I put very little, if any, value into IL's ranking of recruits.OuttaNowhereWregget wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 4:28 amMadison Sterling, Demma Hall and Jordyn Lipkin--midfielders all in the class of '21 and headed to College Park. Supposedly in the top 10 according to Inside Lacrosse. Are these in the group you were referring to?@inthe8m wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 5:26 pm Why would anyone be expecting great things out of a team that went 13-10 over the last 1+ seasons? You have to wonder about the 2020 recruiting class that only had one player contributing significantly - KH on D. And, it is not as if the Terps could not have used a lot more output from the 2020s in 2021 (especially on offense) and Reese has never been shy about playing FR. If the 2021 UA Senior Game is any indication, no one should expect much out of the 2021 class for Maryland. If Maryland is on the brink of being a powerhouse again with the existing talent, why do they need to bring in five transfers? How many supposed Top 25 girls did Maryland have transferred to other schools ... Rielly, Flaherty ...? Were the Top 25 girls that transferred out not developing at Maryland or were they overhyped because they committed to Maryland?
Also this "Were the Top 25 girls that transferred out not developing at Maryland...?" What's your opinion? If so--why not?
Welcome to FanLax by the way. I've enjoyed reading your opinions. Always great to have a new "voice" come on the scene.
Oh--and what does FOGO stand for? I saw you used it in another post.
My opinion is that it is a little bit of A and a little bit of B. It always seems at Maryland that if you do not play significantly in your first two years that you probably are never going to see the field very much. I think that is why you saw the two JRs transfer. So, I do not think Maryland develops players and I think players get over overhyped just because they commit to Maryland.
Thanks.
As others mentioned, FOGO is face off/get off. Women's lax has players that also specialize in the draw, but DGO just does not roll off the tongue the same way.
