That is great news. We won't get every kid, but hopefully we get to the point where we are cherry picking the best of NJ, with filling in gaps from other areas. Unlike football, Coach Brecht will never try to implement an exclusive NJ roster. He really sees the benefit of melting different types of skill sets together, which different regions are really starting to produce.
Also like that he is recruiting kids who have excelled at other sports. Always saw that being good at sports like football, basketball and hockey translate very well to the lacrosse field. Most of the kids we have coming or are on the roster already fit this mold. Simply put, they are athletes, and athletes can excel in lacrosse.
Going to be an interesting time on The Banks. Not sure if this is the year it comes together or not, but you have to be excited with what is being built. Good timing too, because we are swimming in the adult pool now.
Still need to work on a few structural things, in order:
1) Full out of state tuition scholarship allotment (I know this is priority number 1 and is being addressed)
2) Coaching positions added, specifically a Video Coordinator and a Director of Operations. Both full time
3) Facilities. Lacrosse needs its own space, including stadium, weightroom, lockerroom, etc.
