Correct. 1766 would be accurate if he were talking about HS grad classes of 17’ and earlier.DongDenMt wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2024 8:04 am1766 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 18, 2024 5:34 pmThey don't take transfers but they have virtually unlimited class sizes.

Service Academies. No inbound Transfers, right?
So with just one bite at the recruiting apple, so to speak, they're at a distinct disadvantage as to hoovering up the late, late bloomers. Therefore, they're at a disadvantage as to building a month-of May juggernaut as well.....more's the pity.
I don't begrudge anything the academies do because of what they are there to do, but recruiting isn't necessarily a crutch for them either. Their 24 roster has 64 players listed. That's a lot of bites at the apple out of HS.
The most recent naps class I saw, within the past 3 years, there were maybe 4 actual recruited players on the team one rehabbing an ACL all year. There were players on the naps team that would not make the club team at navy. There are players recruited to play on the naps team that had never played lax before.
It’s a great prep for the academy but it’s not a place to get better at lax. Most recruits I believe by far are direct admits now at navy not from the prep school.
And the list of recruited players coming in for future classes that you might see posted somewhere. Many of these are not coach recruited players that the coach will fight to get in often they are players from HS who will show up at tryouts pleb year and then after one day will head to the club team never once making the varsity in their 4 years

c'mon, youth. don't act like you've been asleep for 15 years. youth sports, feeding to h.s., feeding to college has been in disarray for quite a long time. even as it's gotten "more organized". it's been a $¿¡+ show. no reason to think there wouldn't be waves of things in college that an observer would eventually find alarming. i'm well into the "tell me what guys are on the team and when we play" part.youthathletics wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2024 5:45 pm This sport sure seems to be in disarray or is this representative of the times….seems so many are not happy getting an education.
I have no idea what is going on with this situation or even if accurate. However, some times kids transfer without it being a lacrosse decision. Collucci transferred to Virginia last year for graduate school from maybe Bucknell and just walked on. It wasn’t initiated or pushed by Lars. Then the kid ended up being a key sub on face offs. Who knows?DocBarrister wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2024 6:23 pmMore options and more freedom for student athletes.

The college games are as good as they have ever been. The off field order of business is much different and changing rapidly but in the end that is background noise. The on field competition is what matters and it’s great.wgdsr wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2024 8:55 pmc'mon, youth. don't act like you've been asleep for 15 years. youth sports, feeding to h.s., feeding to college has been in disarray for quite a long time. even as it's gotten "more organized". it's been a $¿¡+ show. no reason to think there wouldn't be waves of things in college that an observer would eventually find alarming. i'm well into the "tell me what guys are on the team and when we play" part.youthathletics wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2024 5:45 pm This sport sure seems to be in disarray or is this representative of the times….seems so many are not happy getting an education.

Drago is a 2020 4 star who was recruited by Desko/Rogers. Didn’t play as a freshman, one game as a sophomore and 4 as a junior. 17 games last year. With Olexo gone Drago was the most experienced LSM on the Cuse roster. Wonder what happened there?
Surprised he lasted there as long as he did. He was looking to transfer long before now.Formerhound wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 11:34 amDrago is a 2020 4 star who was recruited by Desko/Rogers.

My guess is he looked around and saw 8 LSMs on the roster next year including Olexo (probably and a 4 star they're bringing in), saw an opportunity to play a year with his brother, realized the winters are much nicer in Durham, and he gets a chance to get a masters degree from Duke. Also Duke isn't exactly overloaded with LSMs so maybe there's a chance he could actually play.Formerhound wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 11:34 amDrago is a 2020 4 star who was recruited by Desko/Rogers.

olexo's done as are the other 2 guys who got most of the leftover rotation. cuse will have pt there, but also guys that should fill it fine (sageder, scott, the new guy possibly, others. caccamo has played some.)BrownDad wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 12:51 pmMy guess is he looked around and saw 8 LSMs on the roster next year including Olexo (probably and a 4 star they're bringing in), saw an opportunity to play a year with his brother, realized the winters are much nicer in Durham, and he gets a chance to get a masters degree from Duke.

Olexo won't be back for Syracuse (he's on the Denver Outlaws right now). The LSM position for the Orange could be a little thin next year. Dylan Sageder and Kyle Gonsiorek are the only returning players. They bring in Michael Grace from RIT, and have a New Balance All American and Vincent Bolognino coming in. I think Drago would have had a decent chance to play next year, but far from a sure thing. He did see time as a man-down specialist last year. He always seemed to be one year away, but other guys seemed to be in his way. Best of luck.BrownDad wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 12:51 pmMy guess is he looked around and saw 8 LSMs on the roster next year including Olexo (probably and a 4 star they're bringing in), saw an opportunity to play a year with his brother, realized the winters are much nicer in Durham, and he gets a chance to get a masters degree from Duke.

Didn't get much burn at MD, but he is a human highlight reel. Some of his juco highlights- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iz-atn5HBRM

I saw him play at Don Bosco a couple years back and he looked like a can't miss recruit. He was a top 50 IL recruit and barely saw the field in his first two years at Hopkins. Can't understand why some team isn't bringing this guy in. He is only a sophomore and has three years of eligibility left from what I can see.
