2027 Recruiting

I would imagine Cornell would be after Matthew’s they have a long history with recruiting high end high academic Canadian’s. They did just win a NC and have yet to make a lot of noise in this years recruiting class
 
a couple of known 2026 guys liked the post, 1 of them is a 4 star D currently commited to Yale, another to queens(wouldnt be shocked if he flips considering the state of the school, but hes also probably a bit too low level for Feldy to care)

IL top 100 recruit. I want to say number 82. From Rochester area I think.

So this was my recruit for this weekend. Syracuse offered on Labor Day. At least one Big Ten school also offered. He's played left attack since 7th grade (was a midfielder as a youth). Moved to Sweetlax last fall (from Albany Power) and was told he was a middie as they were stacked at attack. Really had a strong summer and had some positive social media attention which helped move him from a regional recruit to a national level recruit.

The kicker is he's pretty young. He's a "summer baby" at an Upstate public high school. Canadiens like Kruger are almost two full years older and I'd guess most national level '28s are as old or older than he is with all the reclassing. Some NE Prep schools have been courting him but he hasnt shown a strong interest as far as i know.

Michael Leo is the comp. Not a complete burner or jitter bug, but fast enough, shifty enough, with real good body control.

Wow was the #2 fogo in the 26 class now going to UNC. odd move with the #3 fogo already committed there

Yeah, will be joining a much more crowded FO room. PSU now a bit thin at the position - the path to playing time there was much more clear.

Kids really are just going wherever they want. Hard to fault them. Everyone wants to be in Chapel Hill (which is a bit overrated in my totally unbiased opinion).

I wonder if their other FOGO starts looking around - Cuse I'm sure would be a welcoming place.
 
People always get mad when I say it, but ask yourself why UNC always underperforms. If you're getting recruits mainly for the ancillaries over the actual lacrosse, it's not hard to figure out.
 
I mean, I'm not even being flippant. Your recruiting ranking and projection is only as good as the other players in your cycle, and coaching and program culture still plays a major role in developing players. Raw talent can raise your floor, but we have a big enough sample size to attribute at least some correlation to this dynamic. Getting a player on campus is one thing, fine tuning them into having the drive and tool set to win is another.

Oh I know, I just thought posting the Steven A Clip would be funny, I totally agree with what you are saying.

I don't think many folks here are mad when you say it - just a little more cautious. I think everyone recognizes that UNC's playoff performance hasn't quite matched their level of recruiting, but UNC also hasn't strung together recruiting classes quite like these last few years, and they're just starting to get going on campus. They've brought in some highly touted players, sure, but their incoming freshmen class and the class of '27 in particular are at another level. They could be just talented enough even for Breschi not to screw things up. And, even with them underwhelming the last few years, they're still 3-2 against Syracuse the past 4 seasons, including a win last year where they were up 6 goals late.

If UNC doesn't get over the hump with these upcoming classes, that'll be pretty obviously bad for Breschi. But something tells me they will have no trouble soon enough. Just have to hope Cuse has the firepower and poise to get it done this year.

Do you know if he’s still coming to campus? I hope so. Despite getting commits from other midfielders in this class, it would be great if the staff kept the lines of communication open. He may have a change of heart over the next year or so—like Rawson.
