The education is great and definitely special. These days the student faculty ratio is like 10 to 1. Abroad programs rated consistently among tops in the nation. High ROI rating. Highest student satisfaction with faculty among our peers. Students can accomplish whatever they want, and resources abou...

Completely agree!

As for Tom saving the day ... get a second opinion. What you said sounded like it came from Drennen himself. I don't buy it. He can't get along with his own department, much less run the school. There's about 9 apps from Wells, and no deposits from them yet. Talking to Drennen about MGMT is like tal...

Ffg, I agree with your last post. I just don't know what to conclude about the portal stuff. COVID, 5th year, grad students, NIL, scholarships, etc.... have changed everything. Opsahl was a great player, but I took him at his word that he had lost the joy of playing. I think he was close to teammate...

Amen to honesty, Ketch.
Q: "Why does St. Joe's win more?"
A: "Because they're better.
And I'd like to post to the Hobart thread:
Q: "How can Hobart win more?"
A: "Play better."

RE: Greene, I'm not worried Great skill, hasn't hit his stride. Daly is behind Wilso and Faiola, and Faiola clearly doesn't like his chances. I'm not so sure he's better than Wilson. What I know is that Wilson's willing to fight it out. Stilwell and Campbell could be valuable one day, but if they're...

Should've been clearer: not that they weren't there mentally all year, but more as the season progressed. To put it another way: is the problem with the whole system or with the system makes/doesn't make adjustments. No first year arrives checked out and still plays.

This won't be a popular post, but I am also wondering whether, if they are hitting the portal, were they really mentally here this year? Maybe the team dynamics were not what they were said to be on the podcasts. I'm really disappointed, but at the same time there seems to be little to do about it. ...

So, they hit the portal tomorrow? What is the protocol for this sort of thing? I would think the AD would do an exit interview with everyone who goes to the portal. And, since the numbers are so low at Hobart these days, I would think there would be some sort of admissions/academic exit interview to...

Heard of three players considering transfer portal in addition to Campbell and Greene. Don’t want to mention names at this point but we’ll find out soon. I’m not mentioning anymore because they aren’t public. But I heard 4 more. And good ones. 7 trying their luck? Have a good time on that trip to G...

I'm not buying the domino theory. If guys go, then they go. Good luck or good riddance, depending on the case. We've had instances of addition by subtraction in the past and will continue to. Just part of sports. There are all sorts of reasons to leave, including fit, academics, home life, grass is...

Jodi Dean 😂 I love it farfrom She’s still wearing leather pants and hanging out in David cross’s basement sharing chicken pot pie. And getting a paycheck but not removed form teaching. I’m sure her value is optimized in research… The paper says she is removed from teaching ... temporarily. If there...

One guy who hasn't been mentioned much for next year is Begina. He started pretty hot last year before getting injured. He's not big, but he's quick and aggressive. Di Tomasso is a pretty big guy. I've heard he has a great shot.

Finally got around to the podcast. As Raymond said, chirping is what Fanlax is for. I thought his summary of the season and what to do moving forward was pretty solid: new systems on O anD that are looser and let the guys play more freely. Work the new systems to fit the guys we have. I even heard h...

Ali is another example of high standards ... after a stellar career in the NFL, all star, Superbowl ring, player rep, I hear he is in a doctoral program in psychology of some type. The student-athlete thing is real.

Nothing wrong with criticism. That's part of the job. Raymond doesn't care about Fanlax ... or at least he shouldn't. His sense of himself as a coach comes from elsewhere. Look at who he's surrounded by. Hobart Ice Hockey National Champs back to back in a field larger than D1 lacrosse. Hobart basket...

Also, FWIW, I'm not sure Adam Hardy would want to be back in Geneva or that Raymond wants him back. I couldn't read that relationship from the outside. If we are talking about Hardy and Ashmore, what about Justin Porter, who was here as recently as last year and is a defensive specialist. And speaki...

50+ guys on a team, and each will have their own experience. I am interested in your experience too, Laxbro19, but am also aware that every team has its internal conflicts. Throw in conflicts with parents, fans, and administration, and it is a pretty complicated job. Can't please everyone. Even wit...
