Youth Served

High school recruiting updates from around the country. What a beautiful city. New stick.

According to LaxPower’s database the following players from Pittsburgh have decided to play lacrosse at the next level in 2011.

Looks like a solid crop of goalies this year in the Steel City and apparently a pipeline to Brown has been established.

Not a huge surprise Coach Tiffany’s brother coaches youth lacrosse here.

Seton Hill is doing a great job keeping in state talent. D2 money and lower admission standards certainly help them attract athletes.

Programs like St. Vincent and Washington & Jefferson are losing the recruiting battles as a result.

We are thinking about doing something like West Side Lacrosse’s Top 25 Elite players in Pittsburgh.

Some other noteworthy states and their production outputs, or examples of the game’s growth:

Florida – 23 recruits 10 D1

most prestigious program – Notre Dame

California – 28 recruits 14 D1

most prestigious program – Virginia

Texas – 20 recruits 9 D1

most prestigious program – Princeton

Illinois – 17 recruits 13 D1

most prestigious program – Syracuse

Minnesota – 11 recruits 6 D1

most prestigious program – Johns Hopkins

These states are working hard to crank out the lax.

Brett Wilson in Texas

Our man in Kansas took his club team to Texas for a tournament last weekend.

Take a look at the action shots.

Neon green ball.

Chewing tobacco advertisement.

What’s going on in Texas?

Rabil Being a Grown Up


New Dyed Stick

Clearly not a @connorwilsonLAS model

Problem 1) Thought we asked for a navy fade, got a black fade.

Problem 2) Colored mesh is super hard. Ramped up break in time.

Bean Pot

A hockey tradition and no one seems to care that Harvard is playing Boston College.

Far more in attendance for the Northeastern BU game

Preppy sports and dirty accents. That’s what New England does.

Kopitar demos our favorite shootout move

NOOOOOOOOO

Bieber you can do so much better!

That Hot Topic vest isn’t helping either.

Of course we are talking about Ke$ha.

Bieber can no wrong. EVER.

Notes

In scrimmage action, Michigan State beat Dayton 5-4

Club team action in Minnesota, mostly Duluth boys

Florida beat FSU in a box scrimmage in Orlando, 15-11

JWoww is doing Playboy, Snooki isn’t

Dare you tell us to stop promoting Bieber

    When I saw Bieber I thought he was a lesbian woman, whoops.

    the dye job is pretty sweet. simple but well done. the fade work is nice. the black even looks good although I can see how you’d want Navy… the mesh? FUG. I’m having the same problem with a piece of colored mesh… no matter what I do, it stays rock hard. F that stuff. I really hope the colored marc mesh is legit. better be for $50 or whatever it costs!

    Got my marc mesh in last summer. As advertised, it breaks in instantly. But wait, it’s a trick, because then it secretly keeps breaking in over the course of the next week or two. You’ll be adjusting your shooting strings every 4 and a half seconds for awhile. But once it’s broken in, that’s that. The sidewall strings are made of adamantium and show no signs of wear, months later.

    interesting that fsu lost. mind you, it was only an indoor scrimmage, but i expected fsu to be one of the top 5 teams in the mcla this year.

    Indoor lacrosse is certainly a fickle bedfellow. Elite stick skills, cavemen
    defenders, and goalies that can’t defend a teacup net in their fat suit
    padding.

    No idea.

    young biebs is the real deal . charisma like none other.

    As a former goal tender I’m surprised you have the courage to speak poorly
    of lacrosse’s current Ron Burgundy/Paul Bunyan. Perhaps your confidence
    comes from the fact that you are no longer responsible for standing between
    the cold unforgiving orange pipes.

    Ouch. Being called a goalie is rough man. Didn’t you see he was taking recommendations about a hair cut? A little Bieberesque flowcut and I think he’d be a whole different animal

    Hey 412, 2 days and still no talk about Michigan/Bellarmine. I though you were about the MCLA. There are tons of comments about it on Inside Lacrosse. Here in Nor Cal we talked about it all practice. I heard that Michigan Recruits, how is that? This is BS.

    UF’s goalie played/padded box style.

    FSU’s goalie stood up.

    Major difference.

    The user discussion at IL about this game is disgusting. Evidently, club rats disgrace the game in its entirety and Michigan won this game because Bellarmine allowed their little sisters to suit up and play and then subbed in unborn fetuses at half.

  • http://412.LaxAllStars.com 412 Lax

    Discussing it tomorrow briefly. The fact that Michigan has the nerve/ability to run a 10 man ride against a D1 NCAA suggests a lot about Michigan and Bellarmine.

    Always thrilled to be recognized for being different than that other lacrosse website.

    Doesn’t Michigan always run a 10 man ride? I think Bellarmine usually does too.
