What’s in the water in Ithaca?

This is the last of the 4 face-off men in IL's top 50

We will get ours from the portal.

Two names I’ve had my eye on have committed elsewhere:

Anthony Rodriguez, A, Loomis Chaffe - Georgetown

And

Finley Watson, A, Salisbury - Ohio State

Again this is based totally on geography, not much else. Haven’t even watched their highlight tapes so this is pure armchair recruiting.

Lots of kids committed today, quick roundup

Matt McKane, G, Marin Academy- Notre Dame

Eli Friedman, /O, Belmont Hill - Cornell

Matt Swartz, M, Wyoming Seminary (PA) - Cornell

Andrew Gryzenia, LSM, Detroit Country Day - Notre Dame

Quinn Ball, /O, Chaminade - Penn

Matty Mason, A, Milton Academy - Georgetown

John Rodehorst, LSM, LaSalle - Cornell

I think Cornell has a full class by now.

Any of those Cornell commits doing a post grade year?

Good question. They have seven commits right now, one of which however reclassed from ‘24 (Peyton Booth). Still, it’s a lot of commits already.

 

[nyclax]

means cornell is probably not in play for many if any 5 stars. so they are loading up on lower end 4 stars

duke doesnt have a single commit yet and the vast majority of 5 stars are still out there. that should terrify people

Duck Fuke - just switch the D snd

Michigan grabs off a top 50 recruit:

Smart strategy by Cornell. Spot a market inefficiency and take advantage of it. Wonder if some other teams will regret not taking a similar approach.

I'm sure Duke will have another really good recruiting class, that said there are a bunch of really good teams that don't have a ton of recruits verbaled yet - UVA, UNC and Princeton only have two, Hopkins, Syracuse and Maryland only have one so far. Lots of teams have plenty of space right now.

One thing about Duke, they will most certainly be out for attackmen, they only have one committed in the last two recruiting cycles. I have to imagine Brendan Millon will be UVA bound (and given his brother's history with Duke I'd say that's out of the running), so should be interesting who they target.

Doesn’t Syracuse have two? Bartlow and Kittleberger being the second. Or is that not confirmed?

Kittleberger is not confirmed

 

[CuseAlum87]

Kittleberger is not confirmed

Don't tell Bjorn

 

[nyclax]

big run on goalies coming

 

[Otto22]

Two things:
1. Look as if Cuse picked up a pole from Chaminade
2. Does anyone have any insight how SU is operating now for recruiting? Who is responsible for compiling the list of recruits SU is interested. Who makes the phone calls? Tough landscape to recruit, requires almost a 24/7 devotion. How is SU's current staff delegating these duties?

Bummer not to get a highly ranked local kid.

 

[OttosDad]

Unless Gait and staff are gonna pull a rabbit out of their hat and get a bunch of the uncommitted 5 stars, this recruiting cycle has gotten off to a disastrous start.

Losing almost all of the local talent. Very quiet overall. Two unranked commits, not to say they cannot be good, but it is what it is.

There are like 15 names from the top 50 off the board if even that many. So incredibly early. We are fine. Too early for this type of talk.

There is a lot of time before the Class of 2025 signs but it seems we aren’t off to a good start.

I think your a bit mistaken, Reynolds was originally from Manlius but is playing at a prep and its unclear what involvement SU had with him if any. There really isn't a lot of high end D1 players locally this year, a couple at best. Its 12 days into the recruiting cycle, most of the big schools have 1 or 2 commits, some have none. No reason to panic at this point.

Have to keep some expectations, SU landed one 5 star last year in Anderson and lost their best recruiter in Petro a month and half before the recruiting season opened. The 2022 class was an outlier, SU isn't gonna recruit like that regularly until they get back to the post-season and make a deep run. Gotta give the staff more then 12 days before we can make a determination on where we are at.

The timing of these posts, two minutes apart, is priceless.

Not a jab at you, Jeremy, by any stretch. I was uplifted by your optimism. And then, boom, frickin’ Virginia strikes again.
