#12 Grant Mitchell, M, Calvert Hall MD, OSU
#16 Conor Calderone, FO, Massapequa NY, UMD
#17 Canyon Birch, A, Manasquan HJ, PSU
#18 Ryan Schriber, D, Wilton CT., Michigan
#22 Logan McNaney, G, Salisbury CT, UMD
#23 Josh Zawada, A, Hill Academy Ont., Michigan

Where are Hopkins' guys????

Gottcha, it didn't look very frisky. I am quite familiar with Schriber and McNaney, both will excel in college. I am very curious to see how Birch does. Enormous stats vs mostly middling competition in high school. Several players with similar backgrounds have thrived at the next level, several have been expsoed. Look forward to seeing how he does. Fantastic name.

Shouldn't that go on the Penn State thread?

And they were in the final four this past Spring.

Can you spell football? That and, perhaps, wrestling are the only sports most Penn Staters know or care about.

Volleyball

#5 Maryland
#7 Ohio State

Rutgers wasn't ranked.

I actually like Michigan's top group and they have some other nice recruits. I think I would put them in front of PSU and JHU, and move them ahead of Penn to the #10 spot. Only time will tell.

Ohio State's schedule is out:

They only hit the road 4 times before tournament play (hosted at Penn State this year): @BU, @Bucknell, @Rutgers, @Maryland.

Sure looks like a schedule where you'd expect at least 10 wins.

[Drcthru]

Four road games total!. Guess they haven't got enough money to go on the road.

The 2020 schedule was there but it seems to have disappeared.

College Crosse

A lax scheduling note that a @College_Crosse reader pointed out.

Both @OhioStateMLAX and @PennStateMLAX each had Johns Hopkins scheduled for April 11. That obviously won't work. Their 2020 schedules have been taken down on their websites.

It appears that the games of the 3rd and 4th weekend have been swapped from last season.
