UNC gets their 10th commit, and another 5-star.

5-Star middie Ricky Giordano just committed. Known to be one of the best shooters in the class. He played up on Primetime's 2025 team. He's a stud... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWkOXTBG3aI&t=72s

Looks like they're addressing their needs in the middle of the field.

Giordano reminds me of Will Perry. Cannon from outside.

Carolina's 2026 class is still pretty light on attackmen and close defensemen. Giordano's teammate, Lucas Garcia, is one of the top uncommitted attackmen in their class.

Isn’t Plunkett actually more of an Attackman?

Anthony Mancaruso (3-Star/LI-NY) just committed. 6'1 and 190lbs middie. Cant find any recent film on him, but his IL page says he was deciding between Penn, Duke, and Cornell. So, I assume this is another good pick up.

Keep building that St. Anthony's pipeline...

Nice article on Plunkett... https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/ ... kett/64076

"Perhaps most importantly, the UNC staff’s belief in Plunkett crystalized with a clear plan for him to compete for the lefty attack spot once he arrives in Chapel Hill — a position they’re thin in in the 2024 and 2025 classes. From Pietramala’s initiative to offensive coordinator Jon Thompson’s overall intensity, Plunkett’s mind was set on joining the winning tradition of the Tar Heel program."

Looks like you are correct, he has his eyes set on the lefty attack spot. Just a bonus that he can play middie too, versatility is never a bad thing.
