A couple things on the recruiting front-
1) Sorry in advance if this ends up not being true (***), but looks like Buff
lacrosse may have picked up a
2018/ 19 verbal commit in
Attacker Charlie Rudy from Novato High School, Novato, California. (***The only thing so far that alerted me into her possible commitment was an instagram congrats from a friend, and a (private) instagram page with her name on it with the short profile on it saying "cu lax '22".)
Assuming the commitment is legit, congrats and welcome to her, and best wishes to her the remainder of her HS years!
She looks like a pretty impressive recruit. Per
http://www.marinij.com/article/NO/20160526/SPORTS/160529834 , she was already named her league's MVP this past season as a sophomore, and led her team in scoring with a very impressive 119 goals and 35 assists in only 24 games, or 6.5 points per game. Per
http://www.laxmagazine.com/high_sch...ine_high_school_girls_top_25_regional_top_10s, Laxmagazine ended up ranking her team, which went 24-0, the #24 team in the country, and #1 team in the western region.
Maxpreps stats-

(EDIT- Wanted to mention it's a VERY MINOR bummer for obsessed Buff fans like myself that lacrosse is the one
team sport that doesn't do the "CUin20XX" tweets when they receive a verbal commitment. Of course, the track and ski teams never let us know either, so the no notification practice is in line with those sports.)

2) I'm not sure of its accuracy, so probably won't add her to the OP list until we see something official, but also wanted to mention that topdrawersoccer.com has listed a last minute addition to Buff
soccer for 2016, namely
forward Lindzy Konrad from Newport Harbor HS in Newport Beach, California, and the Slammers FC (Football Club).
I'm kind of surprised they'd add someone this late, I don't see any new faces in the pictures of the team I've seen, and she isn't listed on the roster, so I'm wondering if POSSIBLY topdrawersoccer made an error?.? With the 1st match ~1-1/2 weeks away , I assume if she IS joining the team we'll hear
very soon, so I'll wait until we hear something official before doing any more research on her soccer background or adding her to the list of players in the OP.
(Of course, if someone else knows she IS or isn't joining the team, let us know. I did a quick student search at
http://www.colorado.edu/gsearch/students/konrad , and she does look to be an incoming CU student, so in any case best wishes to her in Boulder.)
