[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious what the miserable poster above thinks about the Cap Orange player going so quickly. Shout out to her! [/quote]

I think it is wonderful, she should be super proud. If she works hard she can be set up for success, Dartmouth is a great school. But to my point regarding top recruits, Dartmouth isn’t very good, they got smashed by every decent team they played last year. They have had some recruiting successes in the past two cycles, nabbing a few highly ranked kids, but the rest of their classes are typically marginal D1 types.[/quote]LMAO, Dartmouth was a top 25 team last year, they're not very good?  They got smashed by every decent team?  They beat top 20 UMass, got 3 top 30 wins elsewhere, were in 2 and 3 goal games in the 4th quarter with the 3 heavyweights of the Ivy before bleeding out.

Would they get smashed by a top 3 team about every time, and have trouble if they played a top 6 team every week?  Yes, and so would 95% or more of wlax.

That's funny you concede their better recruiting classes are recently (including a 5* and 4 4*s as freshmen for this year), but want to point out previous classes to that weren't as good.  So they may be... better? Won't the 27s be playing with the recent classes and not the ones that have since graduated?

Weird post.  No dog in the fight.[/quote]

Didn’t make one appearance in top 25, week one to the final.

Same here

Lol
[/quote]Cool.  Thanks for the "media" poll of probably 3 people on twitter and some IL writers who hopefully do it part-time for their $30k a year.
They finished 22 in RPI.  Your UMass fave is on there.  They played Brown to a 1 goal game.  I thought they got smashed by everyone?  They played 9 teams in the top 30 RPI and finished 9 and 6, beating 4 of top 30s.  There are 130+ teams in Division 1, and yet you believe they've been able to do what they did with all marginal D1 recruits.  You're a hoot.[/quote]

Lmao, RPI is just an algo, much like US club lax’s, and it is adjusted by humans just like the polls. Who do you think is a better judge of rankings, some computer nerd or the actual D1 coaches that get polled for the coaches rankings?[/quote]RPI was introduced in the 1980s and I believe hasn't been adjusted since.  What "adjustment by humans" do you believe is going on?

Considering RPI is used for really the only reason to have rankings in the first place, the NCAA tournament, and coaches' polls aren't, I'd say the algo.  You quite obviously don't understand how few sh*** coaches care about voting in the coaches polls.  Serious question - are you new to lacrosse?[/quote]

The NCAA selection committee’s own docs clearly state that they use record against ranked teams, SOS based on how opponents ranked, and significant wins and losses using a given team’s rankings. RPI is used too, but so are rankings. [/quote]
