Maryland 2020

In the interview on TerpTalk a 3rd midfield was brought up and to play at a fast pace you need them. So he could go deeper and freshman could show there. Will be interesting to see how list players years next season

It doesn't really seem like the 2nd midfield gets on that much.
Also, with televised games you get longer breaks in the game.

In the interview, Tillman said the two things he values most are experience and trust among players. I’m sure he won’t have an all freshman midfield but rotate them with upper classmen. The current frosh only have 6 real games experience but they had fall ball to fit in. He didn’t seem to hesitate playing Maltz and Brennan and I don’t think he’ll hesitate to use Malever Kelly et al if they show the skill and field maturity that engenders the trust he wants.

Chance to play quarterback convinced Maryland lacrosse standout Jared Bernhardt to commit to Division II Ferris State

“It really good feeling,” he said Wednesday morning. “I haven’t played since high school, but it’s definitely exciting. I was trying to find a place and luckily, Coach Annese said he would give me an opportunity. So I’m definitely really excited to pursue that.”

Bernhardt, who will graduate from Maryland with a bachelor’s in criminal justice and will pursue a master’s in either criminal justice or physical education at Ferris State, said he has been training at Davis Training Systems in Orlando. He’s lifting heavier weight to add more muscle to his listed size of 6 feet, 1 inch and 195 pounds. He said he also has been consuming peanut butter, protein shakes and five meals per day.

There wasn’t anything bad that was pushing me away from Maryland or anything,” he said. “I can’t thank the coaching staff and everyone at Maryland enough for all they’ve done the past four years. I just kind of felt like I wanted to go and play football, and it was right there in front of me.”

The 2nd midfield usually doesn’t get on because the team usually hasn’t had much depth or guys who could make an impact on the 2nd midfield. This year, the 2nd midfield is going to have at least 2 players who have been starters before and shown their ability to score and contribute to goals and make things happen; which will inherently mean more playing time for them.

Was fun re-watching the 2017 championship on ESPNU. Wasn't the greatest or most thrilling game that group had, but always fun to go back and watch that team play, they were special. For how amazing and stacked those top 6 guys on offense were, the defense that day was amazing; basically the inverse of the 2012 championship, once they got a lead on OSU they just suffocated them on defense, every guy played their best game, double teams were perfect. Really an amazing effort, and they weren't going to be denied that day you could tell.

Hopefully 2021 brings a similar result!

Oh yeah! Realguy is back character assassinating Tills again. Missed you, bud.*

* Not really. I really hope you find a new hobby that's healthier for you besides this unrelenting hate.

Almost as good as having Fatty around.

whoa.....I never went after players like this guy., realguy.

You don't think Coach John realized, after the Loyola final debacle (shoot to miss strategy, after winning 80 percent of the FO's )....he needed to change things up ? He'll be the first to admit it.
to realguy:
Club lacrosse wouldn't exist without lying.........get over it. You wanna compete, you gotta compete OFF the field too. Do the extra things. Stand out. Always helps having a HOT mom. True story, around fire and beer, I jokingly said, " I would hire a hot escort to hang with me all day. at CLUB tryouts." Well, one of the guys there did just that. tried out for Laxachusettes. Son a rising 3rd grader , think thats 2027, maybe 28. My buddy was very relaxed after the tryouts. Not sure if it's because his son made one of the 7 teams, or for some other reason

Speaking of extra years, shouldn't ALL athletes get to repeat a year, at any age? With no "permanent record" ramifications......man, didn't think it would happen so soon, but Div. I lacrosse IS hockey....with 23 year old freshman. If only Rabil could start an "amature" , not immature, but amatorture, development league. A similar path , like hockey. V-19 just might be the straw that broke the log jamm on lacrosse benches and rosters.

Off topic, but for those Marylander's out there....this is a nice bouquet for Sen. Mike Miller.

By 2036 the Big will take Washington and Notre Dame. I believe they will poach Texas and Florida from the SEC offering more money, better academics and the research synergy.

That will end it for the B1G and many leftovers (FSU , Unc, Uva Nc State, VT) will go SEC.

The rest to the big East, America East, Big 12 and PAC 12. That makes the most money and advantage for the B1G. The only thing that will stop it is if congress gets involved and stops it or forces the B1G to take more teams. The B1G has already outmaneuvered the SEC for the most money per member going forward.
