Surprised Meyer is that low. Seems like he was a kid picking up a lot of steam in the class over the past year or so.

Nice job by the staff as the 2025 class might be the best since the Spallina class

Lmao now they are just being stupid with Peck. There is no universe in which he has only 14 guys in ‘26 better than him but 82 better than him in ‘25. This is not seeing the light now that he is not reclassing. This is not accounting for some kind of shooting slump. It is just being stupid. But this will be good bulletin board material for him at least. I will not be losing any excitement over him as a recruit because of this crap. He will have a bigger impact out of the gate than any of our other offensive recruits.

Peck at 83 is absurd, dude was a 5 star top 10 guy in the 26 class at this time last year. These rankings can be ridiculous at times.

Meh, if he was ranked in the top 10 in class of 26 I think he was overrated. I think the JHU attack commit in the same class was better. When Peck blew up in the rankings, was he playing club vs. 26's?

The class of 2025 is also LOADED on offense. According to IL, Peck is in the same vicinity as Justin Tavares, Preston Evans, Natty Mason, Kessler Cox. All guys who have really good resumes. Some of the guys in the band of IL top 45-75 include Logan Turley, Johnny Price, David Disque, Gavin Lynch, Adam udell, Brock Geraci and Jake Meyer. Really good resumes over their HS careers for those guys.

I'm in the FANLAX fantasy league and I'm curious when Peck will get drafted, if he gets drafted.

Peck blew up the rankings by putting up 80 points for Lawrenceville as a "sophomore". That was a much bigger factor than whatever he did on the club circuit. Does that really seem not at all impressive if it was technically his junior year?? He sure as hell had no age advantage during the high school season.

The prep schools these days are where the competition is the strongest, with only some of LI and MIAA in the being comparable. Not to mention it also features several other kids who did the reclass routine. If you are able to produce like he does playing against those teams you are legit. It is really that simple. I trust Posner more than you.

Calm down. I just don't think there's a good reason to get bent out of shape about him dropping in the rankings in a different class. It seems like he's ranked in the general vicinity of those with similar merits.

Sorry for getting too fired up over this (it's what I do best), but it is simply not true that it is a fair ranking for him. The rankings are pointless so yes I should not be getting so bent out of shape, but they are just plain wrong in this case. He put up 80 points, eight-zero, in his first year at attack at Lawrenceville. You have to at least acknowledge that he was not rated so high for beating up on little tykes as the one older guy in some club league. He has produced in a major way at the highest level in high school.

Some good news/bad news with the rankings. SU was last among ACC teams with six recruits in the top 100 (Notre Dame - 12(!), UNC - 8, Duke and UVA - 7. Good news is they are still keeping pace (outside of ND) and can be considered among the "best of the rest". UMD has seven ranked recruits and Georgetown, Princeton and Penn State are tied with SU at 6. I did a rudimentary point system (100 points to the top recruit, 99 to the second, etc) and SU was ranked sixth in the standings behind Maryland and the ACC teams.

Peck being bumped up a year helps the '25 class, but also hurts the '26 class, which now has just four in the Top 100 and was also impacted by Jayden Rodriguez's flip. That class is small with just eight total recruits ('25 class is now 12 with Peck moving up and two late additions). Curious if the coaches choose to fill that class out with late flips/walk on types or if they just dedicate resources to the '27 class. We should find out soon enough.

Outside of the Peck Drop, which really is ridiculous, the rest of these make sense, Filardi should drop after skipping his senior season to chase football, Kittelberger should move up, Meyer fell a little bit, which is fine I guess, the difference between 63 and 70 is not major and Rawson stayed the same.

I like SU's class better than Princeton and Penn State's but i don't know much about the defensive side of their classes. Princeton had been killing it in recruiting over the past few years so a slightly down year makes sense.

I watched D'Agostino closely vs. St. Anthony's and he looked good. He could cover Merrill well and throws hard checks and has good skills. I could see him playing.

Any word on how Pike fits in? I hope he can play SSDM because SU needs size and depth there.

The class of 2025 would've been ideal for Syracuse to get some offensive firepower because the class is loaded and much of SU's current firepower graduates next spring. I wouldn't be surprised to see some well-vetted transfers eventually.

 

[Hawknate144]

As for Peck, this was the analysis tab on him for IL, this was updated a month ago, even if you drop everything a bit for him being now a class earlier, does this look like the 83rd player to you.

Agree on D'Agostino for sure. Flipped around the start of that St. Anthony's game and he had Merrill clamped up pretty darn well.

And really, my bad for getting testy with you on the whole Peck thing. You clearly know your stuff too and I will not disregard your read on this. I have seen a lot of Lawrenceville the last two years trying to find footage of both Peck and Rawson and just really think IL is massively wrong about this one. Will eat crow if he does not produce in a major way for us.

No worries. I like Peck and think he has a different skill set than Anderson and Deere on the lefty side, so I can see them all playing.

I like Meyer and Hahn too. Hahn seems like a guy they can plug in very quickly, at least on the 2nd line.

Edit: I had hope that Meyer was special. Athletic and skilled, kinda like Dordevic. We'll see. After this coming spring there will be a lot of holes to fill on offense, so he'll get his chances.

For the non-hotbed guys, there is very limited exposure after signing day. No more club, no coaches are traveling to Colorado, Texas, Georgia, etc to watch high school games, and there are but a few showcase events for committed players and those draw heavily from the hotbeds with games that are not very competitively contested.

There are lots of opportunities for these guys to volunteer at Goaliesmith, camps, etc and interact with the Inside Lacrosse guys but those are less plentiful in non-hotbeds. So, for a guy like Meyer or next year, Maloney, it’s out of sight, out of mind in the rankings game.

I've never really understood this kind of take. You're taking a one-time evaluation by one person and making a judgment that Peck's better than many others whose one-time evaluations you haven't posted, probably haven't looked at and they don't really matter that much anyways.

If I say my hair is an overall 90 out of 100 (style is 4.25, fullness 4.5, color 4.5), can you say where my hair RANKS among 200 other men my age?

Again, I like Peck. I'm glad he's attending SU.

80 points as a junior but "only" 59 as a senior. I think #83 is a bit low, but it's closer to the reality than what his ranking was last year with the 2026s. He's a 4 star player; he has some really great traits and can thrive in a great offense, but he's not going to carry a team the way you'd hope a 5 star guy could IMO.

The only thing that's bizarre is the cognitive dissonance of the recruiters and some of the coaches. Time after time a kid reclasses and all of a sudden the media somehow thinks they've gone up a level, as if they won't be put right back in the wash when it evens out in college.

I'm from Fairfield County, so I see it a good deal with the amount of prep school reclasses. One of the most notable examples I can remember is Wyatt Bowman (formerly a UNC lax recruit, now a Syracuse football player). He was a solid player in Darien's 2024 class -- saw a bit of time his sophomore year, but was probably Darien's 5th or 6th best player in that class alone. He was so off the radar that he wasn't even in IL's recruiting database. Then he reclassed at Georgetown Prep, and all of a sudden he was a top 20 player in the class of 2025. I watched him -- he was a good player, but he didn't drastically improve after reclassing. He was underrated when he was a 2024, but then overrated as a 2025, despite being the exact same player. It's all smoke and mirrors.
