Who are our 1st and 2nd team All-Americans (besides Scanlan, and especially if Mellen stays injured)?
There’s definitely more parity in college lacrosse nowadays, so we can’t expect to have multiple 1st and 2nd Team All Americans every year, and sorry to simplify the game way too much, but the most talent still wins in the playoffs. It’s still an arms race, and the team with the most 1st and 2nd team All-Americans wins the chip (‘19 Virginia, ‘18 Yale, ‘17 Maryland, and ‘15 Denver all had the most or were tied for the most, just in recent years). North Carolina was the exception and won in ‘16 with only 1 1st team All-American).
Also do we have an attackman that can beat the pole on the other team and either score or create offense/a slide?
Around the country, which team will have the most 1st and 2nd team All-Americans? Maryland?
Other thoughts are that I feel bad for Sowers. Possibly one of the greatest lax players ever, but he’s been stuck on just an ok team. Meanwhile Grant Ament (and Mac O’Keefe) look unstoppable to me.
Sorry for so many questions, but you guys are a really knowledgeable group of college lax fans.
