I had heard that Handley, Gergar, Farrare, and Bond will return next year.

This seems true as Penn Men's twitter put out something today honoring their graduating players and none of the above players were in the photo. There were 14 seniors on the roster and just 10 in the photo.

If this is true, as it seems, Penn should be very strong again next year:

Points in ().

Attack: Rubin (27), Smith (29), Gergar (69) and Walsh (13) all return.
Mid: Handley (73), Furey (32), Shipley (23) all return, lose their second line though on a team that already lacked some depth here, but the incoming class has three 4-star mids and one 3-star mid, so hopefully they grow up fast.
FO: Big question mark here as Zusi was terrific, back up Arceri was at 40% this year, Palazzi was a top FO guy from HS and has been playing SSDM, maybe he can step in, they do have a 4-star frosh arriving, and there is a small chance of gaining someone via the portal, quick look shows Mullins (UNC), Kriss (Denver), Savage (Cuse) and Baker (Penn St).
Rope: Bond, Palazzi, Farrare (8) all return.
Def: Lavelle, Blake, Till, Kuehl all return, lose Lenz.
Goal: Carroll played well in relief of Burkinshaw early in the year, so hope he steps up.

And seems like incoming class with seven 4 stars and one 3 star arriving should add some depth.

Right now..Handley, Gergar, BJ and Bond are re-enrolling in the Spring. They will not participate in Fall ball or workouts. Big challenge for Murphy and staff to balance these guys dropping in for the Spring while the rest of the team gel's in the Fall thought workouts and Fall Ball. Will be very interesting to watch.

Thanks. Seems like each school has it’s own withdrawal policy. I am glad these kids can get in 4 years of Ivy League lacrosse.

Agree that the kids should get 4 years. Don't love that they will not be on campus and participating in Fall part of the program. I think it has the potential to be quite a strain on the team and coaches (as opposed to those 5th year guys who are enrolled and a part of the team all year), so we will see. As I said, interesting to observe how it is handled.

It's the only way the Ivies can compete with the transfer portal (which can't be gone soon enough for me - understanding that the players deserve 4 years of lax if they want it). It also enables the Ivy players to play their entire careers with their school of choice. They are, after all, college students who play lax and not lax players who go to college.

Pretty much. The players have a skill (time-limited) that they want to “monetize”. Always have, but now the BS is being stripped away. Who can blame them? Why would they be constrained by “tradition”?

I didn’t say the monetization was for cash. What may have changed in player’s calculus is their faith in the long -term value of the deferred return on their investment of their youthful vigor and NCAA-constrained “time in the sun”.

Or, too put it more crudely, schools need to “put up or shut up”!

It looks like Dartmouth Football has also adopted a solid black uniform with a slim green stripe on the sleeve.

Big challenge for Murphy and staff to balance these guys dropping in for the Spring while the rest of the team gel's in the Fall thought workouts and Fall Ball. Will be very interesting to watch.

Thanks. Seems like each school has it’s own withdrawal policy. I am glad these kids can get in 4 years of Ivy League lacrosse.
