Recruiting Roundup: No. 1 Young Gun sophomore Shack Stanwick to Hopkins Ty Xanders November 9th, 2011 0 InsideLacrosse.com InsideLacrosse.com Text Size Email Print Inside Lacrosse's No. 1 sophomore Shack Stanwick, A, Boys' Latin (Md.) committed to Johns Hopkins on Tuesday afternoon, according to a close source. He also considered Virginia, Duke and North Carolina. Under Armour After putting up 28 goals and 30 assists for the Lakers in his freshman season, Stanwick had an excellent summer, turning in strong performances at the Under Armour underclass games, Jake Reed's Blue Chip, Brine Shootout in several events with both the BLC Crabs and Boys' Latin. Here is his writeup from October's Top 20 Sophomore Young Gun rankings: "There will be plenty of players who will attempt to fight their way into the top of the class of 2014. As of now, though, Stanwick is the established No. 1 prospect in this class. As a freshman, the 6-2, 160-pound attackman finished the 2011 season as Boys' Latin second-leading scorer (28G, 30A - second to his brother, Johns Hopkins frosh Wells Stanwick). He continued with a hot summer, participating in the Under Armour Underclass games, Nike Blue Chip Camp, the Maryland Free State Games and with the BLC Crabs. He has the established Stanwick skill level and lacrosse IQ, but his athleticism is the X-Factor. He moves like a basketball player around the net, using his size to attack the cage, create shots and post up his opponents." Shack is the youngest of eight siblings in a renowned Baltimore lacrosse family. The three oldest - Coco, Wick and Sheehan - were each standouts at Georgetown University (where Mr. and Mrs. Stanwick also attended) while Tad finished his career with Rutgers in 2010. Steele, a senior at Virginia, brought a national championship to Charlottesville this past May and won the Tewaaraton award. Covie is a freshman attacker at Boston College and was the No. 2 incoming women's recruit while Wells is a freshman attackman at Johns Hopkins and was the No. 4 incoming men's recruit. Also of note, Shack is the first Stanwick male to repeat a college choice of his older brothers.
