That list of finalists suggests Khan wants to win and go to a good (or at least decent) and fun school, all of which is entirely reasonable. But it's still all final four teams. I'd be a fan of a little more year-to-year parity, but I guess that's easy to say as a Hop fan at this point.HopFan16 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 8:36 amThat list of finalists would suggest that the intel that was posted here that he wants to play behind the cage was not entirely accurate.nyjay wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 8:15 amMaryland, UNC, UVa? That's just gross. Shocking Duke isn't on the list. Free agency in college lax isn't much different than it is in MLB, I guess.

Remember this when fans of certain teams act all sanctimonious because their teams didn't take in as many transfers as others. It's not for a lack of trying!
I'm not sure why UVA would even want him—they clearly do not need another ball-carrying attackman. It would also mean three righties on attack and another year of Cormier running midfield. And perhaps more young talent heading for the hills, a la Maher. Would do more harm than good for them, IMO.
If Maryland gets Donville, Khan, and Murphy, they are also going to have some unhappy campers waiting in the wings. And Tillman would supplant Corrigan/Dino as lax twitter's Enemy Numero Uno for the upcoming season.
I agree with you re: Mitchell, seems like he could be a decent fit but given the Calvert Hall connection my bet would be on UNC for him. Especially given how much they lose at the midfield. I'm not seeing a whole lot of other obvious transfer candidates who are middies with multiple years of eligibility. IF there's a good fit I'd expect Milliman to capitalize, but he's also not going to force it. We have 8 offensive contributors returning in DeSo, Epstein, Degnon, Grimes, McDermott, Peshko, Angelus, Keogh, and between getting Chauvette back from injury, maybe a guy like Raposo or Bauer emerging, and the incoming freshmen, there may not be a pressing need for another guy. I like the Bartolo kid from Penn but he'd only be a 1-year rental.
I've said it before, but really wish Murphy had stayed. We don't really need more A-men, but he would have been fun in this offense. I'm sure there's a story there, but from a fan's perspective it's just sad to see him go. Really hope he goes somewhere other than to the Terps.
I don't expect Mitchell would actually come, but he does seem like a good fit. Of those 8 contributors, I don't see that many true middies, other than Peshko and maybe Degnon.
