1. Joey Spallina is ready to take on the pressure of being the No. 1 recruit in the 2022 class. He’s grown up around more college and professional teams that anyone in his class — his father, Joe, is the head coach of Stony Brook women’s lacrosse and a former coach of the New York Lizards.

Kenny DeJohn dives into the background of the highlight-reel talent out of Mount Sinai (N.Y.) who committed to Syracuse on Sept. 15. Check it out now.

2. Out of 1,273 men’s college lacrosse coaches, only 3 percent are Black.

3. Field Yates is a big fan of Myles Jones and Redwoods LC.

Yates, the ESPN personality and host of the Fantasy Football Focus podcast, has been rocking Redwoods LC gear all week on-air. Jones caught wind and reached out for this fun exchange.

Yates and his lacrosse roots were featured on USLaxMagazine.com in 2017.
