Vanderbilt is a Great school academically. Biskup will help Vandy Lacrosse to a point, but they are a program in Lacrosse purgatory. They will win nothing and do pretty much very little. Mediocrity has been their credo for the past 8-9 years.Womenslaxxfan wrote: ↑Sun Jun 25, 2023 7:34 am She will help vandy. Super quick first step and a real nose for the goal. That’s a good get for Vanderbilt.
I heard Tierney to ND.

Thanks for this. Good perspective and good post.TNLAX wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2023 12:34 pm Vanderbilt is a fully funded program, 12 scholarships.
I know the program well, had a daughter who was heavily recruited out of HS, the usual top 5 programs all offered her spots and scholarship money. But she was not interested in attending a large state university and Vanderbilt checked all the boxes she wanted for a school. She went on to an excellent college career by ever measurable metric, on and off the field. She looks back on her college experience and has not a single regret.
I also know, first hand of 5 or 6 real good HS players, from top HS programs, who wanted to attend Vanderbilt the past 5 years and the coaches showed no interest in them. Know their families well and know they were qualified academically, athletically and know money wasn't an issue. All of these girls ended up at top 20 programs and all were starters and significant contributors to their teams. They would have been difference makers at Vanderbilt and Vanderbilt would have surely had a lot more W's if these young women were on the roster.
I don't think the coaching staff at Vanderbilt is very strong as far as developing players. I agree with Larry that the program is stuck and not getting better. The school is a real good one in a real fun city. I scratch my head often and wonder why they don't have more success on the field, but then I say, why do I really care. My daughter went there to receive a top notch education and mature and learn and help get a firm foundation for her future. She accomplished all of those and I am very proud of the young women she is.
In my simple world there is a lot more to college sports than winning championships. Maybe I am old school

Fully agree with this perspective. And can echo Vanderbilt's coaching staff's past lack of recruiting efforts. During our club years, Vandy bewildered the club leadership by an almost complete lack of responsiveness even to highly-sought candidates.TNLAX wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2023 12:34 pm Vanderbilt is a fully funded program, 12 scholarships.

Stated well. School came first in my daughter’s college selection. Very proud of how she approached recruiting. I hope she has the same experience as your daughter. Thanks for the post.TNLAX wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2023 12:34 pm Vanderbilt is a fully funded program, 12 scholarships.

Not sure this is relevant but Maryland follows her on Instagram and most of their follows are of current or former players. Don't have any inside info but just thought it was curious. I know someone a few weeks ago said she was visiting College Park. Ball to MD is also official now as she has it in her Instagram bio.
She's from Longmeadow, so she'll be much closer to home at UMass - a 40 minute drive versus 8+ hours. She's a great young lady and I'm glad she'll be playing for a stronger program.lacrossemwj wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2023 12:42 pm Delaney Rodriguez-Shaw from Duquesne to UMass Amherst.
