Re: Notre Dame 2024
He's not quite the same profile as those two, who were giants. Jeffery is not small by any means, but 5'11" is quite different from 6'4". He is more explosive though, and plenty strong. Definitely a natural middie in my eyes, but he played attack for club/high school up until his sophomore year; if he lives up to the hype he's certainly a candidate to eventually bump to attack long term simply to keep on the field. But that also depends on how good the other options at lefty attack are; if Pokorny lives up to his billing as a top 10 recruit, or Ricciardelli shines with more opportunity, there's not really a need to move him from midfield.ChopMan23 wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 8:22 amI was thinking Jeffery could be the next Sergio/Dobson but more athletic.BigTurn wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2024 9:37 pmAppreciate the scout.

Re: Notre Dame 2024
Jeff Rico has some serious hands, but strikes me as. Finisher similar to Taylor. Not sure if he will start, but I haven’t seen him as a ball carrier really ever, so could be wrong.random observer wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 9:45 amHe's not quite the same profile as those two, who were giants.

Re: Notre Dame 2024
Tyler Buchner just announced he's going to walk-on to the football team this fall. Rumor has it he's going to be playing receiver now. So may have 2 Irish lacrosse players catching TDs on one of the biggest brands in college sports this fall. Although I will say that receiving room is supposed to be very good this year, so would be surprised if he got playing time. Would still love to see him at least earn a spot back on the team.
Re: Notre Dame 2024
He’ll be back on arlotta next year right? Decision making / off ball play was a little suspect on a few occasions (expected for a guy who hasn’t played in years / first collegiate season), but he’s a great athlete/cover guy.azim21 wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 1:06 pm Tyler Buchner just announced he's going to walk-on to the football team this fall.

Re: Notre Dame 2024
I would imagine, but he also said in his letter that he wanted to graduate in 3.5 years so I think that would mean he'd be graduating after this fall semester? It'd be a shame as I think he's a fantastic athlete who could develop into something more than just a second string d-mid, especially if he wouldn't have stopped playing.BigTurn wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 1:26 pmHe’ll be back on arlotta next year right?

I continue to question his durability.
Will be glad to see him with the football team again. The transfer to Alabama was a bad mistake.

Re: Notre Dame 2024
Great to hear. Here's the link to his letter about why he came back. Seems like a great kid, hope we see more of him these next two seasons on the lacrosse field.NeOhLaxFan wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 2:47 pm Buchner will have two years left for football and lacrosse and he’s going to be enrolling in the spring for his MBA

Re: Notre Dame 20
Cool to see Buchner’s story. Do we have any idea on seniors who are/are not coming back?
Heard McLane say he’s on the fence.
Not back for 2025:
P. Kavanagh
Entenmann
Napolitano
Dobson
Conlin
Bayman
What about Parlette, Harris, Gray, Burgmaster, Danny Parker, Bonomi? Anyone have insight?

Re: Notre Dame 2024
Irish fans believe that their receiving room is much better and deeper than last year. It is possible the neither he nor even Faison will have the opportunity to take much of a pounding on Saturdays. Maybe on the other days.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 2:52 pmApparently official.NeOhLaxFan wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 2:47 pm Buchner will have two years left for football and lacrosse and he’s going to be enrolling in the spring for his MBA

The lax broadcasters kept calling Faison a WR. I always saw him in the slot.
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
Re: Notre Dame 2024
? “Slot” is a WR, it’s just the one closer to the line and usually off the ball. Agree on people getting WAY ahead of themselves on Faison as a football player. He had a great bowl game where many players were sitting out. He had 14 catches for 200 yards the whole rest of the season. He was a freshman and is likely to see the field more but previous talk of him as an NFL prospect is way, way premature.44WeWantMore wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 6:19 pmIrish fans believe that their receiving room is much better and deeper than last year.
