Stony Brook's Joe Spallina expects summer recruiting to be affected by coronavirus

Spallina’s oldest child, Joey, is considered one of the best boys lacrosse prospects in the country in his 2022 class. Spallina is used to waking up at 5 a.m. with Joey for a workout before both of their hectic schedules really start to pick up.

With the sports world coming to a halt in the midst of COVID-19, there is no guarantee that things will be back to normal over the summer. That's a time typically filled with big-time lacrosse tournaments that help players get seen and recruited. Spallina said Joey, who plays for Mount Sinai High School, has the luxury of having been seen during previous summers because he competes with older players. But not everyone is so lucky.

Being a college coach himself, Spallina knows how important these opportunities are. Coaches around the country travel to major tournaments to see players in person. He is unsure what effect the possibility of a lacrosse-less summer could have on players with college aspirations. 

“June is not looking really good with club tournaments, not looking very good for summer camps,” Spallina said, “so there’s a lot of things that are going to be affected, and recruiting is going to be one of them.”
