It's incredibly tough to compare across decades, especially to current teams with the transfer rules, the covid year, and the gaming of the system with PG and redshirt years. I wonder how many 24 year olds were playing DI lacrosse even in 2005? Or 1995? Now most of the best players are 2-3 years older than they used to be, which is a massive problem, in my opinion. (I know it likely won't change, but I'm here to be a conscientious objector.) Four years of high school, four of college unless a major injury...and get lost! And no holding kids back in kindergarten! I couldn't get over how much bigger Shellenberger was this year. Guy always had a big frame, but was thin. Now he's huge! O'Neill was huge when he arrived, but Connor is now built like a middle aged man, since he's nearly there.

That said, Notre Dame was significantly better than every other team this year. I saw them play a few months back and was astounded. Not only are they good in every facet, but even if they took a bad shot/made a bad decision on offense, they simply just took the ball back. I've never seen a team come up with so many 50/50 balls. Their ride, their group GBs, their face offs were just staggering. It's like the entire team had the Matt Abbott 50/50 ball skill.

And then you add in Entenmann.

I'm not an ND fan, but they deserved it and were by far the best team this year.
