FSU flip today. 25 middie attacker from Charlotte UNC. Also grabbed an uncommitted 25 goalie from
lacrosse Monkey. That is awesome for her. Staying patient is an understatement.

And another YJ to FSU. Tisdale apparently going with a tall lineup.

Florida seems like the new hot spot. There are so many positives to going there, next year it is going to be a very attractive spot for 27s.The $ is definitely good. Who doesn’t want to live in Flordia? Also, that is a place where top recruits can go and know that they will get playing time. Schools like BC can get top recruits every year but still look at the transfer portal for their starters.

The way i see it, these are the most attractive schools in women's lax. when you take into account Location, Campus, overall Athletics, academic prestige, and lacrosse success

1. UNC: checks all the boxes above. You get a girl on campus and they have a hard time not committing.
2. BC: everything but location and overall athletics. Perenial power and that helps overcome other deficiencies.
3. Florida: checks Every box except for lacrosse success
4. Stanford: Everything but lacrosse success
5. UVA: UNC's less popular cousin school. Very similar. Checks everybox except for lacrosse success
6. Penn State
7. NW
8. Cuse
9. Maryland
10. Duke


Florida has always had the ability to recruit itself. Would be a perrenial recruiting powerhouse with more onfield success. Same with UVA and Stanford.

What seperates UNC and BC is the coaching that goes with the talent. You can't win on just talent alone. Exhibit Duke, stanford, Penn State, florida, etc. Absolutely necessary to maintain consistency in recruiting. All the other schools are hot and cold, alternating between great recruiting classes and not so great ones. UNC and BC is consistent greatness

Maryland is pretty low on the attractivness scale if we're being honest. They were just such a powerhouse program, that the success kind of masked everything. Without that success, we started to see the decline. But that alure still exist enough to occasionally draw excellent players. Just not what it was before

Any buzz on potential UNC commits or recruits? Not much amazing talent left but still some good talent.

Amazing talent in 10th grade doesn’t always translate to amazing talent in college Other girls grow while some plateau Nothing matters til you get there

Florida has always been an attractive spot. And in the past O'Leary had a very close relationship with Carol Rose, which has faded due to issues well discussed on this board.

But UF isn't for everyone. A very strong off-the-field "culture", that appeals to many girls and scares many others away.

Next year, I think Florida will do very well, mainly because there are 2 top 8 clubs within 2-3 hours of campus in Eagle Stix and FL Select, and a couple other florida girls playing on top out of state clubs. I would expect UF to fill at least half its class from those 2 clubs

This list is lacrosse achievement heavy. Duke below Penn state and Florida? Not for a girl who is also a strong student.
Florida or Penn state or cuse or Maryland aren’t remotely the same as Duke when it comes to career opportunities and alumni network——for excellent players who are also excellent students.
On a lax only rating, maybe.
But throw in lax and academic reputation , and a duke offer is catnip to a kid that aspires to excellence in the classroom as well the lax field.

Duke is a mixed bag. Talked to some former players that appreciated the school but not the team atmosphere or how they didn’t do things. Based on the mediocre performances over the past years, I think the program has lost some luster. Starting to feel like a has-been program.

What about ND? They may appeal to more of a subset of the recruits, but they certainly have been getting more highly ranked recruits than a Penn State, for example.

Just to clarify…do you mean weather when you say location? BC is in a major city and so is NW basically which are very appealing aspects to both those schools. I think weather is more so what you mean…

Duke is much like Stanford. Duke has that UNC appeal but lacrosse success has been lack luster for the past few years.
