Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:

1. The January 2020 edition of US Lacrosse Magazine dropped yesterday, and we previewed what’s inside the edition. We didn’t need to do much “Nitt Picking” when it came to choosing Grant Ament, the US Lacrosse Magazine Division I Men’s Preseason Player of the Year, for the cover.

2. Staff writer Nelson Rice provided an in-depth look at the enigmatic — and sometimes paradoxical — Tyler Warner, a PLL star applying to medical schools while simultaneously dominating on the field.

3. A day after revealing Waterdogs LC as its new team, the Premier Lacrosse League office announced that Andy Copelan will be the expansion team’s coach.

4. The 2020 Spring Premiere begins Saturday in San Antonio. Here’s what to watch for.

5. Eight of the 26 U19 participants this weekend exemplify the growth of the game. Their hometowns will make you do a double take.
