Re: Johns Hopkins 2023
Pair em with Carc and you get less Quint but then are faced with the dilemma of wanting them both to shut up.BlueJaySince1947 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 12, 2023 6:34 pm Watching the tape delay on ESPNU ...

Re: Johns Hopkins 2023
Hey maybe this is his ceiling and if it is it’s “fine” as a secondary contributor. Just not the billing or what you expect seeing him get off the bus.primitiveskills wrote: ↑Sun Feb 12, 2023 7:42 pmAnd how should the coaches do that? This is the third different offense he's been in. In two games so far, he's played up top and on the wing. He's initiated, carried, and played off ball. He's done fine, getting a couple of points a game. I give him a lot of credit for fighting through injuries to contribute to the offense. To expect him to "dominate" doesn't seem to be based on a realistic assessment of his game at this point.flalax22 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 12, 2023 5:17 pmI just want the coaches to help the kid access the potential.

Grimes was a HS superstar and has a good shot.
They need to find a way to utilize his strengths.
Re: Johns Hopkins 2023
The Schneider comparison is fair. But as you said he’s a kid that played in the B1G title game and then was stapled to the bench last year. I don’t believe he suddenly figured it out.HopFan16 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 12, 2023 5:36 pmMaybe they were better? It wouldn't be the first time a goalie largely struggled but then figured it out later on in his career. Eric Schneider comes to mind. Marcille did have opportunities — prior to this season he had played in 7 games with 4 starts — but wasn't any more consistent than the other guy. In fact their stats were nearly identical. And that's without knowing what was going on at practice, as you said. He helped get us to the B1G title game vs. Maryland in 2021 but then laid an absolute egg in a game we might have won with even a below-average goalie performance. He's getting another opportunity now and he's killing it.
Anyway not sure why we need to relitigate this and can't just enjoy the solid play. The last two performances have earned him a long leash.
BTW, I hope by now people understand how profoundly stupid Sag A's "we are underdogs in every game" preseason analysis was. How's that holding up?
Did he have some opportunity sure but I will always believe had he been given the leash Kirson was the Jays would have won more games.

I just finished watching the Gtown/JHU game on ESPNu.
Grimes seems similar to Wisnauskas, similar size, noticably faster on his feet, but same rocket lefty shot. Seems they both have a great feel for field awareness and teammate skill sets. But the left handed shot is what stands out to the outside observer.
If I were the Hop coaching staff, if there is a way to utilize him to take advantage of his shot, that seems to be the solution.
Re: Johns Hopkins 2023
I just watched the Gtown Hop game on ESPNu. Very entertaining tbh. Syracuse fan here.
Hopkins really wanted that game. The effort on GB's and out of bound foot races were the difference IMO. Both goalies played well. Both FOGO's played well. The passing was good.
I really like Hopkins defense. Very aggressive; no fear.
On offense, Peshko finds where to be, often. Smart player. Your freshman, #16, will be All-American, no doubt. Stud.
If there is any difference this year versus others for HOP, it might be that you finally have a fast player on offense, Melendez, who clearly wants the ball and doesn't turn it over. If you could found fault with HOP the last few years, it seemed there was no one on the team with that foot speed who also wanted the ball.
HOP will be a tough out for any team this year. The Baltimore teams (Loyola, HOP, Towson, and MD) might beat up each other a tad...I'm not sure there's much daylight among them early in the season; as a season progresses, I'd expect MD and maybe HOP to distance themselves, but early on, there is no easy call as to who will beat who.
Good luck.

Re: Johns Hopkins 2023
It would be nice. I don't think I've seen a player develop as dramatically as Wisnauskas. He was really a complete offensive player by the end of his career, a threat off the dodge, as a feeder, distributing, shooting. His off ball ability/ sense was always terrific. Would be happy to be proven wrong but I think he was a unique and extraordinary case.10stone5 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 12, 2023 8:50 pmNot a bad analogy at all,Finster wrote: ↑Sun Feb 12, 2023 8:32 pmflalax22 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 12, 2023 5:17 pmI just want the coaches to help the kid access the potential.

Straight dopes parachute in to threads unrelated to their own focus, so they must (must!!) overlay harebrained interpretations of convos they were never part of. That isn’t gold or even pure gold, it’s a standard reactionary pig-ignorance.
