Johns Hopkins 2022

[RumorMill]

Maybe just waiting to roll #10 out against Maryland like last season?

[HopFan16]

Refs really not interested in giving us any quick restarts

Better quarter, but probably too little too late

[wgdsr]

can hop beat rutgers by 4 in one quarter? probably not, that's why they play the games tho.

[DocBarrister]

Does anyone have any real information about Joey Epstein? Lots of bloviating and speculating, but not any facts. When I saw him play in Denver, my take was he could and needed to play much better--other than the Towson game, not much special. If he is truly underperforming, what message is sent by keeping him in the game?

He has had his ups and downs, but do you know of any other current Hopkins player with 32 points?

Love having Krampf taking shots from the right wing in transition rather than Epstein. Definitely what you want

Yep. Why leave the shot to a guy with 19 goals when you can have it taken by a player with 1 goal?

If it’s a disciplinary thing … fine.

If it’s an attempt to “shake things up”, it’s pure idiocy. Practically begging Epstein to transfer.

DocBarrister

Where would he be accepted as a transfer? Where could he start?

A decent coach could get the best out of him and work him into their team. I hate to say it but a change of scenery might be in his best interest at this point.

I'd 100% graduate and then go get a grad degree somewhere else if I were him. He's the leading scorer and isn't sniffing the field while the rest of these dudes score 2 goals in a half. #Culture!

I’m happy to be patient with this coaching staff. As said often by you and others, they haven’t even brought in their first recruiting class. We are in agreement there.

But if Coach Milliman and his staff cause a three-time captain to transfer?

That’s a firing offense in my book.

DocBarrister

Doc,
You were going to name those "at least a dozen" teams that would accept him. Crickets!

Only teams that had a VERY strong chance for a national championship, would disrupt their programs by bringing in a 1 and done, 5'10", 180 lb, transfer. What about loyalty to guys already in your program waiting for a shot?

Are you not embarrassed to make bold statements but the hide and refuse to even attempt to justify them?

Your post is ridiculously naive and ignores the transfer wave of the past two years.

I’m sure Rutgers would accept his transfer. Ditto for Ohio State, Penn State, and Michigan. Denver? Duke? North Carolina? Syracuse? Notre Dame? Maryland (with Benson)? Jacksonville? Loyola?

There’s a dozen for you, and I don’t think we would be close to finished.

And loyalty to current players on the roster?!? Are you kidding me???

Winning is all about preserving a six-figure salary these days.

DocBarrister

Anyone who disagrees with your silliness is ridiculously naive.
Epstein was good at one time but poles feast on him now. He is a turnover machine.
Duke? UNC? Syracuse? Maryland? No way!!!! I fully expected you to claim that he would not transfer because he was certain to be drafted #1 in the upcoming PLL draft.
As to your claim that my statement "ignores the transfer wave of the past two years," Did that wave include anyone who was riding pine on his previous team?

Don’t discount the damage done to the psyche by Milliman. A fresh start with a supportive coach, and you might very well see the old Joey or better.

More nonsensical trolling.

Are you saying Danowski wouldn’t be interested in a three-time Hopkins captain. Petro and Gait wouldn’t be interested? Benson at Maryland wouldn’t be interested? North Carolina wouldn’t be interested in his leadership and points with their young team? And many coaches would indeed factor in the impact of a fresh start.

You are not even thinking before posting.

Except he was struggling under the last days of Petro too. Everyone here wanted to blame the knee. I’m not so sure that was the problem

[DougELax]

So many chances to get it to 3. Too many turnovers and poor clearing, but the kids are trying hard.

Could be the case. Connor Reed was never the same after his injury. Neither was Drew. Hopefully Joey gets it back.

He is still a pretty good player with all of his “problems”.

Last game as a starter against Delaware, he only put 3 shots out of 10 on goal. Still, he assisted on 3 goals with 3 different players and scored a goal unassisted.

If that’s horrible, I will take horrible compared to what we have seen today.

And any coach who plays mind games with a three-time captain should state clearly why he’s doing that. We haven’t heard any clear explanation yet.

Used to be able to stop on a dime and explode into a change of direction. He simply can't do that anymore. There may be other stuff going on but that's the root of the issue. Still, he need to be out there in some capacity, if only as an off-ball wing shooter

[xxxxxxx]

Why doesn’t Epstein play? This is sad.

[HillsLax]

The nonsense spewed by the uniformed is stunning. I have not heard anyone with any real information regarding Joey Epstein, but one character has him under a psychological microscope. "Don't dominate the rap, Jack, unless you got something new to say."

He has definitely lost a step, but he shouldn’t need that extra step in a purported motion offense. He’s mobile enough.

[jhu06]

credit to the rutgers community. they've built a very strong program despite some big offseason losses.

narewski was good, the defense was better in the second half.

the offense was lost and you have to think the major changes that began w/last weeks lineup are only the beginning.

[Wheels]

I've heard that Joey turns the ball over too much, but then I see 17 turnovers without him even playing today.

And then there's the move to DSsimone to midfield. 1 goal on 5 shots. Turned into an alley dodger.
