For the Class of 2025 recruits a true consideration should be the forward tenure of the Head Coach. When the Head Coach transitions its very disruptive no matter what your status is on the team and depth chart.
The following programs have coaches with at least 15-18 years of HC experience:
UNC
Florida
Notre Dame
Penn State
Navy
Temple
Duke
Mayland
If I had to guess, UNC HC retires in 2028 when her daughter graduates.
Notre Dame HC is next five years, maybe six, because she has a good couple of classes strung together.
Florida will turn over in 3 years. Regy for President (and the next Head Coach of U of F)
PSU, Navy and Temple: Feels like PSU then Navy, then Temple in terms of turnover.
Duke and Maryland: Feels like those two coaches have ˜4 years left ... something like that.
The future of lacrosse is at places like Clemson and Denver and UVA, where new programs and coaches and systems are being installed.
I detest to say it, but the Gretzky quote applies: Skate not to where the puck is, but rather to where it will be. |
