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

1. The NCAA transfer portal is heating up. According to Inside Lacrosse’s Ty Xanders, Loyola’s Chase Scanlan has informed the Greyhounds coaches of his intent to enter the portal, where he’ll join Boston University’s Chris Gray among marquee names on the market.

Scanlan enjoyed an exceptional freshman season. He scored 43 goals, the most of any midfielder in the country, en route to USILA second-team All-American honors.

Gray, who some thought should have been a Tewaaraton Award finalist, put up 111 points (49 goals, 62 assists) as a sophomore attackman at BU, ranking behind only Penn State’s Grant Ament and Loyola’s Pat Spencer. He also was a USILA second-team All-American.

According to reports by Xanders and College Crosse’s Chris Jastrzembski, Duke, Johns Hopkins, North Carolina and Virginia are courting Gray, with Cornell, Syracuse and Yale also in the mix.
