I don’t miss those freezing March days on grass, when it was wet and above freezing the day before. All of those deep footprints in the mud, that turned into frozen ankle breakers.
Thank you Kramerica! To my initial point, the top public school on this list is Darien. At #19kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 12:00 pm LaxPower hasn't gone anywhere.
It's just called LaxNumbers now.

Again, I don't think that laxnumbers or the IL computer system carry the credibility that laxpower did; when teams reference rankings they are usually referring to the Nike/IL rankings or the US lax magazine rankings (Darien is at #6 and #5 in those respectively). I think from my understanding of laxnumbers' system, which appears to be much simpler to piece together than Laxpower's, the biggest drain on Darien's rating is actually their narrow victory over Yorktown. I respect the pure math approach laxnumbers employs, but at a certain point wins and losses also need to be weighed in the mix; scoring margin alone won't tell the full story.3rdPersonPlural wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 4:00 pmThank you Kramerica!

Darien is an epic squad. They beat Chaminade and St Ants. (close, but pretty soundly according to folks who were on site) and came back against Brunswick to lose by just a couple after going down 7 nothing early. They beat Manhasset and Yorktown. They'd be higher up if they hadn't lost to their arch rival New Canaan earlier this year. Usually, performance like this would put then in the top 10 or so. They're definitely a top 1% team. But they're #19, and the top public in the list.
Top lax talent is emerging from all over these days. See my OP about top scorers on the ranked D1 teams.
I've 'known' you long enough to trust your random observations, but how is Nike/InsideLacrosse different than https://www.insidelacrosse.com/recruiti ... ational/22?

The one you are linking to is IL's computer ratings. The one I'm referring to (which Nike may or may not still be affiliated with) is put together by the high school "experts" at IL:3rdPersonPlural wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 1:19 pmI've 'known' you long enough to trust your random observations, but how is Nike/InsideLacrosse different than https://www.insidelacrosse.com/recruiti ... ational/22?

USLacrosse omits boarding schools that allow Post Graduate admissions. Therefore no Taft, Lawrenceville, Salisbury, Hill Academy, IMG, Avon Old Farms, and Deerfield. The 'Hold-backs' that add a fifth year to a students HS career that 15 of the top 25 teams (obviously) lever is not a red line, though. Politics.
Again, Darien has impressed me every time I watched a full game on you tube this year. Even their performance in the scrimmage (note that Taft has splotchy pinnies on to denote 'scrimmage') this spring against my beloved Rhinos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxpWP3itMe4 ) was impressive in it's brevity.
