Behind the scenes with Michigan Lacrosse
Every year Mike O'Leary, who played for the club lacrosse team, produces a video about the current year's team that they debut at the banquet. Mike worked for NFL Films at one point and has a bunch of emmys for sports shows and documentaries. His NFL Films experience is pretty evident in his lacrosse videos. He did a bunch of stuff for the University of Miami's athletic department too that won some awards. He comes up with a different theme every year. This year's version is called The Will. Be warned, it's about 12 minutes long.

Great video. Thanks for posting. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise. I looked around on the IL website and couldn't find much information about recruiting rankings (I'm sure it's there, I just couldn't find it).
I know the program still has a lot of building to do, but is there any word on where Michigan's most recent and/or upcoming LAX classes rank?
The 2013 class (the guys who are currently frosh) were ranked #18 in the country, which is interesting because it's 4th in the Big Ten, ahead of OSU and Rutgers. I can't find any rankings for the 2014 class, but the IL 2013 class rankings were posted Nov of 2013, so they clearly do that differently than football. Maybe they wait until guys arrive on campus before they rank them.
First two classes were ranked about 20. Not sure where the 2014 or 2015 classes are ranked, but they crushed it with their 2016 class which is in the top 5 right now along with the usual suspects like Duke, Virginia and Hopkins.
Do you know much about Crey Bankes? I think he's in that 2016 class.
