UNC 2025

[GaitsRightHand]

Johns Hopkins again misses out on every IL 5 star. Surprised they do not recruit with the ACC and Ivy's even a little.

How many more 5 stars do you guys need to make the NCAA tournament

When was the last time Hopkins won the NCAA tournament?

Last time Hop won Natty was in 2007, the last Final 4 they made was in 2015.
Last time UNC won Natty was in 2016, the last Final 4 they made was in 2021... Just saying.

For sure. Though that sounds like the argument Hopkins fans used to make during the 2010s rough patch led by the guy who is now UNC's assistant coach. If you're touting accomplishments from nearly a decade ago, you're probably not doing too well right now.

Hop has made the tourney 11 times in the past 14 seasons... They've made one final 4 in that span.

I'm not touting accomplishments, just laying out the facts. One decade since you made a Final 4, two Decades since you won a natty.

One Decade > Two Decades

Yes, these things are true. Also true: They have not missed the last three NCAA tournaments. And they've won more games against the ACC than North Carolina has in that span, despite being in a different conference. Nothing another IL 5-star or two can't fix.

5-stars rather lose at UNC than go to Hop. What does that say about your program lol.

UNC has been laying an egg for several years, JB has been underperforming for a while. I am not arguing that. Personally, I think it's time UNC parts way with JB.

I just don't know why you Hop guys are on your high horse when you haven't done anything in the post-season since 2008. Not one 2026 recruit (they're all 07's) remembers Hopkins winning a natty.

There's no high horse. If anything your "what does that say about your program" statement is the most high-horse thing said thus far. "CloutierPoutine" started the discussion by taking a shot at Hopkins recruiting out of nowhere—a little rich considering UNC's past few seasons. I responded with a joke implying that the number of stars Inside Lacrosse awards a recruiting class is not necessarily predictive of on-field success. That's all. Petro can take solace in the fact that when he lost to his former team and watched them go to the quarterfinals while he sat at home last season, that at least he now has more IL stars than them.

I wouldnt call "Johns Hopkins again misses out on every IL 5 star. Surprised they do not recruit with the ACC and Ivy's even a little" as taking a shot. He knows Hop is a blue blood program and has watched their recruiting the past few years.

Hop 2020 Class had three 5-stars...

Hop hasn't pulled a 5-star the past 3 recruiting cycles. Looks like Kilrain (who's a beast) is the only 5-star out of 21-26 classes.

We disagree on that then. It felt rather smarmy, especially because it wasn't even true. Hopkins' 2026 class is currently ranked well ahead of Penn, Brown, Yale, Cornell, and Dartmouth, while its 2025 class was ranked ahead of every Ivy except Penn and Princeton. The Tigers are the only Ivy school that has consistently recruited ahead of Hopkins, according to IL's star rating system.

If we are counting 5-stars, then it's probably worth noting that 2026 Hopkins recruit Jacob Johnston from St. Anthony's is a 5-star on both Ty Xanders' rankings and NLF's. Now that there are three sets of rankings (including a new one from the guy who until very recently was largely responsible for IL's ranks), it seems like it will be more difficult to determine who is a "5-star" and who isn't. Johnston is not the only player on whom the three recruiting services have diverged.

[CloutierPoutine]

Hopefully we can show JHU lurkers what more 5 stars can do on the field in 2025.

Cope a little more. Hop is cooked and you pick up the scraps us big bois dont wan't. Bro doesn't get 5-stars anymore, so now it's "hard to determine" who is and isn't a 5-star. LOL. Just be grateful you get the leftover locals and pray for top 75-100. You take the scraps from UVa's backyard we don't even bother recruiting aka Harrison Morris.

[OCanada]

As i recall Hopkins defeated the Hooz last year by 2 despite having no PM 5* and competing with all those Hooz 5*. Hooz apparently need better coaching to take advantage of their recruiting machine,

Hop hasn't won anything in nearly 20 years. But yes, Hopkins beat UVa in March 2024. Put a plaque on the wall lol

[OCanada]

Injust do not know how they managed to fo that w the huge talent gap all those 5* and everything. Oh well this is a new season.

[10 10 2]

Anyone have info on fall scrimmages this year? any in Chapel Hill?

Building on this - anyone know how Duffy's knee is doing?

Saw a video posted today on the team's Instagram showing highlights from fall practice. Duffy is suited up and practicing - no brace.

Kilrain was made a 5 star on the freshman impact list from IL. He wasn’t one prior to signing day. I was informed of this distinction by some LVille guys who said they haven’t had a 5 star under Posner’s time, despite 2 NCs (that will likely change in the 26 class)
