Hey Y’all, welcome to the South Scorecard. This is a monthly column on college lacrosse recruiting in the South. Each month, I will breakdown some of the top commitments on a state-by-state basis and provide some other analysis as well.

Three months since the contact period opened up for 2022s on September 1st, Texas and Virginia have produced the most DI commits with 13 each. Florida sits right behind them with 12 DI commits coming out of the Sunshine State thus far. Georgia and Tennessee currently sit with five and one DI commits at this point.

November was much slower on the recruiting trail, as far as the number of commitments was concerned, we still saw some action. And there were numerous 2022’s flying off the board in the South.
