Not sure what to make of St. Johns giving Syracuse all they could handle, Towson beating Hop handily and Hofstra knocking off the defending NCAA Champs at home, again? Is it the effects of early recruiting starting to bare rotten fruit? Or, could it be that all those holdbacks are not competing too well at the highest levels? Maybe it's the effects of these old guard teams recruiting all these "athletes" from non-traditional hotbeds? At least this week, it seems those teams laden with on age LI kids and blue collar MD kids gave the ACC's best an ole fashion A$$ kicking... As predicted here, parity is alive and well in D1 Lacrosse. It's just a matter of time before one of these teams breaks through and wins it all. With all these top ranked kids, number 1 recruiting classes, and IL and Ty top ranked kids, these teams should be blowing out "lesser" competition with their 2nd and 3rd lines!!! These games should even be close, should they?
