: Pederson and LSM Cathal Roberts. Pederson was a second-team All-America selection last season and plays with a passion that coaches love. A three-sport athlete at Park City (Utah) High School, this will be a family homecoming for Pederson. His dad, Chip, was a tight end for Michigan’s football team.

Alex Slusher, A (Princeton to Duke)

The U.S. U20 gold medalist in 2022 seems like a perfect fit for Duke’s offense — perhaps stepping into the role that Lehigh grad transfer Tommy Schelling filled a year ago. Slusher led Princeton with 46 goals in 2022 before cooling off in an 11-goal, eight-assist season last year. With his talent and defenses forced to focus on Duke’s big guns, Slusher could easily produce big numbers.

Jake Stevens, M (Princeton to Syracuse)

Stevens had 24 goals last season for the Tigers, earning honorable mention All-America honors from USA Lacrosse Magazine, but there’s more to his game than scoring. After playing short stick defensive midfielder as a freshman, Stevens has shown a knack for the ball. Had had 179 ground balls in his career, twice topping 60 in a season. He’ll find a way onto the field to contribute for the Orange along with former Princeton teammate Sam English.

Matt Wright, LSM (North Carolina to Syracuse)

Syracuse lost its defensive coordinator, Dave Pietramala, to North Carolina, but the Orange are picking up some defensive talent on the field from the Tar Heels. Wright has 57 games of experience under his belt. He had his best year in 2022 when he had 54 ground balls and 24 caused turnovers. He can create havoc for a defense looking to improve from last year’s 12.1 goals allowed per game.

Josh Zawada, A (Michigan to Duke)

Let’s be real, the Blue Devils are loaded on offense, so what more do they really need? They may not need it, but they’ll certainly find plenty of ways to use Zawada. He was an honorable mention All-American last year and finished as Michigan’s all-time leader in goals (119) and points (213). Zawada, combined with Slusher, and Duke’s top three returning scorers from a year ago — Brennan O’Neill, Dyson Williams and Andrew McAdorey — is going to create match-up problems galore.nks...
