Great interview with Atlas Coach Pressler about why they chose 6'9" Gavin Adler #1.
GA77 + JT51 = #YellCornell.

I know this post is a few days old, but I couldn't agree more. I think it's especially relevant in light of the NCAA tourney selection, with no fewer than 4 of 16 teams coached by current or former Cornell head coaches, and a fifth team - the defending national champs - coached by a Cornell alum who played for Richie Moran (though I think we all agree that it was Tillman's formative years as assistant coach at Ithaca College that truly shaped his lacrosse trajectory).Velvet.Fog wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2023 10:05 am * I think we should all be very proud of the state of the program in the big picture. We have for years now regularly appeared in the top 10 in the country - top 5 at times - even in the face of coaching changes, losses to the portal, regular recruiting decommits, etc. This is a testament in my view to the tremendous culture and legacy of the program and the hiring of quality coaching. Most importantly recently is the hiring of Buczek and Stevens as the stewards of the program...

That's almost a third of the teams in the tourney this year helmed by former (and/or current) Cornell coaches and players. That certainly speaks to a tremendous culture and legacy...
Dooley has the makings of a star based on what he showed in the ILT semi-final game. I think we haven't seen the last of him this season. No offense to Singer, who is a solid player, but that game would have unfolded differently if Dooley were on Lyons from the start.
Only two close D are listed as incoming, and the current roster lists 3 first-year, 1 sophomore, & 2 juniors at defense (including Follows & Singer). There are 2 first-years, 1 sophomore, and 2 juniors at LSM, who might convert to close D.
Its the 8 vs. 9 game so it's obviously considered the closest matchup, and is Michigan winning really an upset. They just won the 2nd best conference championship beating the defending NC.CU88a wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 8:38 am Big Red picked to be upset by 2 of six here:

I don’t see it. Tournament experience is the underrated intangible factor.CU88a wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 8:38 am Big Red picked to be upset by 2 of six here:

Massey still predicts Cornell by two. I don't know who's correct, but I can't see this Cornell senior class ending their last home stand without a fight, nor can I see this team being intimidated by a recent resume. Should be a good game.rolldodge wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 6:16 pmI don’t see it.

The article was about the most likely upset, not a prediction on who would win.CU88a wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 8:38 am Big Red picked to be upset by 2 of six here:

Very interesting. Historically, this is box lacrosse country. A lot of lacrosse talent out there. He also plays for the Burnaby Lakers indoor lacrosse team.Mr. Webber wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2023 4:13 pm Maybe Walker Wallace started a trend for Cornell and having a ginormous, 6'5"-plus LSM on the roster is going to be more than one-cohort fluke. Jeremy Launt, a 2024 recruit from British Columbia (Burnaby Mountain Secondary/Pro Caliber Lacrosse) seems to have committed to Cornell. If true, nice to have Western Canada back in the fold.
