Message: [QUOTE="W'boro'Cuse315, post: 2104853, member: 806"] Was just reading his Write-up in Xander's 2018 rankings. Was unaware of this accolade. It's actually pretty insane if you think about it. [URL='https://recruitingrundown.com/player-rankings/juniors-2018/']Top 100 Juniors – Class of 2018[/URL] [B]2. Matt Magnan, M, Fox Lane (N.Y.) | Prime Time | [I]Syracuse[/I] | No. 2 [U]Magnan became the first sophomore to pick up All-American honors since 1999[/U][/B], netting an impressive 62 goals for the Foxes. Uber-confident and physically imposing, the lefty has excellent range on his outside shot and already looks the part of an ACC midfielder whether it’s a step-down or on the run. As he continues to develop his right hand and other aspects of his game, there’s no doubt that Magnan will remain towards the top of the list. I can't sleep & just had to look this up...how the heck was Lyle Thompson not an AA his Soph year in 2009? He put up 114 pts (60G & 54A), his highest point total in HS, including 7 pts (5G & 2A) in that epic state title game against Manhasset. I watch the TWCS broadcasts of the Section 3/State tourneys (& even the weekly regular season games they'd do back then) religiously & Lyle was without question the best overall player in Section 3 from his Soph. year on. For comparison, Miles was an AA as a junior that year with an absurd 158 pts (99/59). John Greeley was also an AA as a Senior for Lafayette, & IL's #1 recruit, with 72 pts. Other AAs from Section 3 that year: [B]New York-Central[/B] Cathers, James — Midfield (Syracuse, NY/Corcoran, NY) — (junior) Greeley, John — Midfield (Nedrow, NY/Lafayette, NY) — Johns Hopkins Guy, Zac — Midfield (Tully, NY/Tully, NY) — Georgetown Mahle, Steve — Goalie (Camillus, NY/West Genesee, NY) — Massachusetts Poppleton, Mike — Midfield (Manlius, NY/Fayetteville-Manlius, NY) — Johns Hopkins Taylor, Matt — Attack (Manlius, NY/Fayetteville-Manlius, NY) — Cornell Thompson, Miles — Attack (Nedrow, NY/Lafayette, NY) — (junior) Ward, Billy — Attack (Baldwinsville, NY/Baldwinsville, NY) — (junior) [/QUOTE]
