If they bomb out then its time. He has two top 10 offensive recruits in 2018 with plenty of nice pieces sprinkled in. Then he has the No. 1 recruit in 2019. If those players and their teams don't pan out its clear theres a player development issue.
Not sure where you're getting these rankings. There are 2 sets of rankings, Ty Xanders' at Recruiting Rundown & Inside Lacrosse. FWIW, I put more stock in Xanders, as he gets to more events & takes time to provide extensive write-ups & reasoning behind his rankings.
Levandowski, Magnan, Cook you guessed them all right so I'm assuming that I wasn't that far off, all of those guys are considered very highly ranked recruits. I think its safe to say if you don't have played development and success with them then there is a major player development problem.
I'm not going to take time to list them but while we're getting 2-4 top 100 kids & usually 1 top 25 kid at most per year, our ACC counterparts plus Hopkins, MD, & even Michigan now are bringing in 8+ top 100 & 3+ top 25 annually. Quinn in '17 & Magnan in '18 are our only top 10 recruits in Xanders' rankings from '16-'19. As a comparison UNC has 4 top 10 verbals in '18 alone. Another thing to consider is that when you read a recruits' profile Lax Lessons or another write-up following their verbal, we don't seem to get very many kids who list the above programs amongst the other schools they visited or considered. Conversely, these schools are always beating each other out for kids. Now Lax recruiting doesn't have the transparency as far as reported interest/offers like hoops or football, but I'm just going by what's currently available.
This is happening because of the proposed legislation that will be voted on in the upcoming months. The proposal eliminates all contact with recruits before July 1 of their junior year. The aggressive coaches are scared this will pass, therefore they are hammering away at 8th and 9th graders before they can't talk with them for multiple years.
Sad, not good for the player or school.
