LaxPower Back-Up Stick

What happens when all of these kids sign up for another year, investing their time and $ to chase the dream one last time and then after getting to campus there is the predicted Covid-19 rebound in the fall? Will another season be cancelled?

For the younger transfers, maybe not a big deal. For the guys who stuck around and paid for a 5th or sixth year for one last hurrah...UGH. I am hoping like hell that that doesn't happen.

Could shape up to be a hell of a season with the transfer SUPER TEAMS having huge targets on their backs. We shall see. Hoping for the best.

i think we've come full circle and got about everybody now.
including 5th/6th year guys who might not be able to transfer and pay/play.
time to hit the showers.

Sam Lucchesi has gone pro with the Bayhawks

A couple of other notable transfers, according to sources. Both pending admission.

Former Princeton attackman Phillip Robertson will be joining his brother Joe at Duke.

Former Ohio State goalie Josh Kirson will be transferring to Johns Hopkins.

Exactly

With Adler to Duke, does Duke become the "prohibitive" favorite next season? Where are they weak? Perhaps at close D, unless JTGH comes back?

So very true.. And sadly, the coaches simply can not help themselves amass a roster of other peoples players at the expense of their own. I hate what the NCAA has done.

They’ve unquestionably improved themselves more than anyone else. Maryland added a lot, but they were going to be in the Top 5 either way. Duke as constructed at the end of the 2020 season was a back end Top 10 team and have now vaulted themselves into the Top 3 for sure.

It seems probable that the vast majority of players on the transfer portal have played their last game of college lacrosse.

Can add Nick Hapney going to Cuse, per Chris Jast Twitter.

I know AreaLax updated the list already but Ticehurst to Towson and Buque to Wagner per Chris Jast.

I really really like Ticehurst and what he can bring to Towson. Him and Koby Smith will be so much fun to watch.

was perusing the list and saw Jake Garb (wagner) listed. i looked into it and found his twitter, with SHU '23 in the bio. i'm assuming Sacred Heart.

Gotta love investigative journalism. According to social media,

Tetreault -> Trinity
Lenkiatis -> Delaware
Cornwell -> Christopher Newport

Also Hopkins forum saying they are getting Szuluk
