You should give stars a good bit of weight. They are given out according to guys watching games and then asking college guys for their feedback. The schools in this area consistently win more games based on the number of kids on roster who received stars, but not necessarily how many stars. The kids receiving stars also tend to go more competitive 1/2/3 schools.
Exception on Military Road for several years.


St. John's has had one bad season under Speaks. Not sure where you get several.


SJC has become irrelevant ever since Garrett Ince left for the HC job at Saint Stephen’s.

Garrett did most of the recruiting for speak and was the offensive mastermind.

SJC underestimated Garrets coaching ability and what he brought to military road program. as they haven’t had nearly the level of success since he left - FACTS.

Hopefully they can beat Ryken this year


So with this 'logic' you think he'll have St. Stephen's in the IAC finals this season?


It wasn't Speaks or Ince. It was Tasty. Put that kid on any of the other top 5 teams and they have the same results SJC had.

The stars rating in my eyes are 50% accurate… you could argue it’s just lax bros competing for attention and being ranked / evaluated by other lax bros.



Outside of the 5 star at GP. Landon had way more starred players: 2/3 attacks; both fogo's; the d mid; the lsm; 3/3 middies plus 2/3 2nd line.

It would be really weird if a top 100 kid didn’t have any stars.

They do a pretty good job considering their top 100 all had stars and almost every single one went to a top school either academically or lacrosse wise. Yes, I wish my kid had squeezed out some stars.
