Burns, I think you're right. Dino coached Unterstein for 2 years at Hofstra. With his PLL experience and ties with Tierney, it feels like that's the way it could go.
This is big, for a couple of reasons. First, this kid can play, and at a position of need. Second, after not recruiting effectively in New Jersey for a number of years, Duke cleaned up in the 2025 class with Pedicano joining Drago and Scioletti. The 2026 group doesn’t appear as deep, but there is real quality at the top with Summit GK Robbie Kiewit and Don Bosco MF John Devir.Confirmed by Ty Xanders of Prep Lacrosse....for every Balsalmo there's a Pedicano.
JT Giles Harris earned the PLL Sportsmanship Award and Mike Pressler named Coach of the Year.Congrats to Duke alum Tyler Carpenter, named LSM of the year in the PLL (in his rookie season).
Brennan goes to Philly with the first pick in the NLL draft, making it two years in a row for Duke (Dyson was the first pick in last year’s draft).
excellent, we need more MFs in more ways than oneAccording to IL, Chaminade MF James Gillis, the number two ranked player in the high scool class of 2026, has verballed to Duke.
The New England takeover of Duke sports continues...More good news, per IL:
“Duke had one of the biggest single days of the commitment cycle, locking up No. 2 overall midfielder James Gillis as the first of four commitments announced on Monday.
In addition to Gillis, Duke landed 5-Star and No. 5 overall Bennett Matthews (Bedford, N.H. / Tomahawks), plus [5-star and] No. 11 overall Tedy Frisoli (St. Sebastian’s, Mass. / Laxachusetts).”
