True. And look how Duke and Cuse, who are loaded with five-star players, can't work as a team to win.

IL rankings are a joke and so is ty xander. His ranking are based off his player rankings. Which are very subjective. Yale won National championship with zero top 100 players

Some pretty wild differences from USA/Nike. First look suggests IL is more forward looking while NIKE basing off last year.

That said, it is just country club bragging rights til they actually play some games.

Awesome. Crazy that we really don’t know who will play and who won’t. New year - new teams

Big drop off between after top 6.

- Episcopal is no good this year
- DeMatha fails to upset anyone.
- Albans pulls 1 big upset
- Heights pulls 1 big upset
- SJC goes undefeated
- Bullis knocks off prep
- NO PUBLIC SCHOOL WOULD BEAT ANY OF THESE 10!

Probably true. I will say this SJC needs to stay healthy. Big drop off with second and third line players. They have NO depth. This is their year. Next year will be a rebuild year.

Watched a lot of scrimmages I’d say everyone needs to stay healthy. 2nd half of these scrimmages have been UGLY lacrosse.

IAC folks still salty? Funny stuff

I do think Gonzaga will get it together by the end of April - they will be a much better team come, playoff time.

Too many athletes in the school for them not to remain competitive with teams in this area and their boys are bought in. You don't see many kids who go to GZ transfer out because they love the school as its a brotherhood.

X1000. I think GZ was preseason top 10 last year. That dumpster fire might not have been too 100.

It's not how you start, it's how you finish! Pre-season rankings, are what they are, pre-season. Fun to debate and get a baseline.

If I recall correctly, last year, Bullis was pre-season #3 in the nation and didn't even finish in the top 25.

St Johns on the other hand was not even ranked in the pre-season top 20 and finished top 5 in various end-of-the-season polls.

Let the games begin!
