On today’s episode of the Lax Lounge we have Connor Watts traveling all the way from Colorado to join us in the Lax Lounge. We talk with Connor about his experience being in the ROTC program while playing college lacrosse and what it is like balancing those commitments. The guys then discuss championship weekend for the NCAA tournament with one of the greatest final 4s of all time and the DII/DIII championship games. After that we get into some of the most thought provoking questions that have ever been posed in the Lax Lounge sparking some awesome conversations all across the board. We end with a draft of vacation destinations where some of the hottest takes are thrown out by one of the guys. As always make sure to follow us on instagram @thelaxlounge and vote below for who had the best draft.
