I recollect that there is one 2018 who tried out, a goalie, and the rest are 2019s and 2020s. So mainly rising college freshmen and rising HS seniors.

Any updates on Munro? Wonder if Gray was already leaning towards UNC when Munro decided to transfer. Doubt that Munro knew about Gray. Even though his dad is well connected in the lacrosse world, it seemed to be one of those shockers that you don't see often that takes almost everyone by surprise. ...

At the time of those hires, I would say only Cornell was in the National debate each year.. Granted Towson , OSU and maybe G'town have upped their standing. SBU and Fairfield, ah, no... And, Cornell was in a major budget crunch during both of the aforementioned hires... For example, look where thes...

As always, it will be tough to find scorers, The scorers are there and have been. You can't score when you only shoot with just the starters week in and week out. Look no further than a player like Foster who barely, if ever, saw the field in 2018, then was a bright star in 2019. Another like Spilk...

Transfer portal heating up. First, Gray from BU to UNC, then Scanlan from Loyola and now Brandau from Georgetown. Who's next? Doesn’t Brandau twin play for Yale? Yep, good point. I also missed listing the first high profile player to hit the transfer portal, Burkinshaw. There was speculation that B...

Transfer portal heating up with some big moves.
First, Gray from BU to UNC, then Scanlan from Loyola and now Brandau from Georgetown.
Who's next?

The exact Quote... "I felt Loyola wasnt the right fit atmosphere wise within the locker room. I am looking for somewhere a little bit more blue collared. Looking to go to the ACC or Big 10 but open to options" I get it completely and believe he speaks with and is coming from a place of au...

It must be summer. The amount of news about this player makes one believe that Gary Gait, Mike Powell, or even Pat Spencer was available. Is he really a game changer or just the only decent offensive player in the transfer portal? The kid had 111 points last year. He's the best attackman to transfe...

Since UNC only had one vote, I eliminated UNC and added Johns Hopkins.
If you voted for Johns Hopkins in Other, you can now vote directly for Johns Hopkins.

You may vote and change your vote until Friday, June 21st. If Chris Gray decides prior to June 21st, the poll will end.

agree to disagree...a high paying and high profile/pressure job(unlike almost all D3 jobs) is not the place for on-the-job training. Can't think of any "big time" program that hires a first time HC--let me know if I've forgotten someone... Andy Shay - Yale Matt Madalon - Princeton Charlie...

This came across my google alert. Even in a time of defeat this man still finds a way to take it with class and grace. I feel for he and Rob. Wore the academy on their shoulders and in their hearts. Good people who hopefully will get the credit and success they deserve. https://www.capitalgazette.c...

Update earlier today from College Crosse and Chris Jastrzembski on Chris Gray. They have heard that Duke, Cornell, Johns Hopkins and North Carolina are in the mix. Plus Syracuse has offered him the famed #22 jersey for the next two seasons. No mention of other Ivy League schools, including the early...

Yes I think this merits congratulations to the USNA, NAAA and the search team. Given Joe Amplo's record, character, work ethic, the other vacancies also looking for a head coach (and most likely also chasing him) and challenges facing the program, this is a win in my book. From what I hear, I belie...

Not a thread-jack but has any school in this coaching carousel released their recruits from their NLI? Silly talk I know. 2019 recruits could probably ask for a release from the NLI at school where a coaching change has occurred, but where would they go? They have already been admitted and it might...

Stony brook? Harvard? Marquette? While it would be smart to keep Wellner to solidify the recruiting pipeline, I agree that he is likely to move. Healthy's order seems accurate, now that Baxter is going to Fairfield. Stony Brook would be a homecoming with upside, but Harvard is high profile with lot...

you think it's brutal now? getcher popcorn. Ya' think? So many malcontents and so quick to criticize. Lots of posters thinking the glory days for Navy are easy to revive and are right around the corner. His record at Marquette will probably be posted more than once, so will Sowell's. His every move...

https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/marquette-from-the-ground-up/52113 Another reason to be looking forward to next season. Theme of more from less, mainly under the radar players, should play well. Good luck to Coaches Wellner and Camposa. If they don't stay, they will certainly have excellent o...

College Crosse posted comments about the different head coach search. Joe Amplo was named a candidate for Navy Lacrosse and reportedly spent the weekend in Annapolis. https://www.collegecrosse.com/2019/6/4/18652136/ncaa-college-lacrosse-coaching-updates-fairfield-harvard-andrew-baxter-gerry-byrne-na...

Should change the name of this thread to Sanctimonious Pontificators. Pannell, Myles Jones, Gutterding, etc, etc... and numerous other AAs all did a PG year. As well as many great successful business people, coaches, teachers, parents, etc, etc... I suppose you guys all think Bill Belichick and his...
