Delaware 2028s Who Should Be Busy on September 9th

Below is a review of five prospects from Delaware who I predict will receive a number of phone calls and texts from college coaches on September 9th.    Duncan turned heads during the 2026 high school season, as he poured in 42 goals and handed out 25 dimes. Duncan excels in transition as well as coming out of the box, receiving a pass, and then swiftly pushing the ball downfield. On those unsettled opportunities, Duncan's speed, imposing frame, and nifty moves allow him to carry the ball deep into the offensive end and then score or distribute. On 6v6 possessions, this lefty can explode past or run through his defender from anywhere on the field and then fire while on the move. Duncan is especially difficult to defend when he initiates from X because he can dodge going to his left or his right. As a bonus to his dodging skills, Duncan owns a powerful and highly accurate perimeter shot. Duncan is the frequent recipient of early slides. He is quick to identify that scheme and then deliver a pass to the open teammate.     Over the last five months, Grapski has played incredible lacrosse, and thus his recruiting stock has skyrocketed. In the spring, Grapski scored 30 goals and dished out 23 assists as he helped push Cape to advance to the Delaware state championship game. Then on the summer circuit, Grapski torched opposing defenses with his shifty moves and highly polished stick skills. Grapski's explosive first step enables him to blow past or dip underneath the initial defender and then charge to the net for a scoring chance. Grapski is especially effective when he initiates from the wing and sweeps across the defense. His ability to cut on a dime to avoid the slide defender is impressive. Grapski can also slam on the brakes and then quickly roll back for a shot. This rising sophomore's ability to dodge going to his left or his right and then shoot/distribute with either hand makes him difficult to defend. Grapski also thrives at unleashing catch and rip sidearms from the wing as well as up top.     During Lukach's breakout sophomore campaign, this versatile pole terrorized opposing ball carriers with his speed, size, and active stick. This past spring, Lukach caused 75 turnovers, vacuumed up 58 ground balls, and was named a 1st Team All-State selection. College coaches will love that Lukach owns the athleticism and IQ to run at both LSM and close defense. At LSM, Lukach can pursue ball carriers on the perimeter for long stretches and harass their hands with slaps and pokes. His ability to press out to midfield on a ball carrier completely disrupts opposing offenses. At close defense, Lukach does a fantastic job of getting into ball carriers early in their dodge and stopping them cold. His ability to turn a ball carrier multiple times is impressive too. Lukach is a high-IQ defender whose slides and double teams are always on point. Additionally, Lukach has a tremendous feeling for when to come off his man and deliver a trail check to the ball carrier. Once the ball hits the ground, Lukach will secure possession and then sprint upfield to create a fast break scoring chance.     The first item that pops about this athletic and fleet-footed pole with fantastic stick skills is that Sheehan is a beast on the face-off wing. Sheehan's ability to sprint in from the wing, snap up a GB, and then turn up field to create an unsettled scoring chance is remarkable. Additionally, Sheehan has a knack for charging in, locating the ball in traffic, and then using his active stick to pull the ball out of the crowd. As an LSM, Sheehan is a true two-way prospect who excels at turning defensive stops or outlet passes into scoring chances. His extra gear and nifty stick maneuvers enable Sheehan to carry the ball deep into the offensive end for a goal or an assist. Defensively, Sheehan is a suffocating on-ball presence who causes turnovers with forceful stick checks as well as crafty lifts, pokes, and can openers.     During Salesianum's run to the 2026 Delaware state title, Taraborelli won 71% of his face-offs, which allowed Sallies to play downhill all season. Then on the 2026 summer circuit, Taraborelli won draws at a 70% clip and scored 26 goals. Of course, Taraborelli is a master at executing clean pick-n-pops and then exploding away from the face-off dot to create a scoring chance for his team. Still, what really stands out about Taraborelli is his ability to sweep, jab, or pull the rock away from his opponent, then secure the ground ball and swiftly turn upfield. Taraborelli's polished footwork, relentless motor, and nose for the ball are the keys to those crafty face-off wins. This rising junior's dynamic speed and ability to protect his stick allow him to carry the ball deep into the offensive end. With his polished, two-handed stick skills, Taraborelli is a threat to score or dish out an assist.
