[RIT37FO]

the real question is

can any college/pro coaches/players pick you out of a line up of people who say they know them

[AlbanyPower25]

haha i know Coach Marr can im not sure about everyone else

[RIT37FO]

no i wasnt saying that you dont know those guys but I am sure someone will come on here and say they know kyle harrison because they wrote on his myspace wall

[faceofflax15]

I email with Aj Shannon reguarly... And I think Jeff Sonke could pick me out a line-up.. But that's it.

[laxmiddi307]

Jason Weischedel (Weischedizzle). Hes my brother. lol. I also know Greg Penet iif I spelled it right. He plays for colgate.

[lhslaxer22]

Tim Booth from the Dragons/Stealth, me and my friend went to his camp and he came up to say hi to us after a Dragons game.

[CornerPicker22]

Is there ever any discussion on these kinds of threads or is this just another excuse for people to type/brag?

My neighbor plays club lacrosse for a small school in southern Oregon.. he could definitely pick me out of a lineup...

[shiftylax]

A lot of pro guys want to beat me up...does that count?

[aaphs84]

I am a pro guy, but I have no friends.

[Dadabhoy_Muzzi]

Not from field but Carter Livingstone could pick me out of a crowd. He was my exercise science teacher and my coach.
Jim Veltman might know me. I played his team many times and I heard from my coaches that he was impressed with me.

[missouri lax]

I know Stefan McGowen who is a backup defender at Syracuse, and I know a bunch of other guys who play for smaller less known colleges.

[Rizzle]

I don't have the hookups like most of you guys, but at a summer camp Eric Genova, assistant coach at Cornell coached me. He was an awesome guy.

[RIT37FO]

A lot of pro guys want to beat me up...does that count?

ill find you someday

[shiftylax]

You lack ground game, RIT. You lack ground game.

[RenegadesLax24]

I've played indoor lacrosse with mike culver and a bunch of other guys from the machine...but culver is the only one that could pick me out of line up since we played on the same team for a while.

[Bowchicka]

One of my friend's gf's older brother plays for Viginia, His name is Ryan Burns. I also played a little bit of indoor and summer league with him. Hes pretty sick.

[:)lax]

dick edell is my grandpa in law

[laxmister22]

a friend of mine knows John Danowski really well.

[Biolink]

Micheal Culver from the Chicago Machine is going to be one our coaches.He played for Virginia,but I made the mistake and said he played for Hopkins in another thread

http://www.chicagomachine.com/team/players/index.html?player_id=12

[Ojailax]

Doug Locker, G.M. for S.F. Dragons. To start a team at Whittier College, we found him in the admin. office and introduced him to lacrosse. He later became N.C.A.A. coach of the year, is in the hall of fame, and now is in the pros.

[26laxman26]

Well Brodie Merill did sign one of my lacrosse balls so id say we're pretty good friends! :nut:. But seriously Chris Ryan, coach of Mercyhurst, is coming to do a clinic this sunday for us and i went to one of his camps last summer, im kinda friends with him but he definately couldnt pick me out of a lineup. thats probly the closest i am to anyone from the lacrosse world.

[itsthatkid]

I'm sort of friends with Nolan Godfrey, who will be playing with the cannons this year. Hes coached 2 camps I've been to and we're pretty friendly, could pick me out of a lineup no doubt. hes setting up a clinic in my town to get kids into it actually.

Also, I met shifty...But hes not a pro, just a BA.

[torreylax]

Sean mcgonnigle(did i spell it right?) from syracuse could probably pick me out of line.

[OPRFlongpole]

kevin levelle. Hes at tourneys and camps all ober the midwest, and i always seem to end up where he is. Weve played catch, mini lax and he could pick me out of a lineup by name, if that makes sense.

[ByrdDpole]

Uhh...Mike Pressler came to Shreveport to do a clinic that I was at..does that count?

[Nanaimo_Lax]

I was coached someone who made team canada in 1990. He'd definitely be able to pick me out of a crowd.

[kleinlax-75]

ryan boyle called my house to see if i was going to his camp cause i am a loyal trilogy camper so he was making sure i was going, so yes i have talked to ryan boyle on the phone on a personal level and have been coached by him many times

[WAXmyLAX]

I'm doing rhino winter lacrosse in Oregon, coached, of course, by ryan powell. He probably couldn't pick me out yet, but he will by the end of the league. Brodie Merrill and Brian Silcott also are going to coach. And Danny Ernst, who was a Lumberjax player two years ago, coached at a summer camp I went to, and we hung out a little there - he probably couldn't pick me out now, but could a while ago.

[eck4rd]

i know kevin mcdonough (thats def not how you spell it) plays d for hofstra...ate at his house before and stuff

[HdGLaxWarrior]

my old coach is kyle harrison's personal trainer.

[AlbanyPower25]

umm i went 2 years ago and i was in 8th grade, im from Shen, Green and Black Cpx, i was bunking with 2 older kids from Albany Academy, Zach Pop, and Geoff Ulmer

[thedamnedfan]

I used to talk to Brian Silcot, the old San Francisco Dragons head coach. Was a camp director, got along pretty good with him there, more conversation with him than anyone else, since I was one of the older ones there, I was between junior and senior year, most were sophomore to juniors and younger.

Kept contact with him in emails for a while, havnt talked for a while. Not sure if he could pick me out anymore.

[AttackMan18]

Eric Martin
Steve Holmes(work with him at a lax store)
Matt Ogelsby
Cooper Helfet

I have talked to:
Mike Kimmel
Stephen Peyser
Micheal Doneger
Eric Zerrault

[njone42]

Sean mcgonnigle(did i spell it right?) from syracuse could probably pick me out of line.

Hay so have I, but he might not be able to pick me out of a line. But I know Alex Cade can.

[lebolax44]

I personally know Zack Boyt, osu freshman middie, Jeremy Tissenbaum, hobart freshman middie, and Rob Marasti, robert morris freshman middie/attack.
Also, one of my sisters friends went to highschool at Bethesda, i think, and he is friends with Danny Glading. He also personally knows Paul Rabil, Ben Rubeor, and Brad Ross. He said that Paul is a cocky jerk, which i can believe, and said Ben Rubeor is a complete idiot. If anyone knows about the story where Ben was in a car crash and almost died, you probably didnt hear that he was drunk. Well he was. There was nothing bad said about Brad Ross.

[Chas]

I drive bye peoples houses and wait outside for them....

[BLUEJAYSFAN9]

I know Garret Pedley UA Defender, he could pick me out...and kyle harrison, might be able to pick my dad out of a line lol..and have talked to kevin huntley a couple times

[lplaxOhopeful]

Well living in Utah i basically know a lot of the BYU team. Some have coached me and others were at a local camp. They're pretty cool.
