Hobart 2020

Ego is a funny thing, because that’s completely what it is. Everyone with half a brain knows the deal w the Ag school but just mess with Cornell folks because it’s like taking candy from a baby. I do like my candy.

Greg would have to be on the list for the Cornell job. They have an endowed coaching position there and good institutional and alumni support. I think it is one of the most desirable jobs, but the Hobart job isn't bad either. Both are challenging in various ways. You see a lot of Ivy League coaches moving on to ACC. Tiffany to Virginia, Tambroni to PSU, Tillman to Maryland. Tierney to Denver and now Milliman follows Petro's footsteps from Cornell to Hop. I think it is viewed as a stepping stone to the UNC, Duke, Ohio State, and maybe even the Academies jobs.

Cornell is, allegedly, broke. Heck they tore down the grandstand opposite the Crescent and never replaced it. Not sure where the media watches games anymore. The Richard Moran Endowed Head Coaching job probably pays comparable to the Hobart job--especially given the recent market hit. If Greg can make some post-season noise, he can still catapult to the Big1G or ACC without stopping off at SUNY Cornell. Here's hoping he stays in the lake trout capital!

I'm still pretty surprised Coach Nads wasn't the guy selected. Good for Milliman tho. Hope Coach Ray continues to stay put. Bart has something special going on.

Greg's got a good salary at Hobart, and we are not giving raises to anyone right now (but we are cutting positions). His only hope for a raise is to get an offer elsewhere and use it to bargain. Personally, I think it is a bad time to leave. We are on the cusp of some great seasons, and with those under his belt he'll have his pick of schools later. He has a team of loyal and adoring players, and his situation with the AD is good. Plus he works with a president and BOT that appreciates athletics and lacrosse. Not only that ... faculty who know him like him and his players. Not that there aren't bad days, but it would be a lot to step away from.

Cornell just announced they’re promoting Buczek to HC. Quick move by the Big Red.

And our guy is SAFE!!

Until 2021.

Cornell will conduct a national search following their hiring freeze but according to a source, Buczek WILL be a candidate for the full time gig during the search. The coaching search won’t begin until 2021

They sure like having interim HCs down there in Ithaca

Drinking wine out of skulls. Just remember that.

Anyone hear about seniors that may be coming back?
Rumors are quite a few
Very surprising , unless they have been unable to find jobs and expect the economy is going to make job search difficult??

[oldbartman]

I've heard that Jimmy Lampert is coming back. That's the only one so far. From what I've been told , both Luchessi and Holden have jobs lined up and are testing the waters in case an amazing opportunity is offered to them. All 4 players in the portal have generated a good amount of interest I would imagine.

[Laxmanbob]

I also heard Lampert was returning. Has anyone heard if Muller is coming back or is he also transferring?

[catchnshoot]

Rumor seems to be, Mueller, Lampert, Scott, Hurley all coming back

[Bartman]

A total of 5 Seniors have notified the college of their intention to return next year.

[oldbartman]

Eric Holden will play his 5th year at Maryland according to Ty Xanders on IL Twitter. Sorry to see him go. Thank you for the past 3 1/3 years. Good luck with the Terps.

No one will know for sure. However, I truly believe Hobart would have won the NEC and appeared in the postseason this year. I am already going to go ahead and say that Hobart is one of the best DI programs who has, I believe, never won a First Round postseason game(while in DI). I think that will change this decade.

[FMUBart]

Not sure how "acclaimed" Holden was coming out of HS, but my guess is he attended Hobart given his strong family legacy. In any event, Maryland is re-loading after this abbreviated season of lax. Eric will not have to generate his shots all the time, now. Give him time & space = LOOKOUT!

[catchnshoot]

MD has been active with the transfers, one year bump up
Assume Eric got into a graduate program with the Terps?

Eric was a 2XX AA in Mass. His family ties to the school definitely helped. I'm pretty sure Coach Raymond went after him hard. That has turned into a good relationship with Lincoln Sudbury Coach Vona whose sons will both be on the team in 2021. It also helped us get a jump on Johnny Herlihy coming to campus. An additional benefit of the LS relationship is Coach Vona sees talent that we may not be aware of. A good example is incoming FY Sam Ward from Hingham. Coach Raymond and his staff did a great job helping Eric improve his game each season. I'd say over the past 3 -4 years, the coaching staff has really upped their game and is getting a lot out of these "unpolished gems".
