I don't follow PSU lax recruiting .Does anyone know where we have recruitrd in recent years? Too 20? Better? I seem to recall ACC still getting the top classes .
 
Lacrosse recruiting is insanity. Totally manipulated rankings by club coaches. Honestly pay zero attention. Jeff knows kids. We are going to be good for a long time.
Thanks. I now remember hearing about that in the past too . No doubt we are lucky to have Jeff who seems to have his finger on the pulse of New York and PA HS lax .

Don’t sleep on the dmv.
I live in the middle of it and that party of the mentioned recruiting manipulation. Club team you play on here in central MD has a lot to do with where you are ranked. Lots of good players but lots of overhyped ones too. Jeff is doing well with the jersey area.

Damn, can't they let mt alma mater be good at just one sport...

Prior to Penn State, Tambroni spent 10 seasons as head coach at Cornell (2001-10). He guided the Big Red to a 109-40 record and three NCAA Semifinal appearances (2007, 2009-10), including the 2009 National Championship game.
 
I just posted this on the paid board but another great tweet for recruiting:



Petrone runs Mesa which is one of the elite Philly travel teams. Great to see this kind of support - no such tweet out for Penn

Sounds pretty normal. Usually after you get beyond the A’s and B+’s it’s a crap shoot. Same with pro drafts. 1st and 2nd rd’s usually have a pretty good chance of sticking. Coaches look for kids who fit their system. Trust the coaches eyes and coaching ability. Penn State has not recruited amongst the elite yet here they are.

Yes... I would think this year opens a lot of doors for PSU recruiting. PSU is here to stay on the Lax scene. PSU should be able to recruit against anyone now going forward.

IF they make it to Philly. If they don't, I'm afraid much of this season's run will quickly fade to gray.
 
Here's an extended reach: my close friend's LAX mentor's nephew is the goalie for Penn State. My friend is a well-respected LAX coach and official in Texas. He will be officiating an NCAA tourney (Div. 2 or 3, I think) in Dallas.
