Best player on the field? I bet 2 Indy players individually have more points than 3.
Give me a break. Randles is a 4 star on IL and NLF and ranked top 40 in the class overall. Indy's guys are unranked low level D3 players.

Can we talk about the 3 other more interesting games?
BF/ Madison and WP/Cosby will be better games to watch.
Agreed, buying into Tambroni's system is the key. If he buys into that system, then for sure he'll contribute. Obviously, it remains to be seen if he does in fact buy into the system. But if he does, watch out.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Ha.

There's definitely some paying your way through some of this when kids are younger (travels teams, etc) but not when you get to the level of a Randels and playing for a team like Penn State, that's all based on being good. IL is pure in how they do things. They wouldn't have been around for a long as they have if there were anything other.
Playing for Penn State? He may be committed, but that’s a long way from playing. Benchwarmer and practice JAG at best- far too small to get significant playing time.
I predict a year there and portal to a D3 in year 2.
I disagree that insidelacrosse’s existence validates their approach to “doing things” right (my gripe primarily with the paid evals), but Randles is legit. There is no denying that. He may not play much his first or second year but he will most definitely be a contributor by his junior year if he buys into tambroni’s system

Or in the Indy/YT fight here but if you think the stars mean much you are very mistaken.
When you pay for these things like you do with IL it cheapens it all.

Indy is 5-7 goals better but it could be close like the Stone bridge game was. It all depends on how often and how long Indy is man down for. High potential for late game issues in this one, especially if it's a blow out.
Stone Bridge D and goal is much better than YT. I am bias as a SB parent.
Having watched both, Indy live and YT on stream. I don’t think YT will know what is waiting for them.
Much better? The team that gave up 17 goals to Langley?

Randles has 142 points this year
And much against weak teams. What did he do against Madison?
Maybe little guy cant hold up for a whole season? It happens.
