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

1. Apuzzo, Arsenault and Kent may be gone, but Charlotte North is here to remind us that Boston College remains as a must-watch team in 2020.

2. The PLL is coming to Long Island for the first time, and players are all excited to play at Stony Brook. Now comes the question: which of the league’s seven teams will be on the bye that week and deny some Long Island players a homecoming?

3. How often is someone one of the best ever at his craft, and also one its biggest advocates? Greg Gurenlian wants the faceoff to stay and is passionate, and creative, about ways to keep it a part of the game.

4. A loaded offense – like every goal scorer back from 2019 – has No. 9 Penn and head coach Karin Corbett excited about its prospects this season.

5. Denver will look plenty different in 2020, but the Pioneers still check in at No. 9 in the preseason on the back of Tewaaraton candidate Ethan Walker.

6. Getting lacrosse in front of new potential players is the goal of the PE curriculum developed by US Lacrosse. Over 3,000 grants have been awarded in the last five years.
