Cornell is down this year?

And Towsen and JMU are down. might be interesting. To bad Hofstra and Stonybrook don't play anymore. Seems like Spalina only wants to play them when he knows he can beat them badly. chicken-lina

Notre Dame lost a close one to Syracuse. The Irish look pretty good to me. Notre Dame is one of the 10 -15 best Programs in the country. Notre Dame is an excellent school and their women's lacrosse program is top notch. Some on this site bash them every year out of some sort of jealousy or bitterness (I have been critical of their out of conference schedule this year). Hate all you want, The Irish are very good.

That would be false because SB had its best team last year and didn't play them SB was pretty pretty good last year. Last time they played was two years ago. Was there with my daughter and it was 16-0 at halftime we left early as did most. Pretty sure no one is scared of Hofstra. Funny thing is my daughter was considering Hofstra but chose a different CAA school based on how bad they were that year

I don't think anyone is denying that they're a good team (the team has been stacked for the last 5-10 years), the school is one of the rare few that has there pick of recruits. The problem, as with Florida and all the great players they have had, is the coach can't manage the talent or make the in game decisions when it counts. They should be a perennial final four team with the recruits they get, they are classic underachievers and that's on the coaching

Syracuse played terrible yesterday and was lucky to get the win. They are better than that. That being said. ND had a ridiculously easy schedule up to that game.

Bingo!!!

There have been many on this site who have said that ND is not a good team or a strong program.

They are one of the top 10 - 15 programs in the country. That said, why should they be a perennial final four team? You say 'the school is one of the rare few that has their pick of recruits". The fact of the matter is that the "top recruits" are the ones who have their pick of schools not the other way around. The top programs fight over many of the same of players. There are about 15 schools (more than a rare few) that get the top recruits each year, Notre Dame is in that group but they do not have their pick. Maryland , North Carolina, Boston College, Virginia, Northwestern, Princeton, Penn, Duke, Georgetown, Syracuse, USC, Stanford, Hopkins, Penn State, Florida and Loyola (Michigan will start bringing in more talent). Every "family / personal" situation is different for each recruit and Notre Dame is not the right choice for all of the best players for a variety of reasons.

Getting to the Final Four is very difficult. To say that they should be there every year is foolish. Notre Dame may have a big advantage over most schools but when it comes to the top programs, the programs that compete for the top recruits they have to fight like everyone else. None of the top programs have their pick, it is the top players who have their pick.

Get over yourself .Those 15 are not equal in the talent they bring in . I would say UNC has the easiest time getting their chose of recruits and with the new field which I did get to see with my sons team it just got even easier. Weather ,campus, history of success and the academics .When I say academics I mean its an excellent school but doubt the coaches strugle to get their top players admitted which may happen at some of the other schools. If you think the coaches at MD or UNC are just better than SBU or USC or just about any on that list you are wrong, they just get their pick of the top players more often than the others. Honestly its always the parents that complain their coaches are terrible when their kids team loses because they dont eant to admitt their kids are just not as talented .

Maryland has the easiest recruiting route to a top class every year, their high school talent is off the charts, North Carolina high school talent is way behind. Maryland gets to offer in state tuition and has big money left to give a larger percentage to out of state kids.

"Please work on improving your reading comprehension. Where does it say that those 15 schools are equal in the talent that they bring in? The gist of the post was that it is "the top players" that have "their pick" not the other way around. If you look back over the years the majority of the top 30 - 40 recruits choose one of the schools listed. The majority of those schools finish the season ranked in the top 20 just about every year. Some of those schools get more of the top recruits than others but none get all of the recruits that they want. Not all of UNC's recruits are top recruits, their #9 is not equal to their #1. UNC does not get their pick of the top players. Sometimes, more of the top players choose UNC but once again it is the top players that get to choose.

The top recruits get to choose where they want to go."

Wrong again, I know of many top recruits ,kids ranked 1-10 by inside lacrosse who were told by some of the top schools that they have no interest in them for various reasons or offered little money.

Islip HS retiring Kylie Ohlmiller's # 17 before Islip's game. Celebration starts at 3:45pm. Congrats KO17!!

"My brothers friend knows a guy who has a friend who knows.... Please stop. The top players are in the drivers seat the large majority can choose the school they want"

Talk about reading comprehension issues,the poster said "I know" not I know of someone who knows. That said I personally know of multiple players who were ranked top 10 who have been told ,too small, too slow, we dont recruit defenders, not interested, etc. Do the top players have multiple options, yes, do the top schools have multiple options yes they do .Do both the top players and top schools get rejected at times ,yes they do.

Really? You know many girls ranked top 10 that were told "we don't recruit defenders". Please tell us all when the last time a defender was ranked in the top 10 on the Inside Lacrosse Young Gun Senior List. Pretty sure it was not 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014...

Can’t tell you the last time but can tell you I personally know a defender in one of those years that was ranked top 10 and was told we do not recruit defenders from a top 5 lax school . Your comment just shows your complete ignorance , first you have no clue about any defenders being ranked top 10 and next you show your complete lack of reading comprehension. No one said they know many girls that were told “we dont recruit defenders” you are just too ignorant to understand that.

Thats the one pt you focused on, not too small, too slow or not interested etc...

When lies are spouted... why should we take anything he says as truth?

First off the poster said ranked top 10, maybe it was not the “Young Guns” ranking or possibly they were a top ten ranked defender on the inside lacrosse list , or possibly a player that was recruited as a defender but played middie in high school but defense for travel. You honestly seem like an uneducated dope when you think every Young Guns” top 10 player could go to any school they wanted when anyone who knows anything realizes thats just not the case .
