It was between him and Liljeberg for me Jarosz has more eligibility but Logan was a 2 time captain and scored 135 points including a Covid shortened Jr. year, couldn't pass up that type of production. But, I think Jon will be a great player for you.
Good takes ohmi!! Dupuis started 10 of 11 games for UMBC last year, led the team in points with 39 and, I'm pretty sure, has 3 more years of eligibility. I haven't been in the league long enough to know but I'd guess those would be pretty compelling numbers for an Attackman.ohmilax34 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 11:44 am Since the draft is moving kinda slowly, I figured I'd chime in with some thought on what's happened in the draft so far. I don't think there are many fascinating options left in the draft, so it won't be hard to avoid discussing undrafted players.
Best picks (excluding my own):
6 1.6 Keoni007 Leo Johnson FR A Yale
I think he part of a pretty clear top 3 with McAdorey and Schutz. Both talented and seemingly can fit right in on the Yale attack. I wouldn't be surprised if Yale is pretty good again this spring and makes the quarterfinals.
13 1.13 FCALax Shane Knobloch SO M Rutgers
I think that if someone who hasn't been very successful in fanlax would've drafted Knobloch, I wouldn't think the pick was as good, but since FCA picked him it looks like a great move. I don't think Knobloch is the next Paul Rabil, but he's talented and you know he's going to get some points going forward. I question the upside of the pick, but there wasn't an obvious player to pick at this spot.
20 1,20 UK Lax Ronan Jacoby JR A Rutgers
21 2.1 UK Lax Eric Spanos FR A UMD
UK's roster is good. With these picks, he gets points now and in the future. I think Spanos will score lots of points, but maybe not this season.
28 2.8 FCALax Sam English JR M Princeton
Another FCA pick. I wanted English with the next pick. Very athletic, very good junior A box scorer. He was probably worthy of a 1st round pick.
30 2,10 OCanada Casey Wilson FR M Denver
I really know nothing about Wilson, besides he's a very good box scorer. Denver is a little tricky to figure out because sometimes they get guys from BC, like Semple, and they don't play much. I have avoided Denver lately after getting burned by Riley Curtis. I think the 2nd round is a good place for Wilson, because his ceiling seems high.
33 2.13 CalLaxDad Nick Dupuis JR A UMBC
Not a sexy pick, but probably worthy of a first round pick.
49 3.9 Typical Lax Dad Mark Sickler SO M PSU
I considered him with my 2nd round pick. If PSU can get their offense clicking close to how it was with Ament running the show, then watch out for a lot of their guys to put up points.
Befuddling Picks:
17 1.17 GreenieLax Mike Hawkins SR A Notre Dame
24 2.4 GreenieLax Georgetown D
Greenie's roster was ravaged by graduation, so I think he's clearly in rebuilding mode. Using his first two picks on a senior and a defense (two roster spots that open up again for the 2023 season) doesn't make sense to me.
I like #4.Will Peden FR A Penn State
Jeffrey Ricciardelli FR A Notre Dame
Denver D
Josh Tang FR A UMBC
LOL, I think Peden is a reach, but I think he's got a high ceiling. He scored more points at Malvern prep than Spanos. I also think he has a unique skill set. He was also mentioned in IL's fall article about PSU.
Georgetown D was excellent last year, however they played a soft schedule early in the season and Nova had trouble finding their offense early in the season. To their credit, Georgetown looks like they have a much tougher schedule this year with UMD, Princeton, etc. Will they repeat as the #1 D? Time will tell.Matnum PI wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 11:50 amI beg to differ. I see several. At lease from where I'm sitting. I'll chime in when those players are picked.
Points are points. And Greenie needs points in 2022. Hawkins i don't know but the G'town D will all but certainly deliver points.ohmilax34 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 11:44 am Befuddling Picks:

Add Bowen to an already stacked D w most coming back from last year, they were my 1st choice fo sho. Remember also that Gibby Smith missed a good portion of the season as well. However, strength of schedule has been upgraded so they will face some tougher offenses.
Might be wrong but I thought barnds was picked. I remember someone making a comment that whoever picked him spelled his name wrongLax1 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 6:39 pm Sincere apologies for the delay, especially since I can't stand when other people hold up the draft. Jarosz pick right before I was up really threw me off.
First:
Add: Tommy Barnds - Princeton SO M
Drop: Quentin Buchman - Notre Dame SR M
Buchman just can't stay healthy/find his way to the field. Painful, because he's really talented and super fun to watch.
Second:
Rutgers D
I may make another pick, depending who's around for my next pick/how I'm feeling about my roster. But I would bet against it.
Was that the younger brother?Njlaxx11 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 9:31 pmMight be wrong but I thought barnds was picked.

Yea the younger brother was taken. I was the one correcting spelling. I couldn't decide between the two lol whoever drafted Billy chose for me.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 9:37 pmWas that the younger brother?Njlaxx11 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 9:31 pmMight be wrong but I thought barnds was picked.
