It’s the mid way point of the National Lacrosse League season heading into week 10. Who have the best of the best been thus far? Today, we take a look. Midseason Rookie of the Year has to go to Tyler Digby. Tyler is in some tough competition with rookies this season. He gets my vote as a biased Stealth fan and the fact that he leads all rookies in points…
If you missed the first part of this Trade Value series, you can find it here. Before I get back to it, some thoughts on the LXM “draft”: Teams started randomly tweeting out their new pickups before the league could make a formal announcement. All of a sudden some draft picks were forfeited unless the Steve Mock trade produces a draft pick for the Lizards in which case a different…
1st Round Jordan Wolf Attack Duke University The Rochester Rattlers selected Jordan Wolf second overall in the Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft.

The NCAA just closed on an interesting Week 3/4 in its 2014 season. Of the nine games I’m picking to cover this week, Saturday was mostly upsets while Sunday was home to four blowouts. SATURDAY Penn State 8 Notre Dame 7 This was such a close game all around, and I’m calling it an upset because Notre Dame has proven themselves as a strong program in past seasons. Shots were…

The one thing that the MLL has over every other professional sport is the unique ability to select college players before their respective final seasons on college campus. It has its advantages as well as its disadvantages. A team could pick a diamond in the rough and pick the player that breaks out in his final year on campus.
