Me too, he seems like a Cuse guy.
Also something to keep in mind- we are SB. We dont need to pick
up problem transfers (not that he is) or headcases. Coach is
doing very well on the recruiting circuit and he is recruiting a
particular type of player for each position in his system.
Heck, these kids might even end up better than Galasso. I can
think of a few SB alums recently who have, so why not?
What im saying is, we arent your big brother's SB, where 10
years ago we needed this kid and were willing to overlook
whatever- grades, egos, injuries, etc. Were good enough now.
With that said, with so many attackers graduating, i'd take him.

They took a chance on Brady with a checkered past and that
worked out. Football takes chances all the time with players who
had trouble at their old schools and we have seen the results.
This was an issue of an injury and a redshirt that wasn't given.
If you look at the NC board those guys are not happy with the
way Breschi is running the team. College kids do things, party
etc. If you closed the door on all those players you would never
field a team. They all underage drink and do other things. From
the press release Breschi said academics were not an issue. If
you want to speculate that Gallasso might go to the Cuse ( witch
I think would be a good fit as well for him ) fine. But let's
not say that he would not make a huge difference at SB. He is a
local legend and with that comes followers, kids that have
watched him when they were little, see him at SB and may want to
come. I have alot of respect for the guys that write on this
board but lets not put college kids who party on the same line
as kids who commit crimes.

I know. Moeller too (much cleaner past!) and technically, guys
like Crowley were transfers, technically. I not against it, im
just saying, we are not desperate. Faith in Coach!!!

I will be shocked if Nicky Galasso doesn't end up at Hofstra.

Lots more chatter on the Laxpower threads for both Hof and UNC.
All speculation.
However, i have to question this- he likely had a half or better
scholarship at UNC. Lets assume places like Hofstra have
scholarships tied up for the next few years already, so its
difficult to get substantial $$$ over to a junior with a busted
foot mid year. That just makes places like Hofstra that much
more expensive; and im assuming places like lets say GT or
Princeton dont take transfers (that might have academic issues,
no less).
Then again, all it takes is a scholarship kid out the door to
free up the money to bring one in. And from what im reading,
that is exactly whats happening at Hofstra.

It's hard to beat Stony Brook's price tag even without a
scholarship here. That's definitely one thing in Stony Brook's
favor.

Yeah thats what im getting after- even as compared to most
lacrosse schools- the Patriot, the whole Ivy league, etc. Just
to name a few. Both leagues are expensive and hard to get in.
Laxpower now says he is transferring for the spring. Count out
transferring within the ACC (sit out).
There's also some schools that academically just wont take kids,
or wont take kids that have the slightest academic issues. Im
thinking Ivy schools, ND, the military academies, etc.
I guess a good fit could be places like UMass, PSU, OSU, Cuse,
etc. What about Delaware or Denver???
Here he could come home and play for the family and get a good
education, for a low price.

Galasso: 'Want to See Where I Can Make Impact'
HTML http://laxmagazine.com/college_men/DI/2012-13/news/100912_galasso_want_to_see_where_I_can_make_impact
....Galasso said he has a list of potential landing spots in
mind but didn't want to delve into specifics. "I have to keep
my options open and see what people have to offer, see where I
can make an impact, and see where I'll fit in the most," he
said.
...Galasso did offer an opinion on Hofstra, a program already
speculated by some as Galasso's destination since the school is
located 20 minutes from his hometown of West Islip, N.Y., on
Long Island. "Hofstra is a great program, but I think it might
be too close to home," he said. "I'm thinking maybe elsewhere,
try to get a little bit away and still have that college
experience."
That doesn' bode well for the Brook either...it's going to be a
team close to home but just how close.
