Princeton is lined up to add a 4-star commit next season and a true lefty attackman who uses his speed and strength to evade defenders on his way to the net. While he is a left-hand dominant player, he has shown the ability to finish, as well as dodge with both hands from the left side or at X. His best attribute, however, is his shooting. His ability to stretch out the defense with his shot speed and placement, combined with with his quick release in tight spots and his ability to change planes makes him a nightmare for defenses.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["14930"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"A Maryland-bound 4-star recruit, Ridgewood senior [player_tooltip player_id='14930' first='Jack' last='Schultz'] is an all-around great lacrosse player who put up 36 goals and 35 assists a year ago. He is a right-handed attackman, but often uses his left in the proper situations. He has a high lacrosse IQ with a quickness and high-level footwork to dodge against defenders and the strength to absorb contact and finish at the net.

He's a do-it-all type of player and can affect the game in many ways from anywhere on the offensive end. The 4-star Lehigh commit has the ability to play both attack and midfield and can be effective from either position, utilizing an extremely fast shot that can stretch out the defense. Sherman moves very well off-ball and uses quick reactions with great shot placement when working in the crease. He has also shown to be able to handle the ball with both hands, keeping defenders on their toes and making him a matchup nightmare.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["14926"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Seton Hall Prep has a gem in [player_tooltip player_id='14926' first='Tyler' last='Juhlin'], a 4-star who flipped from Holy Cross to Dartmouth this summer. Racking up 36 goals and 23 assists, he's a true lefty marksman with great ball placement, changing planes on his shots to keep the goalies guessing, whether that's from deep or on the doorstep. Aside from shooting, Juhlin uses his speed when dodging and does so with his head up, racking up assists. He also takes a lot of pride in the effort plays and lays his body on the line for possessions. He rides hard on clears, and has excellent ground ball skills, often leading to goals.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["14871"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Paired with [player_tooltip player_id='14911' first='Connor' last='Gately'] at Lawrenceville, [player_tooltip player_id='14871' first='Chris' last='Matia'] hails from Northern Virginia and is another standout set to wrap up his prep career this spring. A Providence signee and 4-star prospect, Matia is exactly the kind of player you want playing X. He has the speed and quickness to dodge past defenders behind the net and the skill to either score himself in unique ways or use his vision to serve one up on a silver platter for a teammate. He also thrives when shooting on the run and places the ball in great spots with his hard shots. He also does not shy away from contact on clears which earns extra possessions for his squad.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b952eb6dd03"} /-->
