Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:

1. Jeff Teat, a three-time All-American once ranked the No. 1 recruit in his class by Inside Lacrosse, has somehow become underrated. The projected top pick in the NLL draft might be unassuming, but he’s just as bright a star as his peers.

From the upcoming April edition, check out the must-read feature by Nelson Rice here.

2. The World Lacrosse board of directors announced it will determine the status of the 2020 men’s U19 World Championship in Ireland in April. The tournament is scheduled for July.

3. Justin Lafleur of Lehigh Athletics wrote about the broad spectrum of emotions experienced by the Lehigh women’s lacrosse team after learning that its season had ended prematurely. The message is about much more than just Lehigh and much more than just lacrosse. Check it out here.

4. Victor (N.Y.) has won four state boys’ lacrosse championships since 2015, but its 22 seniors might not even get the chance to step on the field in 2020.

“I would hate to have them not have any semblance of a season,” coach Jim Andre told Will Cleveland. Read the story here.

5. ESPN’s Anish Shroff joined Paul Carcaterra on Overtime this week, and we learned a lot about the dynamic play-by-play announcer. Here are a few takeaways from their candid (and sometimes emotional) conversation about the lost season.

WHAT WE’RE READING

  • Nelson Rice spoke to Spencer Hughes, the subject of the latest lacrosse video to hit it big on social media. Hughes, a junior, dropped his defender, scored, turned to the camera and showed off a No. 8 Kobe Bryant jersey under his uniform. More on how it happened here.

  • DePauw University women’s coach Anne Moelk left coaching Division I lacrosse because she “hated” it. After a hiatus of nearly 10 years, Moelk is back coaching collegiately at a Division III program she’s passionate about. More here.

  • A few dates have been postponed due to COVID-19, but the US Lacrosse National Team Development Program (NTDP) is ready for its second year. Learn more about how players can qualify for boys’ and girls’ U15 and U17 USA Select teams here.

  • John Desko is “a little bit lost” with the cancellation of top-ranked Syracuse’s season, writes Lindsay Kramer of Syracuse.com.
