I think Jamie made her contribution to the game when she played at UNC. Her not playing another AU season is smart. I really don't see AU as PRO LACROSSE, but you can if you want to.uncfan1013 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2024 9:21 pmIt could be like Jamie Ortega who hasn’t been an ambassador for lacrosse much after UNC. Played at the alum game but otherwise she hasn’t played for AU since last last summer.Madlax59 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2024 5:37 pmFather helped along the hype machine and would have private practices with her...at UNC.....crazy. I believe she has a job in NYC when she graduates. This surprises me because she was so intense about lacrosse would think she would go the route of Ohlmiller, Arsenault & Mastroiani after graduation.tothedraw wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 7:46 pmShe has had a very good career and seems to be a really hard worker and positive teammate. The whole commit in 8th grade and then switch commitments created a bit of a media storm in the very small market of people who care about Women's Lacrosse. Has to be a lot of pressure to be "the recruit" in that space. Would be cool if she returned to Florida and continued to develop the talent there.Brownlax wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 3:08 pmReposted this from the Games Today Thread.Itsallgood wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 2:51 pm I have not noticed and I apologize if the topic has been discussed but what's up with #15. Totally invisible...from a player described as generational talent. Had more than enough time serving her apprenticeship while Heels stars carried the load.
I feel bad for the kid. She did not create the hype for herself. All she did was put up big numbers in HS. Blame the lacrosse media for how they portrayed her. Maybe you just don’t like her or UNC, but she has had a very good career:
Some of her stats from UNC
Career Assists: 4th (94 assists)
Career Points: 13th (201 points)
Single Season Assists: 6th (42 assists, 2022)
Every woman who plays collegiately is not obligated to "give back" after graduation. Some choose to coach, while others choose to go other routes. Coaching is tough and works well for single, unattached people who have not a care as to where they go. Most women who graduate from college don't fit that description.
