That is completely inexcusable.
Blue Jays just got embarrassed on their home field on Easter Day.
This is the first game in which the new coaches really pi$$ed me off.

Screw that.
There is lots of talent on this team. That’s not why they’re 2-5.primitiveskills wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 2:08 pm Welp, the band-aid has been officially ripped off.

Hard to put this on the players; you simply can't miss on recruiting as much as we have over the past 5 years.

Season isn’t over.
Blue Jays are in the B1G tournament.
Giving up on this season lets these coaches off the hook, and I am certain neither they nor the players will stop trying to improve.
Just need to go back to work this week and do what needs to be done to win their next game.

It was the same problem last week, horrible, horrible shooting. The same problem the week before that. Opposing goalies have looked great against us. But in addition, the team now can't even back up it's shots. Also, Kirson's confidence now looks shot.HappyHourLax wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 1:43 pm I’ll say it once, I’ll say it again.....stop shooting high to high. This Michigan goalie came into the day saving balls at a 40% clip and were making him look like Larry Quinn.
Talent as defined by Inside Lacrosse Top 50 8th graders? Sorry, Doc. If you are looking at the field and being honest, you might spot 4 or 5 high-level D1 players out there, and none in critical roles (shooters and SSDM being obvious examples). This is going to take awhile to turn around.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 2:18 pmThere is lots of talent on this team.

Blue Jays need to work on a lot of fundamentals. It’s the little things that are killing this team. Changing levels on shots is just one example ... such a simple, basic thing ... yet you have Sheehan Stanwick Burch commenting on this basic issue, and the Blue Jays illustrating her point just moments later.
The talent is there. The coaches need to stop messing too much with the lineup (and their players’ heads) and work on some of the fundamentals.

I don’t see that at all. The young men are putting in the effort. Epstein was winding up for a shot until the last buzzer sounded. Blue Jays have clearly bought into Koesterer’s new defense. They’re fighting hard for ground balls. The effort is there.JHUFan wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 2:19 pm It’s clear the players do not care about improving. It’s almost as if they don’t even want to be there.

There is lots of talent on this Hopkins team, but I’m not sure they are necessarily complementary to each other. Both the coaches and players are trying to fit some talented square pegs into some important round holes (and no perverted jokes, Wombat).
The way I see it, the problem hasn’t been an inability to recruit talented players, but an issue with recruiting talented players who complement each other and make a cohesive whole.
