Best out door venue on Long Island so why not. Fiore is doing

has really done well.

UNC Grants Nicky Galasso a Release; To Transfer for Spring
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -University of North Carolina junior attackman
Nicky Galasso (West Islip, N.Y.) has been granted a release to
explore transfer options effective immediately, UNC head men's
lacrosse coach Joe Breschi announced Tuesday.
Galasso has indicated he plans to complete the fall semester
academically at UNC before transferring for the spring semester
to another NCAA Division I lacrosse program.
"Obviously, it's disappointing to have a young man like Nicky
leave our program. We appreciate all that he has brought to
Carolina lacrosse over the past two years and we wish him the
best of luck both academically and athletically at his new
school. Nicky leaves here in great academic standing and we're
proud of the way he achieved in the classroom at UNC," said
Breschi.
As a freshman in 2011, Galasso was the ACC Freshman of the Year,
just the fourth in UNC history, and a third-team USILA
All-America atattack. He led UNC in scoring with 56 points that
season including 24 goals and a UNC freshman record 32 assists.
After breaking his foot in November 2011, Galasso returned to
the Tar Heels in February 2012 but was never at full strength
during the course of the season. He saw action last year in a
reserve role and as an extra-man specialist as junior Marcus
Holman and freshmen Jimmy Bitter and Joey Sankey played the
starting roles on the attack unit. All three of those players
return to the Carolina lineup this season. Galasso had six goals
and three assists for nine points while playing in 13 games last
season.

This was the worst kept secret in the country. His family
pushed for a redsirt last year after he was injured,and when he
did not get it and was rushed on the field for a secondary role
everybody knew this was coming. If Stony Brook is able to land
him it will be the biggest piece to the puzzle. This guy is
known all over the country and his talent level is just as big
as his name. If I were a betting man I'd say he comes to the
Brook.

Wow does anyone have anything though that is more than just
conjecture? I mean, of course SB would be a fit on many levels-
departed attackmen, lots of $$$ (not sure how much is tied up
though), hometown, instant contributor, academic fit, play in
front of the family, etc. But a player of his caliber would
have to get looks from other places i would think.
Anyone hear anything???

Just speculating but like you said everything fits. Two of his
high school buddies just left Hofstra, not happy with the coach,
so you would think he would not go there. We can only hope that
he sees the recent success of others after they transfer and
come to Stony Brook. I think Hofstra has lost alot of sizzle on
the island and kids see that the Brook is the place to be.

Nagle has to keep this kid in the 631...
Hofstra has always been the school that was rumored but if he
wants to stay home he should really look at what the Brook has
to offer. Hofstra is a dump.

Hofstra is like old soda pop, it's lost it's fizz. Stadium is a
dump. If he wants to stay home and win it should be easy for him
to choose SB. I am no longer concerned with Hofstra stealing
recruits. We have passed them in every aspect of our sports
program. He could be the next in line of local legends (
Jackolski, Maysonette ) to put a stamp on there career at SB.
