Stone Ridge certainly doesn't appear to be has dynamic or strong like they have been in the previous 3 seasons.
Lets see if their coach can actually coach when the talent is not necessary there |
They have a ton of talent; similar to last year overall, just younger. Whole top four of ISL are extremely strong. Will be a fun league season. |
I don't get the person who keeps repeating that SR is "young" when they have a lot of seniors and also committed juniors. Schools graduate seniors every year goes without saying - but when a "young" team is one with few upperclassman or no real senior leadership. That is certainly not the case with SR. |
They start 6 Jrs & Srs, so 6 Freshmen and Sophomores. That's not old. |
I only made one of the prior posts, but I think it's pretty straightforward--SR is "younger" than '24, but not "young". Last year they had 7 commits in the Senior class (including several top 20 schools), 4 in the Junior class, for 11 total; and this year they have 4 commits in the Senior class, and 3 in the Junior Class, for 7 total. 36% more Senior/Junior college-bound talent in '24 than '25. The earlier point was that overall, when you include the talented Sophomores and Freshmen they have this year, they are still very strong--just "younger" overall. |
They have many more seniors on the team if you include ones not committed; at least a couple regularly play this year. I am not sure going off just “commits” is a fair approach. What are the percentages across the whole team and not just starters and commits?
They are anchored with a senior commit in the cage, a top senior defensive midfielder, a senior committed low attack, and a UNC senior commit who contributes everywhere on the field. Maybe trying to play more underclassman (by choice) to rebuild for next year? |
I thought 6 underclassmen are starting. What more do you want! |
From what clubs and what age group? I know they had two hero’s green 28s and that was about it |
A cardboard box could have coached that team to last year’s finals given the talent she had and the dropoff of talent at PVI and BI last year. SJC’s new coach is a leader, the only WCAC glax coach in the area with D1 HC experience. She is exactly what the program needs with most of team’s D1 recruits now gone and young players in need of development for the future. |
True only 2 players are known as elite players. They are going to strong D1 programs Drexel and Yale. They will grow and be strong in future seasons. |
SJC's new coach is outstanding. Program builder. |
Whatever makes you sleep well at night |
Yawn. |
Yeah because she did such a good job of building up that D1 program at W&M that they ran her out of the state. |
That’s kinda mean. |
