2007 predictions

[goalie1215]

now that the puzzle of preseason is finally almost finished, lets hear who you think will:

1.get into the final four

2.win the championships and who will be the runner up

3.win the tewaaraton trophy

4.who will be the surprise team of 07 (ie loyala 98, navy 04, duke 05, and umass 06)

my picks:
1. hopkins, virginia, princeton, duke

2. princeton over hop

3.matt danowski should win, but i want alex hewit to win.

4.watch for the irish this season. Nd looks like it could surprise some people.

EDIT: i know there is an 07 champs thread, but this is alot more than that.

[ColtsLax]

I still like Denver, they always have a solid team, and they only improve, once again, they have a tough east coast trip. @ Penn state, UNC, AND Duke. WOW, talk about starting off on a tough foot.

[wilsontopowell]

1. Hopkins, Virginia, Syracuse, Princeton

2. Syracuse over Princeton

3. Matt Danowski, will be the most dominant player in the country this year

4. UNC, i think the tar heels get a winning record this year and a ncaa tourny berth


1,000th POST

[ttacka]

1- syracuse, princeton, duke, Virginia
2- Champ Virginia Runner up Princeton
3- Peter Trombino? i dont really know..
4- Penn State definetly

[Espositos Chops]

carolina, hopkins, cornell, virginia

virginia beats hopkins in final

ben rubeor

carolina is the surprise with cornell as a close second

[merrychristmas]

UVA, JHU, SU and ???? OK make it Princeton

Hopkins over Syracuse

Matt Danowski but Ben Rubeor is a real possibility with Greg Rommel a long shot

Loyola...Cornell can't be considered a surprise. Carolina could but they are smallish and probably will wear down during the season. Also, same coaches as before.

[kylezkdlf]

1.hopkins, syracuse, virginia, georgetown or princeton
2. hopkins over virginia

3.depends on which team win the ncaa champion ship
hopkins - paul rabil
syracuse - not sure
virginia - drew thompson
princeton - alex hewit
duke - matt danowski

4.georgetown?

[scruffy221]

IL has a good breakdown on the rankings if y'all havent seen that.
1. NAVY, UVA, Duke, Hopkins

2. UVA- Duke

3.Billy Looney? I really like this guy.

4. Penn State- has All-Americans at every position.



There's your predictions... dont get so pushy

[goalie1215]

IL has a good breakdown on the rankings if y'all havent seen that.


thats why i made this thread. now that we see where they stack up, its time to make predictions.

[DJ Death]

1. Syracuse, Hopkins, Princeton, UVA (Duke and Maryland could be in there somewhere)
2. UVA over Princeton
3. Ben Rubeor, Drew Thompson, or Alex Hewit
4. UNC

[raykessler]

1. Hopkins, UVA, 'Cuse, Maryland
2. Hopkins over UVA
3. Danawski
4. MD's my suprise team, im thinking that after losing one of the best players in the country they HAVE to want it.

[sirlaxalot125]

1.Hopkins, Duke, Princeton, Cuse
2.Hopkins over Princeton
3.Matt Danowski
4.Delaware

[hornetlax]

1.Hopkins,Syracuse,UVA,G-town(mabye MD or Duke)
2.Hopkins over Cuse
3.Danowski or Drew Thompson
4.Penn State

[wilsontopowell]

4. MD's my suprise team, im thinking that after losing one of the best players in the country they HAVE to want it.

they also lost 3 other great lacrosse players who were pretty much the terps offense. if they get to the final four again i think that would be a big accomplishment

[navylaxfan15]

3.Billy Looney? I really like this guy.

There's your predictions... dont get so pushy

Though I am obviously biased, I do truly believe Navy has a legitimate shot at the Final Four and I agree with you that Billy Looney is an excellent player with a lot of potential.

[laxn]

1. Duke, Cuse, UVA, Hopkins

2. Duke over UVA in a tight game

3. Matt Danowski or Paul Rabil although its always gone to a senior

4. Penn State, I saw them at Lax for Leukemia, they're solid and have good depth, I have a lot of respect for them this year.

[LvIlLeLaX5]

1. cuse uva duke and hopkins

2.cuse over hops

3.It always goes to a senior so either rommel if plays asum danoski or the lsm at cuse

4.ill say it will be penn state or harvard

[mack8]

UVA Hopkins Georgetown Duke

Hopkins over UVA

Rubeor- Last 5 Tewaaratons have gone to the champion

Penn State- Great Midfield and Goalie

[shootandfeed]

1) gtown, duke, hopkins, uva
2) uva, hopkins
3) danowski
4) denver...barcus, zordani, kohl, those texas kids good o and d make quarterfinals

[spike191]

1) UVA, 'Cuse, hopkins, duke
2) UVA vs Hopkins (but i really want to see duke there)
3) danwoski looks like he has got this one, espically if duke does well
4) Cornell cuz they are definatly looking good

I really want to see duke in there, it would be amazing after all the things they have been through

[MidwestLAx101]

1.) uva, 'cuse, hopkins, duke
2.) uva vs hopkins, hopkins wins
3.)Matt Danowski
5.) DENVER!!!

[shootandfeed]

if cornell makes the final 4 look for max seibald to win the tewaarton

[VTLaxFan]

UVA,Hop, G-town, Duke
Hop,Duke
Danowski or Zack Greer
G-town

[UVAlaxer432]

FINAL 4: UVA, JHU, PRINCETON, DUKE

WINNER: UVA
RUNNER-UP: DUKE

SURPRIS-ER TEAM: MARYLAND

DREW THOMPSON WINS THE TEWAARTON (SP?)

EDIT: I wrote this stuff before reading the thread

[MNM19]

1) Hopkins, UVa, Syracuse, Duke

2) (A)Champ Winner- UVa (this is a tough one, and, to be honest, I chose Virginia solely because they are my favorite team.)
(B) Runner Up- Hopkins

3) Matt Danowski- Definatly a force to be contended with

4) I don't know if this could be considered a surprise team because a lot of people are saying that they are going to go far, but Georgetown. If not, I think North Carolina may finally have a turn around season.

[bee_laxer5]

1.Hopkins, princeton, syracuse, Duke
2.Princeton over syracuse (syracuse puts up a good fight but princetons def. is just too good)
3.Matt Danowski - best player in the country hands down
4.G-town or UNC

[lhslax1990]

1) hopkins, su, uva, cornell
2) hopkins over uva 12-10
3) max seibald carries cornell to final 4, wins it
4) denver or if duke is a suprise team them too

[BwineLAX42]

Could someone give some reasons for why UNC is going to be good? And I don't think you can qualify any team from the ACC as a "surprise". UNC and Maryland should be there and shouldn't be happy wiht anything less.

As for the categories:

1. Virginia 2. Syracuse 5. Johns Hopkins 6. Delaware

1. Virgina 16 vs. 6. Delaware 10

Alex Smith or Cam Howard

DELAWARE

[lhslax1990]

home town picks bwinelax42...and i think people dont expect duke to dominate in the wake of their problems but theyll be back to their final 4 form, and delaware is not making the final 4 no chance

[d-pole01]

1.John Hopkins, Virginia, Syracuse, and Princeton

2. Syracuse over John Hopkins 12-10

3. danowski (i wish dingman :worship: )

4. Duke becuase of all the contreversy of last year

[JaxLaxdefender8]

1.'Cuse, Princeton, Georgetown, Hopkins
2. 'Cuse over princeton (possibly over hopkins)
3. Danowski should win it but there should be some great players this year.
4. Denver or OSU look for them to both be great this year

[GoalieBen1]

1. UVA, Cuse, Gtown, Princeton

2. Princeton over Gtown

3. Danowski or Hewitt

4. Denver. i think they'll make the quarter finals.

[BwineLAX42]

home town picks bwinelax42...and i think people dont expect duke to dominate in the wake of their problems but theyll be back to their final 4 form, and delaware is not making the final 4 no chance

I have to represent. Never since the days of a man called Grant have we had such a great chance at the Big Four.

Can't you just root for a man that has coached a team for 30 years, just once? It's his dream to make it to the Final Four just once. How can you not root for that?

[shogunstud31]

I'm gonna have to go out on a limb here...

1.) UVA, JHU, UNC, Duke.
2.) JHU wins the championship over UNC.
3.) Danowski wins the Teewarton
4.) UNC will surprise this year, but I could also see Towson shocking everybody this year as well.

[laxn]

1)
4) Cornell cuz they are definatly looking good
I agree that cornell looks good, but they wouldnt be a surprise, Cornell is a storied program with consistantly good teams. And to add one idea, Ohio State, may be a big surprise, they have a lot of transfers and return a lot of talent to the team that wasnt bad last year. Also watch out for Albany, Fairfield, and UMBC.
