Picks and Predictions

[Dr. Tact]

IMO, faceguard really should be used used only when there is a clear top threat and a huge drop off to 2nd & 3rd options...gets the defense out of sorts when it’s used. Coaches sometimes can overthink and over coach....

Well said.

Skillful kid. Charlotte North, BC.

Skillful kid. Charlotte North, BC.

So glad you posted this Matnum. I saw this on Twitter and couldn’t figure out how to share it here. She is exceptionally skilled. It will be interesting to see if she is as skilled on the ride/back check. Sam Apuzzo was extremely skilled in that area.

[Matnum PI]

Not to minimize the skillfulness of the kid, I don't see other women posting similar videos (though maybe they will in the future) and... Women's sticks have evolved. Again, not a jab at Charlotte. Just an observation about the women's game.

She is talented, but not too many chances for that move to be used...in fact one could argue that if there was a defender on her, that shot might be called dangerous propelling.

But it looks awesome and I am not really sure how she did that first fake shot....wow.

She will need to score alot and with more traditional shots....but again, wow.

And I doubt you will see any other kid release a clip like that.
Frankly I would have been more impressed to see her interacting with her team-mates and getting them involved - you know make everyone around you better and have them feel included...she’s very new there. Better served to be working with her offense. Just my opinion.

Hofstra wins the CAA conference championship

BC wins the ACC and national championships

Michigan wins the Big Ten conference championship and makes it to the final four

USC makes it to the final four

UAlbany wins America East conference championship

Brown takes the Ivy League championship

BC. Wow. And no mention of MD.

Yep—in my way crazy wishful thinking world, UMD would be a mediocre team for a decade or so.

Excactly what I was thinking.

How do we know that Charlotte North, personally, had anything to do with releasing this clip? I’m curious now.

An awful lot is being assumed here. Do we really have any inside information as to how she is interacting with her teammates or if she is getting them involved?

Clips of players doing trick shots and stick tricks apart from gameplay are released all the time on social media.

Accent on both the "way" and "crazy." It's legal now in your state?

I think Kayla Treanor made a name for herself making moves and shots like this in games and seeing them repeated in video. I have a scratchy feeling of the double-standard here: if a boy (you know, like somebody named Thompson) did something akin to this, we'd be happily in awe. I don't know North, not a Duke fan, not a BC fan, and realize that she has to integrate with a new group of women. But taking a 30 second long video and transforming it into an admonition about her priorities seems a little harsh. They're all still children; they get to f*ck around and have fun.

I'm with you. It's just a mess around clip. She practices with the team, plays with the team, hangs out with the team, for the sake of argument, spends 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 50 seconds working with the team, and... making a 10 second silly video makes her less of a team player. i dunno.

Yes, Kayla was called (absolutely robbed) for a dangerous shot (scored on it) similar to the one posted here which is why I thought this move would cause problems in the wlax game.
JFTR, I see nothing wrong with posting the clip......after all, girls just wanna have fun, ya know.

Haha—good one seacoaster. Yep – just an exercise in fantasy for fun. I’d love to see some other way crazy wishful thinking predictions here.

If you know kids on the team, which I do and have heard from, you know not all is happy up in BC land, hence my comments. She is super talented. No knock on the talent.
