Now that the schedule has been settled, mostly, we get to talk about lacrosse. Really talk about it. Which is glorious. A real live game will be played on Saturday, and it is awesome.
Ohio State begins the men s lacrosse season with a game against Johns Hopkins, away. This game will tell us a lot about what these teams are going to look like this season. There s so much turnover from last year, that it s pretty tough to get a good read on how things will be moving forward. But I will speculate wildly anyway.
Offensively, Johns Hopkins has all the talent in the world at its disposal. Even with the downturn of Coach Pietremala s final few years, the roster has a former #1 overall recruit and numerous 4- and 5-star players sprinkled throughout. No one can deny they have talent.
