2027 Recruiting

[PAcuse]

So we have two schools in the ACC that are fully funded. Did we move up our number of scholarships, I'm sure it was posted someone so apologies in advance. How do we compete with the two schools going forward, I would think even if we start winning at a steady clip the gap will still grow?

Losing the battle to a school that fully funds all 48 LAX scholarships?

Fully funded? Can you explain. I must have missed this one. UNC has 48 full scholarships to hand out?

No Morsell for Cuse.

So Cross and Morsell to ND then.. sick sick sick

 

[Hawknate144]

so our best hope of landing a good attack in this class is to be in some of the UNC guys' ears about how they wont play, and trust me, at least 1 will figure it out and flip, whether that is to here I have no clue, also getting more scholorships will help with that.

And Lagunowich to ND. Keeping pace with UNC.

Unlike UNC, ND has strong attack classes preceding this one, so this is . . . interesting.

Who'd have thought 3 5* attackmen in a class would only be second best?

Cross, of course, hasn't announced yet. So not a lock for ND but it sounds like it.

Is there a source to support that UNC went fully funded? I've never heard another coach or anyone at Inside Lacrosse state that any program was going to add that many 'ships. Really, all the indicators were that no program was going to come close to fully funding.

And you add those scholarships for men's lacrosse, you have to add correlating scholarships for a women's sport. That's around a $3 to $4 million cost per year with no ROI.

I guess I was wrong about Morsell. I won't be rooting for him for sure.

 

[Hawknate144]

I have reason to believe we will be getting an official commitment soon from a Midfielder that plays for the Orangeville Northmen

That's a huge advantage if true.

Max Kruger, son of Orangeville's head coach has Cuse Lax in his Insta bio, hes an IL 3 Star but NLF #56 overall, and based on his 138 points in 35 games in the OJLL and 20 points in 5 games at the Minto Cup at 17, I'm going to lean towards the latter being more accurate. OJLL Rookie of the Year fwiw

Sorry its not Ayden Matthews, though I dont think we aren't out on him, Kruger is more of an Attack than a Midfielder in my opinion based on stats I have seen

See post #763 in this thread where Whitey23 referred us to this article from June where UNC announced that post-House case settlement they have increased scholarships by nearly 200 across their 28 sports.

Carolina Athletics Adapting & Evolving After House Settlement - University of North Carolina Athletics

June 6 marked a historic day for college athletics, as Judge Claudia Wilken officially approved the House vs. NCAA settlement.

Something to ponder about UNC and another ACC school apparently fully funding all 48 scholarships -- will other Power 4 schools (ACC, B1G, maybe including Big East) be able to compete in the sport without also doing so? Will this eventually bring the sport of lacrosse at P4 schools to a tipping point whereby schools will have to decide to either fully fund all 48 (38 for women) scholarships or drop the sport? And will it also affect the Ivys although they don't fund athletic scholarships? What will all this mean for future of college lacrosse?

 

[ohmilax34]

Kruger was awesome this summer as a rookie in the OJLL. I haven't seen him or Ayden Matthews play much field lacrosse, so I don't know how they compare as college recruits.

but that doesn't answer his question. you said you heard unc and another school are fully funded. what's the source on that? what does fully funded mean in the context that you meant it?

eliminating head count just means that any athlete that gets scholarship $ doesn't "have to" be a full scholarship. but it can be. and fully funded suggests they are providing 48 full to the roster limit.

 

[CreaseRat]

no. there is no source that says they are fully funded. nor anyone else.

Correct, there is no article that has come out stating it. My comment is based on multiple conversations with club coaches/HS coaches.

I asked, how is it that UNC is pulling this off and you’re not seeing the same splashes from other ACC schools. They response was, b/c they are fully funding the program

 

[nyclax]

kruger is ranked no. 25 by ty xanders. he is who i referenced recently. i cant believe IL only ranks him as a 3 star...

i would bet a s***-ton of money that no mens lacrosse programs are fully funded in year one.

yeah thats insane, a boarderline 5 star by 1, a mid to high 4 star on another, and a 3 star on the third, just based on the stats and how our offense tends to work, I think Xanders and NLF are a lot closer to his real talent than IL

 

[Hawknate144]

I admittedly don't really pay much attention to Xanders because I'm too cheap to pay for lacrosse rankings and reports.

4 star is appropriate. he is very talented but still has more to prove in field lacrosse. box stars dont always translate to field. but its obvious IL doesnt watch any box at all...
