Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. The National Lacrosse League’s media rights victory lap continued Wednesday when the league unveiled the “NLL Game of the Week” schedule of games that will be broadcast by TSN, the leading sports network in Canada. It’s only a matter of time, it seems, before the NLL announces a similar lineup for ESPN here in the United States.
2. Inside Lacrosse reminded us of 10 college lacrosse players who were idle in 2021 and could be in store for big things in 2022 with its “New Look or New Start” list: Sam Handley (Penn), Alex Slusher (Penn), Mitch Bartolo (Rutgers), Nick DeMeio (Towson), CJ Kirst (Cornell), Kevin Mack (Stony Brook), Jason Reynolds (Notre Dame), Brad Sharp (Yale), Sam King (Harvard), Sean Lulley (Duke).
