Any non traditional powers landing any top tier recruits?
Seems that way. No LI girls going to MD, NU, and Duke, Stanford, Cuse only have one a piece. Seems like the ‘23 class numbers are a little down for LI in general
Don’t understand how Stanford is even close to a traditional powerhouse, not even in the conversation. Don’t get me wrong I would give my right arm for any of my kids to attend, but the question was “traditional powers”
I would put Stanford in the conversation as a perennial Top 15 - 25 Program, certainly one of the overall Top 15 - 20 Programs in the country. I realize that Stanford is not Maryland but Stanford has a stronger, more consistent program than 100 + other programs.
IMHO and based on actual Perform over the past 5 - 10 years I would put the following as the Top Programs:
Maryland
North Carolina
Boston College
Northwestern
Syracuse
Princeton
Virginia
Stony Brook
Florida
Penn
Notre Dame
Penn State
Loyola
JMU
USC
Stanford
and maybe Hopkins....
I am not the original person that posted but I will say that the above are the "traditional powers". I do not think that there are any other programs that are consistently ranked in the Top 20-25. The schools listed have proven it on the field and they are obviously many of the most coveted schools/programs by student athletes. Great Schools, Great Facilities, Great Programs....
