Anyone know what this could be in reference to? Not even sure it's about recruiting. There is a lot going on.

Only 1 a defenseman out of Brunswick. Believe his name is Charlie Johnson. In one of this write-ups Xanders mentioned that he was looking at Ivies.How many 5 stars are left on the board?

He SPLIT the chair in two, clearly implying we secured a recruit with a nice split dodge.He pulls it in two pieces.
Two pieces...
Two pieces of a chair...
could that mean two commits!!!!???!?!
What does his even mean?
The two pieces had two legs, you need two legs for a nice split lodge could it be two commits with nice spilt dodges.He SPLIT the chair in two, clearly implying we secured a recruit with a nice split dodge.
It's worth noting that not every 4 star is listed in Inside Lacrosse' database right now. A bunch have just materialized there AFTER committing to a school. For instance, neither Kuczynski nor Wandoff were listed as 4 stars on IL until after they committed to Syracuse, at which point they appeared in the list of 4 stars. Long story short: There are more 4 stars available than what you can currently see on the IL website. That is doubly true for 3 stars. A ton of those weren't initially listed on IL but have come out of nowhere once they committed. The 5 stars however are set in stone and abclaxfan is correct in that the only one left is Johnson.
As for the 4 stars who are publicly listed, I suspect Cuse will be in the mix for Jake East, a midfielder out of California.
In fairness, several of the guys who got 4 stars after they committed were guys I was really surprised not to see in the initial list of 4 and 5 stars. Kuczynski, Malachi Jones (McDonogh/UVA), Will McCulloch (SSSA/Loyola), Kai Prohaszka (Ridgefield/UNC) in particular come to mind.Great observation. Wonder how many kids get "graded up" because they commit to a particular school? Obviously I hope this doesn't happen with the SU guys, but have to imagine evaluators become biased on some level based on where a kid commits to.
FWIW IL lists a "Interested Players" in their database. We discussed it during last year's recruiting cycle, and it is not an exact science. Not every kid makes a list, and the percentages they give out don't always equal 100. It looks like Truit Sunderland did list himself as interested in SU. Jake East, mentioned above, lists himself as interested in Syracuse. Scroll to the bottom to check it out -

Foy and Xanders discuss Syracuse and Joey Spallina from about the 25 to 40 minute mark here and there are lots of good tidbits. Unsurprisingly they are very high on the '22 class (words like "crushin'" it are thrown around loosely) and they compare Spallina to Matt Rambo. Won't try and summarize the entire conversation since I think it's worth listening to but it is very encouraging.
