Chris Fake was one of my favorite college defenders during his time at Yale and Notre Dame. It’s a shame to say that his career might be near its end with his poor play, despite coming off an injury, and a deep defensive draft class coming up.
Would you rather have your #1 defenseman run around and get lots of GBs and CT or have them shutdown the others team best teams best attackman. If your answer is option 1 then you want Brett Makar for DPOY, if your answer was 2 then you want Brendan Lavelle for DPOY.
Denver needs to have one of their offensive midfielders be a consistent threat and beat short sticks. Anderson flashed tonight, but no other shorty could consistently get to the rack, with Plunkett being out.
I love the PLL because of the parity. The team that won the championship in 2023 and 2024 was the worst team in 2025. The team that won the championship in 2025 is now last in the standings in 2026.
Despite the PLL playing a very physical brand of lacrosse, brutal on-field injuries are uncommon. The most memorable ones are the Tucker Dordevic, Xander Dickson, and now Jack Rowlett injuries.
Great pickup by the Archers getting DiPonio for a 2027 fourth round pick. Utah is getting a former Ute with great upside in a low risk trade. The 2027 draft is going to have low depth I. The later rounds.
Had the opportunity to watch the U.S. Men’s National Lacrosse team scrimmage today. Absolutely unbelievable. I have no idea how this roster is to be cut to 22 guys. Seth Tierney emphasized versatility and durability for his roster construction.
