We are so very close to finding out who will be on the rosters for the five members of the North American Lacrosse League. This weekend the first ever National Combine will be taking place in Richmond, Virginia at the Clover Hill Auditorium. The combine, as has been reported for a while now, will be run by the USIL like the regional combines were. It will test players agility, as well as box skills, as players are put to their limit for the two day test. Teams should be able to see who has real potential to be a successful NALL player.
Following the combine will be the inaugural National Draft on that Saturday, December 11th. The draft will begin at 1:00 p.m. eastern standard time, and can be followed in many different ways. First, the NALL has announced by calling 712-432-0900 and entering the code 419896 you can listen to the draft results as the draft happens. The League will also be posting all of the picks to twitter using the hashtag #NALLDRAFT. If you haven't yet, follow @NALacrosse, @InLaxWeTrust, and myself @GoodsOnSabres for all the latest NALL news as well as coverage of the draft as it happens.
The draft order goes:
1.Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Shamrocks
2. Hershey Haymakers
3. Kentucky Stickhorses
4. Jacksonville Bullies
5. Charlotte Copperheads
If you're interested, I'll be hosting a NALL Draft pre-show special on the Lacrosse Radio Network an hour before the draft, noon eastern. I will be joined by NALL front office members Anthony Caruso and Dale Weingarten, and ReLax Sundays host, also a goalie who tried out for the Haymakers, Mike Horowitz.
