Scores Wagers Stakes

LAS vs 412 crystal ball challenge.

Welcome to the Lacrosse All Stars vs 412 Lax Crystal Ball Challenge.

In a standard 412 move, we said we were an unstoppable wrecking ball of future telling, specifically relating to the outcomes of MCLA and NCAA games, then we took off a white glove and slapped someone in the face.

Three members from headquarters answered the bell.

Challenge accepted, they said in chorus.

The stipulations are such; eight or nine games will be chosen from the upcoming weekend.

The games will feature some combination of MCLA and NCAA games with a focus on Division 1 games from each league.

No point scoring emphasis will be placed on games.

Each successfully picked game goes to the contestant’s overall winning percentage.

The wagers have been staggering and will be posted shortly.

Highly suggested that readers play along in the comments. Never know when we might launch a free gift campaign.

Without further ado, week 1.

Early season games are usually easy to pick until BYU and Chapman decide to play.

There also seem to be some anxiety surrounding the battle of Florida. The Rollins Florida Southern game is a spilt across the board.

One of the LAS guys hates Duke and was unable to make his selections dispassionately.

Mostly Duluth Club Lax

These helmets belong to Minnesota Premium Lacrosse Club. Their roster features an abundance of Bulldogs.

Nothing wrong with a gold facemask.

The sticker is a homage to a preferred cocktail from the Upper Midwest.

Red chin straps would have been a better call, but the overall helmet is rather fancy.

    Hating Duke is one thing… but picking the Bison? wow. I mean I like Frank Fedorjaka as much as the next guy but that seems to be pushing it!

    The Long Beach kid is listed as a walk-on on Laxpower. So he’s probably not technically a recruit. Pretty impressive list by Michigan so far, just based on the high schools represented. Most of the other MCLA teams on Laxpower have all or mostly regional kids from high schools that aren’t big names.

    How much actual recruiting does Michigan or some of the other top-25 MCLA teams do? Is it similar to NCAA recruiting? Might be a good future 412 or LAS topic.

    Great topic and one that has been debated in the comments section in the
    past.

    I do know that Michigan recruits very heavily thanks to having a full time
    coach. They visit summer camps etc.

    Some teams that don’t have a full time coach but are in the top 25 still
    have a recruiting brochure that they can send out, make phone calls, arrange
    campus visits.

    Club lacrosse is certainly what you make of it, whether you’re a coach or a
    player.

    Thanks for the link love. I’ll return the favor.

    I concur regarding the “horseface” comparison.

    Just going with my gut for the most part, but:
    The Guachos are underrated. Poly will be looking at the game as a guaranteed win; always a dangerous mindset.
    Something just seems off with the Horns.

    As someone who has gone through the recruiting experience first-hand here are some schools (that I know of) in the MCLA that actively recruit pretty heavily. Again, these are just some teams, not all.

    Michigan
    Chapman
    Colorado
    Cal
    UCSB

    My picks:
    1. Chapman over BYU
    2. UCSB over Poly
    3. Oregon over Stanford
    4. Arizona over Texas
    5. Dayton over Elon
    6. Duke over Bucknell

    what needs to be recognized is the university of michigan is first and foremost a superior academic school that trumps small liberal arts schools and rivals ivy leagues one. So most of theses kids being “recruited” probably are coming to the coach to be looked at rather then being “found” by him on the recruiting trail.
