Hard to know which recruits will crack a line up as talented as UVA's, but I think you guys will like this kid. #1 attackman for his school as a soph and junior, but plays both ends of the field quite well as a middie for Laxacusetts.

Virginia does have lot's of talent but also lost some of their best players ever so going to be more of an unknown this season to start anyway. Lars has work to do rebuilding the attack and goal positions. They also return experienced players at short stick, close D and LSM, but the overall team D was underwhelming. That also requires re evaluation and adjustment. Was it too complex a scheme, Did players struggle to execute it properly or something else? The good news is there is great talent on hand If the staff can develop and slot it correctly. Fall in Charlottesville will be even busier than usual.

think you're talking about football. and that's 1a up to 6a, not repeating the aa's. lacrosse is aa, a, b, c and d. they had a b team make the finals. hp was the #1 seed and lost to the eventual champ episcopal school dallas in '24. the state champ was in '23. mike pressler is the hp coach and i hear he's getting paid pretty well. enrollment is almost 2,300.

no one's going to mistake texas for the pg leagues, but the competition has gotten better and some very good athletes have come out of there. the hoos have gotten bower out of esd, nunes from the woodlands, and saustad, ghobriel and mencke out of highland park. a '24 browne is coming in as a 5 star from esd. i assume he did pretty well with both.

With incentives/bonus and all the other ways he can make income (camps, clinics etc.) I have to imagine he's north of Torpey...but maybe not

Very, very likely north on total comp...and it should be understood that whenever the musical chairs get going, salaries and total comp are often adjusted to stay in relative position to new comp elsewhere.

To laxfanatic, yes, the top $ #'s are quite attractive. If successful, can be a quite good living.
But that's the top end, not throughout...and assistants, especially younger, can be pretty unattractive at a whole lot of programs.
"Friends" pools can be quite important, especially for the assistants.

That's a big $ # for Torpey if accurate.
