Who's the HC at Queens? Panos or Hannan

[FaceDodge]

At this point I don't even think the administration at Queens knows who the head lacrosse coach is.

[Old&InTheWay]

Was there a mutiny? Why would a new coach (Hannan) want to be a part of this environment. Seems like you would be looking over your shoulder all the time. CRAZY!

Kyle has been around(including a few seasons in Geneva)...he won't be looking over his shoulder, he knows the drill.

I'm kinda with you Bart.

I don't know Williams, I'm sure he's a good coach and will be fine at St. Rose. I wish him the best.

However - as I reread the job description I was expecting a bigger "splash" I guess. Top NE-10 assistant or someone that had coached in an NCAA tourney at some point. Maybe St. Rose's pay structure coming back to bite them again? Not sure where it stands now but I know when Morrissey was hired the salary wasn't great.

Ryder, Clarke or Stocks

FWIW - you heard it here first

Great hire by Tampa. Gold mine of talent and a recruiters dream with their campus/location/administration.

[Sidelinehorn!]

I am shocked that Tampa hasn't won a championship yet. The amount of talent they have and over 100 guys between the Varsity and JV roster is impressive...The talent down south is also really getting stronger at the HS level...especially in Georgia and the Sweetlax program in Florida...

One of the best things you can do as a HS coach is go down there and try and get on the Tampa JV schedule...It's a great way for your guys to see the level they need to get themselves to...Or for you to see the level your program is at...good for top end programs looking to challenge their guys.

[Old&InTheWay]

I agree with you to some extent. Tampa has had a lot of talent but sometimes talent isn't everything. Maybe JB can figure that part of the proverbial puzzle out.The SSC is getting stronger, so it will be interesting to see how they do within the conference. I do believe there is some really good talent in both Georgie and Florida but to attribute it to Sweetlax is a stretch to say the least and a discredit to some of the finest HS coaches and programs it both states. Sweatlax 2023 team is solid but if you look down the line at their other levels, they don't seem to consistently maintain that level of success. It also seems they are having trouble identifying, and recruiting, top coaches to their programs in Florida. I am not advocating one club program over the other, I just don't think it's fair or accurate to direct all the credit in the uprise of lacrosse in George and Florida to one club program . "Just my opinion"

Rumor is that the JV Mens Lacrosse team at Tampa will no longer exist moving forward. Not that they will have trouble getting 60-70 guys, but I do know of a number of DIII schools who got a lot out of coming down, meeting and playing a couple of D III teams and then playing the Tampa JV team there as well.

I've coached club for over a decade and Sweetlax Florida is by far the only group I encountered from FL that could compete on the national stage. I'm not saying the success of Florida lacrosse is strictly because of them, but they have certainly helped the state profile along with IMG. I would say Georgia actually has several clubs that compete on the national stage and have LEGIT top end talent.

As for the demise of the Tampa JV Program that is too bad. It was a great opportunity and perspective change for our HS athletes when we got to play them. Hopefully it's just a rumor.

I doubt it is a rumor. Limestone once also had a JV program, but got rid of it. (I think after JB came on as coach).

Tampa is doing away with the JV program. Coach Clarke already informed the players. He will still keep a larger roster (60-70 kids) like he did at Limestone, but they will not have a JV program.

Good, I have yet to meet a player who was happy about playing JV.
