NLI is today and Collison and Marquis are officially signed. Nice job from the staff keeping this class together — the sharks were circling on some of these guys, including from one school for which a certain legendary former Hopkins head coach is now an assistant. (Not accusing him or that staff of anything nefarious, just pointing out that would have been quite the story line.) Getting Brooks English to flip from Brown was the cherry on top for what looks like a solid first full class from PM and co. Things could have gone
a lot worse for a new staff (now coming off a 4-9 season) but I think most kids are smart enough to see the potential of this new direction at Homewood.
Hopefully, Charlie Iler signed or will sign.
Iler is definitely an interesting recruit.
Iler would be one of the higher profile recruits out of
San Ramon Valley High (CA), the Terps’ Pete Worstell started up
that lacrosse program in 2001.
They’ve had good, solid impact players recruited to DI programs,
Mike Tagliaferri at UNC, Pete Tagliaferri at Georgetown, Austin
French at Denver, Drew Erikson at Denver, two brothers who were
solid defensemen on those Michael Sowers teams at Princeton —
and, other good players recruited to good programs who couldn’t
quite make the transition to D1 lacrosse.
I suspect Charlie Iler is in the former category.
