I hope he comes back for himself & the team. Who wants to end your career that way? Get your degree & finish strong. It’s really ok. Wow someone made a few mistakes, shocker. Grow up & move on !

That’s good, the moving on lesson.

Then again, things just aren’t always that simple.
My preference is, being the old head that I am — always, always be the adult in the room.

If there is a way, this year would be the one where the Tigers could use someone with Mazza’s wealth of experience.

And, I’d presume, Mazza could use another year of quality education.

Seems like a no brainer, to me.

From a talent standpoint Mazza would be the perfect fit replacing Sunday. When in peak lacrosse form Jon is a special talent. I know how it ended in the locker room and I would think there would have to be tremendous contrition on Jon's part before Nad's would even consider taking him back.

Per Ty Xanders:
After putting his name in the portal in May, James Avanzato has decided to transfer to
@Towson_MLAX
An Under Armour All-American in 2017, the LI native suffered a torn ACL early in his freshman season at
@TerpsMLax could play either attack or middie for the Tigers.

Avanzato is going to do really well at Towson. He's going to fit well from Day 1. Great locker room guy, too. As a Terp fan, it's sad to see him leave. He's got a great first step and isn't afraid to mix it up. He can play up top or down low, although I think he'd be best play attack. He's probably not the shooter that Monahan was, but he more dynamic as a dodger. He got hurt so early in the season as a freshman that he wasn't really 100% at the start of last season. Now that he's 100% ready to go, and he's going to tear it up. I'll definitely root for him...in any game that isn't against the Terps.

Towson is hiring Providence assistant Matt Musci as their new assistant, multiple sources tell @College_Crosse
. Musci also had stops at Lafayette, Saint Leo, and Drexel (his alma mater). He replaces Anthony Gilardi, who is now the head coach at Stony Bro

I personally feel we deal with enough negative stereotyping about the sport as it is. Having a program literally called Stony Bro seems like overkill.

I copied and pasted that, there was no intention on my part to demean either Stony Brook or the sport of lacrosse.

Coach Musci is great addition, hard working coach who was a blue collar and really good player and knows conference from his playing days. Now two Drexel alumni on staff with coach Musci joining coach Grossi.

Not the shooter that Monahan was? Monahan shot an abysmal 19.5% his junior year and a respectable 28% last year. Hope Avanzato is a better shooter. Now Monahan was playing midfield and he's certainly a good player. He's playing pro ball, but he was inconsistent as a shooter. Did think he was an underrated feeder. Had 21 assists last year.

Seems like a good pick up and hear they are not done.

It's not about talent; it's about chemistry. Nads has moved on. I would be shocked if he came back after what he did to that team in 2018. Yes, we need a big scorer and facilitator to replace Sunday. Get a transfer who fits the bill.

Monahan was just traded. In reality, he is an Attackman. Can play up top on offense, but is a wing player in reality. Best of luck to TM.

Word is Towson hired Matt Musci, an asst @ Providence. He would take Gilardi’s position as OC. He is part of the Drexel tree. Obviously, knows Grossi, current DC @ Towson . See what happens.

I meant that Monahan has a heavier shot and could stretch a defense in ways that Avanzato probably won't at this point in his development. Quickness and speed-wise, however, Avanzato will add a lot of that to Towson's offense. He's fearless, too.

Cool. I was a bit disappointed early on in Tim but he had an excellent senior season. Sure, he's more of an attackman but they needed him to play midfield.

It’s more hybrid these days. Especially w the specialist in the game. TM grew up a lot. He stumbled, to say the least his first year. Became more fluid & had a really good senior year.
