TOP 50 List : Snubbed Players
IL released its Top 50 players of 2024. These lists are click bait, well intended to tease and preview the upcoming season. Like preseason All-Americans, the designation is hollow. Here are impact players I think were overlooked and forgotten. They are the best players nobody is talking about. Braden Erksa – Maryland attack – Terp […]
2023 College Lacrosse Sleeper Players
Inside lacrosse released it’s Top 50 Men’s Players for 2023 recently. Last week, I published Snubs from the Inside Lacrosse Top 50 Men’s Players For 2023.

Snubs from the Inside Lacrosse Top 50 Men’s Players For 2023
Inside Lacrosse released its list of the Top 50 Men’s Players For 2023. It’s not an easy assignment and their five-man committee does all of the work in promoting the “big name” players in the sport. There is no bias and I reject the notion that they operate with an agenda. It can be easy to […]
Breaking Down the High School Lacrosse Class of 2022
“Stars Matter” is a common phrase when I listen to one of my favorite football podcasters and writers, Ari Wasserman of The Athletic, and it certainly applies to high school lacrosse.

Kyle has been covering the game for a number of years, typically focusing on MLL, but does much more. The reason he is joining this week is to talk about his newest project, which is ranking the top […]
Rationalizing My NCAA Lacrosse Poll Votes, Round 1
The thing about a preseason poll is that each voter is really left up to decide what it means to them, or should mean. I feel it’s important to explain my top 20 NCAA Lacrosse Poll for Inside Lacrosse.

RealPOLLitik – Practice Versus Theory
RealPOLLitik is the idea that polls should reflect what teams have actually done. We’re entering the glorious and confusing time when this is possible.
NLL Media Poll Three – A Better Picture
Authors’ Notes: Welcome back to another NLL Media Poll. We got fed up with lacrosse’s lack of polls that tie together multiple media sources, so we made one ourselves. This poll features votes from Inside Lacrosse, the Lax Power computer, and Tyson Geick of the NLL, along with our own Mark Donahue and Ryan Conwell. […]
