The fifth edition of Inside Lacrosse's ID Experience took place this past weekend at Troy Park outside Baltimore, showcasing more than 80 players each from the Class of 2027 and Class of 2028 as they displayed their talent ahead of November's recruiting circuit.   Alongside Michael Campanile — <a href="https://preplacrosse.com/2025/10/uncommitted-27-standouts-from-the-il-id-experience-part-i">who kicked things off last night with Part I of the top uncommitted 2027s</a> — I spent the day covering the games portion of the event. Throughout the week, we'll be highlighting the standouts from IDX. To start, here's a look at six of the most impressive offensive weapons in the sophomore class, including four promising prospects for the Razorbacks.    Irish's skill set, high IQ, and overall feel for the game popped at IDX, as he served as both the glue and an offensive bellcow. Unassuming, given his 5'6 frame, Irish is a fleet-footed dodger who showed tremendous burst, unselfishness, and a high-level passing ability. One play stood out in particular, when Irish made a clean interception on the ride and absolutely could have finished it himself in tight, but instead made the smarter play and dumped it to off to a teammate for an easy goal. He was wildly efficient across the board, putting up two goals and two assists in a half in Game 2 and constantly applying pressure to the opposition with his energetic and relentless style of play all day.     Augustine is somewhat of a well-known commodity already, having made a name for himself both against players in his class and for a Culver team that features a ton of promising 2028 talent. At IDX, he posted a two-goal, one-assist stat line in the last game and produced at least a point in each game, but probably could have been even more productive. He showed off his excitable, high-level skill set, willingness to take risks (however, there were times he got a bit too cute), and cannon of an outside shot on the run. The athletic Austin native seemingly had little trouble getting his hands free, but also demonstrated the ability to draw slides and dump it off for a teammate for a goal. He fits the mold of a Culver middie in every sense, and I'm excited to see how he fares as a sophomore.     Dale's another sophomore who had been on my radar; quite frankly, he's my favorite '28 middie that I've evaluated up to this point and helped solidify that sentiment with an excellent showing at IDX. It doesn't take long to feel the energy and grit with which Dale plays. He is constantly attacking downhill, sweeping across the top, and drawing slides. Due to his athleticism, he makes it hard for defenders to get their paws on him, so he's routinely creating a significant amount of separation, plus he throws skip passes with confidence. He buried an around-the-world at one point, but it was his sensational screen shot that might have been an even better play and one of the most impressive I saw all day. More than just a dynamic offensive midfielder, he can be found all over the field making plays in all facets.     A big, athletic left-handed midfielder, Parker saw significant minutes for the Cadets as a freshman and looks like he will be a problem for WCAC defenses over the next three seasons. He looked the part at IDX, playing with poise and polish beyond his years. Tough to defend when he gets a full head of steam, he glides with the ball in his stick and keeps getting back to his strong hand, and often back to the middle. Off the catch, he receives the ball fully loaded then can absolutely uncork high-quality shots. Parker is dynamic and well-coached, making a number of highly impressive and smart plays over the course of the event.     <a href="https://preplacrosse.com/2025/10/standouts-from-the-preview-playday-part-i">Written up by Michael Campanile</a> coming away from his dominant showing at The Preview earlier this month as a guest for 2Way, Fournier turned in another super impressive campaign that simply couldn't be glossed over. Known for his ability as a goal-scorer but more well-rounded than I originally thought, Fournier blew me away with his vision and passing ability, often connecting with George Irish. He just seemed to have a knack for making the right play and the right pass, whether that was from below the goal line, or more frequently up top and from the wings. Fournier's incredibly accurate as a shooter, dazzling with his placement, going low and away or offside high to beat a talented crop of goalies at the event.     Beyond just looking the part physically, Struznik is a midfield athlete who has proved to do a plethora of things at a well-above-average level. He provided a scoring punch by posting two goals in a win over the Gators, stretching defenses with his outside shot and hard downhill dodging. He dodged with purpose as much as any other '28 middie at the event and was a threat every time he had the ball, but also did the little things well and was impactful in the middle of the field. Additionally, Struznik did an excellent job without the ball to set up his scoring opportunities. I'd buy his stock now, as he has exceptional upside.
