Three years ago if you looked at where these programs are past the middle of a season and you saw this it would be unthinkable. This is like the housing bubble. The inventory of kids who committed as rising sophs are moving through the college system now. In a couple of years the inventory of 9th and then rising 9th graders starts to move through. Just incredible how the lacrosse public isn't seeing this disaster even though it is happening before our eyes.


Agree somewhat, but then how do you explain Georgetown? They are typically a late recruiter and they are 1-9 this season and they havent been relevant in years. I think when all is said and done the usual suspects will be there come final four weekend. HOP was in the final four last year and Duke has piled up final fours and National Championships. UVA last won in 2012, but I think the game has passed Starsia by a little bit. UNC is a train wreck and I find it amazing that Breschi still has a job. Early recruiting is a factor im sure to a degree but there are other forces at work as well.
