Devastating

I dont know how to look at the portal counts. I did a search for targeted positions for 2024 from colleges and some website came up called sports recruits and it lists 1703 listed needs for colleges. But i cant get any further than that - so not a super credible comment so probably should have cavea...

John Jude will be a great shot in the arm, for sure. With regard to freshman playing next year, if more than 2-3 are playing then we’re in trouble. Hobart doesn’t get the Millon, Goldsteins or Spillinas… Few good teams play more than a couple freshman on their top 10. I’m very mixed in the whole tr...

I think the loss of Considine is grossly underappreciated on here. He was not only the best offensive player by a mile (a 2-way player as well), but he was the glue to the chemistry of a very productive offense. Bach, Delano and Rosa all fed off of his dynamic play. The positive impact of his retur...

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. I don’t think many kids check o...

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....

Patterson was an incredible player. And might have been an archer in the future. I don’t get blowing off losing great players. Would you blame a leaking roof on bad weather? The so what is why would good players leave in big numbers. That’s a coach/culture issue that needs addressed.

Holy crap! Well I guess we will see lots of new faces next year. Can they come back? I remember herlihy went to portal but came back. Or was that because he was grad? I saw all the speculation about Patterson but to have two starters leave seems like a problem. We should have thrown money ant them. ...

Wow, I went away for a few days and seems like there is a lot of action! Seems like some conversations must have already happened if word is getting out. I am not sure if the players have to tell their coach or not? I guess we will find out over the next few weeks or month. What does everything thin...

Anyone hear any info on 2025 returning players? I think the portal is open soon? If there is any information out there, please share!

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 ...

I will add one thought to all - whether that be alumni like us, current parents -or players, or if true, current coaching staff (which they certainly can join in the fun!) There seems to be a theme around what happens in practice and locker room that is either good or bad and most of us have no idea...

Any word on JohnJude? One would assume he is foaming at the mouth to get back out there as one of the strongest midfielders, when healthy, in the A10. As for Michael Bennett, I could see him fill into the roll that 5th year senior and leader Vin Orlando had. A larger enforcer and vocal pole that sp...

It is a fact when you compare with an offense that had Aslanian, Scott, Mott, Knox, Holden and Archer was the only small one amongst them. Madonna at 5’11” 185-190 was on the small side of that offense. It’s not necessary but throw out Barthelme and Ward who both have been inured too much to be in ...

Delano couldn’t hold 30 more pounds - he is soooo good but he’s 5’5’’ at best and his speed and shiftiness is his thing. Rosa is decent build, shellenberg is big enough already but doesnt matter because he never played. Schleicher is good size, Stillwell looks 6 ft, Rhine is 6’2 or 6’3’’, valent is ...

I don't recall DJU ever giving us a "fire and brimstone" speech. The upperclassmen set the tone--per DJU's guidance--and everyone followed suit. It wasn't for everyone & those that didn't buy-in were quickly ostracized/cut. To wit, practices were often more intense than some games. Th...

That would suck. Is that a guess or did you hear something specific? Any word on other players? I think he’s going to be a senior so a transfer doesn’t make sense to me.

Kinslow never enrolled - he was never on the roster or at the school. Not sure if he is “coming back” or not. On the comments about roster size and play time, etc. the comment about kids being wrapped tight in games versus practice is just not what I saw. Kids played terrible in games and there was ...
