2026 Recruiting
- Thread starter Caliknight
- Start date
Rutgers reached out to Tommy McAneney Shawnee/Team Ten around midnight. He’s a left handed attack ranked 38th on Inside Lacrosse’s top 100
He’s teammates with my girlfriend’s son on Team Ten. He would be a great get for Rutgers if they can land him.

Looks like we just signed 4* and #78 rated recruit Brody Helton. Big middie out of New Hampshire.
Here is his summer highlight video:

Nice pick up. He's a great athlete which Brecht and co love. Will be a beast in between the lines. I can see him playing D mid in our system, though he's very offensively talented too.
Starting RB on their undefeated state championship football team.
Comes from the Tomahawks program run by the the Cameron family. We are building a pipeline there. His highlights are pretty ridiculous.

I'd strongly consider him at SSDM in our system. He will get offensive reps and he clearly has great feet and is quick so he can play D. He also seeks and absorbs contact well which is a huge benefit in broken field situations and clearing. Seems perfect for that role in our system.
Team Ten is a newer club, the 2026 team is loaded with talent and is ranked 2nd in the country.
Rutgers is looking at another Shawnee/Team Ten kid Tyler Rotkowitz. Tyler is a big (6’4”) left attack.
We have 3 very talented lefties at attack on our team. McAneney, Rotkowitz and Brad Barber. Barber committed to Maryland on 9/2

Luke Gouse of West Morris Central HS (Long Valley, NJ), high school of former Rutgers football Michael Burton and former Rutgers lacrosse captain 2001 David Rough, commits to Maryland. Was Rutgers involved at all?

I believe he is a Leading Edge kid and we do not get many of those kids
Cali, I know this is a little off topic, but do you have any updates about the new stadium—location, size, timeline, type of turf, will it host high school and youth events too?
I don’t think it has changed much. GS wants lacrosse out of the stadium.
Field first at the front of the blue lot and then stands ( more than OSU) 4-5,000.
Bubble stays and becomes the indoor facility for soccer, lacrosse and track, (this keeps them out of the new football only facility)
Lacrosse has a nice little complex between the Rodkin Center the Bubble and the New Caliknight stadium!!!

Big pick up literally and figuratively. Has a bit of old school to his game. We are building a pipeline into Team Ten.
Brody Corey (4 star) goalie just committed. Inside Lacrosse #10 rated goalie from Don Bosco Prep. Plays for BBL.
I don't know much about goalie play but it's good to see more highly ranked commits coming, especially from the NJ private scene. We've been making inroads into the mid Atlantic private school scene, especially in PA.
As it relates to goalies, we will have 4 4*s on the roster when Corey gets on campus.

3* fogo George Mavlios commits to RU out of Chaminade on Long Island. I heard from one of his coaches who thinks he's one of the top 3 fogo's in the class. Recruiting is off to a strong start for the class. It's very likely to be a smaller one compared to the last two years.

Love this. With Weirman finally graduating I’m hoping for a little more parity at the X in the BIG - though I expect UMD to reload.
I love the dad sideline video
in the highlights.The kid looks good and if Schommy says he is good then he is. FOGO's are such a crap shoot though and we are going to have to get a couple to stay and grow. this is where they may have needed to add a faceoff specialist as a coach instead of a goalie
We picked up another 26. Jayden Nascimento, an athletic lefty pole from NJ. Two sport athlete who also excels in football. We know the staff loves athletes and this kid is no different. 3* on Insidelacrosse.
4* Midfielder Keegan Nash (Team Ten) ranked 93 on Inside Lacrosse committed to Rutgers.
We are killing it with TeamTen kids. Nash is explosive and can shoot. Could see him getting early PT
Another 4* in the fold. Lefty attackman out of Gonzaga in D.C. We've been recruiting the privates in DC very well. Slick and aggressive. We have a lot of lefty's on the team. How that translates on the field will be interesting. Definitely a different look potentially for opposing defenses.

Yep, he announced on SM.
No idea of his rating but his film pops. He's very athletic, can clear the ball and play D. He also has real offense. I could see him being a D middie in our system but his O is legit. I know the staff wants to get back to running and gunning more. Looks to have excelled in hockey too which is pretty obvious when you see his tape.
We have a bunch of guys from the Laxachussetts club team. Must have been one helluva official visits this past weekend.
Tripp is another lefty. I'm really curious what kinds of wrinkles they can do on offense with all of these lefties.

What's happening on the women's side? Looks like they have 1 commit from NJ and no commits from the top 3 ranked club teams in NJ - STEPS, CLC and BBL. RU had some success a few years ago ('22) led by a core group of players from NJ - Naslonski, Ball, Spilis, Hartshorn, Beneducci, etc. They seem to have a good pipeline from Moorestown, but never see an impact player from other perennial top 10 teams like Summit, Chatham, Oak Knoll, Ridgewood, and Morristown.
Owen Vance is the latest 26 to pledge RU. Nasty long pole from Oregon. I'm sure our guys had a hand in this one.
Need USC to start men's lax. They can start field hockey at the same time to stay Title IX compliant.
They are building a pretty sweet lacrosse/soccer stadium for their women's team right now. It's shocking that building in Ca is easier than NJ.

How much "easier" can be ascribed to the clout and cash of the USC alums?
We've added a couple of new names. Two athletic A/M. Emanuel Jastrzebski from Notre Dame in NJ and Finbar Malloy (already on the all name team) from Fairfield Prep. He's one of the best football players in the state too.
“Elmo” is legit. He’s a Jackson kid and my son had played against him before he transferred.
