Some of the best talents in the university stock will discover where they will play professionally this season when the recovery of the PLL 2025 will be held on Tuesday evening (7 and on ESPN +).
Each team – even the consecutive champion reigning Utah Archers – has a need to tackle before the opening of the season on May 30.
We take a look at Tuesday’s draft, of the most urgent need of each team in my large general picture:
Philadelphia Waterdogs
Needs): Dodge
Carcaterra taking: Michael Sowers is one of the most electric dodgers of the attack spot that the game has seen. He always takes a hit. Give her lightning thunder.
Player (s) that adapts: CJ Kirst (Attack, Cornell)
California Round
Needs): Playmaker, goalkeeper
Carcaterra taking: When you are second to last goals per game, and the last of the authorized goals and the percentage of economy, it is fair to say that there are needs at both ends of the field. A threat of dodge that can force a slide and be used in various ways is a start. The writing of a goalkeeper to compete for the departure place must also be a priority.
Player (s) that adapts: Andrew McAdorey (midfielder, Duke), Emmet Carroll (goalkeeper, Penn), Logan McNaney (goalkeeper, Maryland)
Boston cannons
Needs): Left -handed striker
Carcaterra taking: In 2024, the cannons explored many options to the left -handed attack, often asking the fields of field to play this role. The main thing? It didn’t work. Why not write a legitimate elite shooter that you can set in with one of the best wing shooters of this generation to Marcus Holman, while giving Asher the swing to be an even better passer?
Player (s) that adapts: Coulter Mackesy (Attack, Princeton), Owen Hiltz (Attack, Syracuse)
Carolina Chaos
Needs): Proven marker, confrontation
Carcaterra taking: No team in the PLL has scored less goals a season than chaos. You cannot score if you don’t have the ball, so a 37% victory rate at the band has not helped the cause. This elite defense needs help!
Player (s) that adapts: Chris Kavanagh (attack, Notre Dame), Will Lynch (Fat-Off, Notre Dame)
New York Atlas
Needs): Versatile midfielder
Carcaterra taking: The Atlas has an elite attack, defenders who can cover and tested midfielders. Why not add a Swiss knife in the middle of the field that can play anywhere? The problem is that this type of player does not grow on the trees in the modern game, but I know one.
Player who adapts: Sam English (midfielder, Syracuse)
Maryland Whipsnakes
Needs): LSM which can trigger the offensive
Carcaterra taking: The Whipsnakes – and the world of the butt of elsewhere – were spoiled by watching Mike Ehrhardt dominate its position for years. Although the group of Jim Stagnitta has adapted to life without Big Mike, who would not want another game group with a 6 -foot pole traveling the middle of the field?
Player (s) that adapts: Ben Wayer (LSM, Virginie), Jack McDonald (LSM, Maryland)
Utah archers
Needs): Offensive swing player
Carcaterra taking: It is really difficult to find a need for consecutive champions. They have stars and chemistry to win it again. However, each of the last three seasons, they have seen one of their offensive stars (Grant Ament, Connor Fields and Tom Schreiber) on the shelf with an end of season injury. Why not write with mind insurance and get a player who can play the attack or in the midfield?
Player (s) that adapts: Matt Traynor (attack / midfielder, Penn State)
Denver Outlaws
Needs): Defensive thumper
Carcaterra taking: Statistically, outlaws were a defense in the middle of the pack in 2024. Their tight defense will eventually have a turnover; Veterans cannot play forever. They would have benefited them from starting to think about the future and bringing a physical defender who can complement JT Giles-Harris’s ability to play more quickly to dodge attacks.
Player (s) that adapts: Brendan Lavelle (Defense, Penn)
