Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 3153446, member: 93"] My daughter goes to Loyola Maryland and not surprisingly we’ve become pretty big lacrosse fans. I’ve seen Pat Spencer play several times now and every time it is clear to even a casual observer that he is playing the game at a different level than anyone else on the field. In their dramatic comeback win against Syracuse today he became the all-time NCAA assist leader and he is second all-time in goals. Next Sunday they play in the quarterfinals at Rentschler against the winner of UMBC and number one seed Penn State. If you have even a passing interest in the sport I would highly recommend checking that game out; he is something to behold and he seemed to will Loyola to their comeback today, which required a 6-0 fourth quarter run by Loyola against a very aggressive and balanced Syracuse team that double and triple-teamed him all game. In any event, apparently he’s a helluva point guard also, although he hasn’t played since high school. He was just drafted as the number one pick for the professional lacrosse league, but he says he is going to play Div. 1 basketball somewhere as a grad transfer next year and put lacrosse on hold. He may want to stay at Loyola if he can pull off a hardship waiver because his younger brother is entering Loyola as a freshman next season to play basketball there. No one has tape on the kid and he hasn’t been able to be active in his quest to play basketball because he’s still playing lacrosse. I think whoever gets him is going to get a lot more than they bargained for. His vision, strength, speed and versatility would be incredibly valuable at point, not to mention his maturity with high level competition. It sounds like a crazy experiment, but someone is going to be richly rewarded for taking a chance on him. His mettle seems as tough as they come. [/QUOTE]
