air force responds shortly after. 1-1
EDIT: Apparently the live stats made an error. air force did not score.
February 26th, 2012 at 1:24 PM ^
LiveStats seem to work pretty well for softball (probably baseball too, but I don't know firsthand) and then are varying degrees of bad for most other sports. Hockey or lacrosse doesn't strike me as the easiest thing for a guy in the pressbox to update on those laptops.

Michigan is basically still a club team playing at the D1 level. I know we show signs of improvement every game, but the fact remains the talent level between us and other teams will be too great to overcome for the majority of the season.

How are we doing in the recruiting game for lacrosse? Scout? Rivals? ESPN? 247? Anything?
February 26th, 2012 at 3:05 PM ^
Laxpower is a great site for lax, it is great for schedules, results, and recruiting. I am not aware of any major lax recruiting site, but laxpower is what i have used for years.
Here is a link to their recruiting part of the site. http://www.laxpower.com/common/recruits.php
February 26th, 2012 at 3:32 PM ^
Laxpower rocks. I have been using that site for 10 plus years now.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:54 AM ^
weas,
Laxpower is good for more recent commitiments, but doesn't have any details and doesn't track younger commits.
You left out the best Michigan lacrosse recruiting site out there! Greatlaxstate which is run by Mgoblog's very own former blogger extraordinaire, Tim. He was in Denver for the games and was posting live updates and has stories up.
Also, for lacrosse recruiting news check out sites like...
Those sites all track recruits and high school lacrosse, and a couple of them do the top recruit lists we're all accostomed to for the major sports.
Michigan is doing really well in recruiting so far, as expected. They will get competitive as their talent catches up to the teams they are playing now.
February 26th, 2012 at 3:05 PM ^
Thanks for all the updates. Wish it could have been better news. What a weird game. Michigan goes up 3-0, then lets up 9 unanswered goals and never got back into it. Weird. Maybe they can get that elusive first W next week - Go Blue!
February 26th, 2012 at 3:09 PM ^
Should be the easiest opponent for the entire season. Jacksonville sit at 1-2 (likely 1-3, play Duke today) and Mercer is 0-4, who just lost to Detroit 7-16.
February 26th, 2012 at 8:01 PM ^
It seems like Michigan can run with these teams until their mental lapse, that allows their opponents to go on a big run. Against UDM, PSU and AF, Michigan was competitive and even had early leads. Let's hope they can find a way to stop the bleeding and keep it close against Jax and Mercer.
