Agree- let's hope it turns our way soon!

Rob Pannell wasn't close to being a top recruit. I am not sure Gavin Adler was either.  Look how they turned out.  Maybe the system has something to do with it....

Pannell was a very good not fab recruit out of HS, a Quinnipiac lax intender. At Smithtown West High School he set the school record with 130 points and then set Deerfield's single-season record with 99 points.

Gavin Adler? If you heard a 5-foot-8, 180-pounder pushed attackers around in high school, you'd say, "Well, that was high school." So he was a bit under the radar.

There is no doubt the system has something to do with it. However, all I am saying is that we don't have the number of recruits that we've had in the past years, in this particular recruiting cycle. At least they have not put it out there yet. For some reason, they haven't even announced the entering freshman class, that's usually done by now, on the Cornell athletic website, even on Instagram there's usually a picture of the incoming class. Nothing, crickets.  As I stated previously I'm not railing against our lack of higher star recruits (although that will come to bite us in the butt in a few years). I'm just stating, we have a lower number of actual recruits in this cycle than we usually have by now, and the other IVY's, our peers, have all seemingly out recruited us at this point.

We'll be ok.

Well, we picked up one more recruit! A midfielder out of the Syracuse area. One poster on the fan lax forum says he has a lot of potential and speed! Hopefully we add a bunch more, 3 total recruits isn't going to cut it. Almost the entire top 100 recruits are already committed, none to the Red! As I've stated before, we are going to have a rough few years in '26-'28, unless we can pick this up or get some impact transfers. We lose a ton of talent in the next 2 years.

The breathless daily report of the sky's position vis-à-vis its falling is going to get old very quickly.

Already has.

The fact that our recruiting is much worse than it has been in recent seasons, as determined by the one publicly available rating system we have access to, seems like a perfectly valid criticism.

You missed the word "daily."

Actually agree with bearlover.  Just like draft picks matter, so do top ranked recruits

I don't think anyone disagrees with the concern over recruiting.  The point RichH made was it doesn't need to get posted every tim the recruit list is browsed.
