As was mentioned before, a safety being near the top of the team in tackles is more an indictment of the defense than anything else. They basically never mentioned Trader’s name during telecasts.Wheels wrote: ↑Sun Dec 18, 2022 7:17 pmWait...not an impact player?

While Maryland's defense wasn't elite, 52nd in the nation isn't exactly bad (0.4 average yards per game separated LSU, Texas, and MD).

Re: Maryland 2023
It sort of doesn't matter about NFL at this point for him. He's got a full ride thanks to football and I think that's more of a concern at this point - getting injured playing lacrosse could imperil that...
Re: Maryland 2023
And two picks. He's a pretty good DB on a perfectly okay P5 defense that also has a history of putting pretty good DBs into the league the last decade or so. Wasn't saying he'd be a first rounder but he'd have a shot at getting drafted with another two years of improvement and that's different gravy than laxWheels wrote: ↑Sun Dec 18, 2022 7:17 pmWait...not an impact player?

I’m not the one saying he’s going to get drafted based on… well, pretty much nothing at all.

Since 2011, there have been less than two Terps drafted per class. He is not one of the top two players in the Terps sophomore class.
Re: Maryland 2023
that's funny, because at no point did i say he'd be drafted. we are discussing trader's evaluation of his pro prospects, and how that may affect a decision to play lacrosse. i'm not in the war room like you are, but i suspect teams don't all get together and take an average number of guys from every school from the last decade.MoralTerpitude wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 9:53 amI’m not the one saying he’s going to get drafted based on… well, pretty much nothing at all.

Regarding the discussion, yes we are, and I’m just saying there are really no indications he’s either planning his future around playing in the NFL, or that he’s NFL caliber. And my point in bringing up the draft numbers is that a very small number of players ever make it to the pros, particulalry from schools in Maryland’s tier. Almost all of them have been identified as pro prospects pretty early in their collegiate careers.wgdsr wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 10:13 amthat's funny, because at no point did i say he'd be drafted. we are discussing trader's evaluation of his pro prospects, and how that may affect a decision to play lacrosse. i'm not in the war room like you are, but i suspect teams don't all get together and take an average number of guys from every school from the last decade.MoralTerpitude wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 9:53 amI’m not the one saying he’s going to get drafted based on… well, pretty much nothing at all.

The level of discourse and collective knowledge on this board as relates to lax is impressive. I learn something everytime I frequent it. I wonder what the response would be if a poster said, “there’s this LSM on Villanova who has 50 ground balls, and is 6’ 2”, 230. I’ve never seen him play, he hasn’t made an all-america team, but he’s got a great shot at making a PLL roster. There’s a good chance he’s going to forego cross country to do fall ball even though he was a top-ten runner in high school.”

you should see the 2 safeties my squad put into nfl camps, one on a roster, after a record-setting (and not in a good way) defensive campaign in 2021. & i see you're still using straw men for stuff i never said, i guess it's now making a roster. kudos.

So, Terps lacrosse 2023, anybody know why Whittier didn't play against USA? Tills mentioned him in a June postseason interview as a practice squad all star along with Spanos. Makar wore his #13 at the scrimmage; don't know if there's a correlation.
Re: Maryland 2023
There were a few guys on the sideline that day and i believe he was one. Thought someone one said Makar was not wearing his number because of a uniform issue.keno in reno wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 6:11 pm So, Terps lacrosse 2023, anybody know why Whittier didn't play against USA?

Re: Maryland 2023
Including O'Neill on the team is like putting Laettner on the Dream Team. You want to at least put a college kid on the team.
But leaving Wisnauskas off the roster in favor of O'Neill is short sighted for a lot of reasons.

And my point in bringing up the draft numbers is that a very small number of players ever make it to the pros, particulalry from schools in Maryland’s tier. Almost all of them have been identified as pro prospects pretty early in their collegiate careers.wgdsr wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 10:13 amthat's funny, because at no point did i say he'd be drafted. we are discussing trader's evaluation of his pro prospects, and how that may affect a decision to play lacrosse. i'm not in the war room like you are, but i suspect teams don't all get together and take an average number of guys from every school from the last decade.MoralTerpitude wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 9:53 amI’m not the one saying he’s going to get drafted based on… well, pretty much nothing at all. I have, however, watched most of their games, and he is not an impact player.wgdsr wrote: ↑Sun Dec 18, 2022 10:24 pmbut terpitude hasn't heard any buzz.jrn19 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 18, 2022 10:18 pmAnd two picks. He's a pretty good DB on a perfectly okay P5 defense that also has a history of putting pretty good DBs into the league the last decade or so. Wasn't saying he'd be a first rounder but he'd have a shot at getting drafted with another two years of improvement and that's different gravy than laxWheels wrote: ↑Sun Dec 18, 2022 7:17 pmWait...not an impact player?

You’ve never seen him play? Nice. He has not been an impact player. And college 40 times are not trustworthy.
While Maryland's defense wasn't elite, 52nd in the nation isn't exactly bad (0.4 average yards per game separated LSU, Texas, and MD).
Since 2011, there have been less than two Terps drafted per class. He is not one of the top two players in the Terps sophomore class.
go ahead and pm me with a wager on whether he signs to a camp.
The level of discourse and collective knowledge on this board as relates to lax is impressive. I learn something everytime I frequent it. I wonder what the response would be if a poster said, “there’s this LSM on Villanova who has 50 ground balls, and is 6’ 2”, 230. I’ve never seen him play, he hasn’t made an all-america team, but he’s got a great shot at making a PLL roster. There’s a good chance he’s going to forego cross country to do fall ball even though he was a top-ten runner in high school.”
Regarding your offer to wager, I don’t make bets with random (somewhat angry?) people on internet message boards.
you should see the 2 safeties my squad put into nfl camps, one on a roster, after a record-setting (and not in a good way) defensive campaign in 2021. & i see you're still using straw men for stuff i never said, i guess it's now making a roster. kudos.
n.p., we can have a trusted 3rd party hold the $$ as u feel so strongly about the lack of prospect. no worries... u don't have to reply on this wager thingy again... i see you.
don't have an issue with terpitude's stance on trader's nfl prospects at all. he might with mine and that's fine.
