Heard we are opening with Lehigh at RU. Should be a good test with what will likely be a top level PL team.
Solid Opening Day opponent. Team better be ready as they're no pushover historically.Heard we are opening with Lehigh at RU. Should be a good test with what will likely be a top level PL team.

Cali, what time of year do they usually release the official schedule? Opening weekend has been the first weekend of February recently, so I'm thinking between Thanksgiving and Christmas for a schedule release?Heard we are opening with Lehigh at RU.

What websites do you guys use for recruiting results? I only ask because year after year I hear we are not recruiting HS players as well as our conference mates and I want to see tangible evidence of where we rank relative to other top 20 programs.
Oh I definitely know they are not gospel. Just looking for another resource to devour. I know your high on the team most years and with good reason...the results are usually there. I think its fair to say that the program is somewhere in between last years results and the prior two tournament runs which is impressive given that we dont grab the big names out of the portal or the polished system guys out of HS like we may wish.IL seems like the most popular one. I wouldn't put much stock in them. After a couple of can't miss prospects each class, it's a crapshoot. It's two guys sitting in Baltimore, one of whom never played lacrosse that are doing these rankings. I've said it before- It's not NBA scouting we are talking about here. There is no way they can see every player, and even the ones they see, I am not sure they know what they are looking at.
See Ross Scott and Shane Knobloch for starters. Ross blew up in the camp circuit and they saw him. Shane Knobloch wasn't even listed in their top 100 recruits and he played the first day he stepped on campus. They don't realize what they are seeing. It happens a lot in their recruiting rankings.
Even based on their rankings, Brian and staff have raised the bar in the last few classes specifically. It's fun to discuss, but at the end of the day, it doesn't mean anything.
