Johns Hopkins 2024

How did Chauvette switch his commitment if he is currently a HS senior? Wouldn’t he have had to back out of his NLI to Yale that he assumedly signed in the fall of 2022v

nli's are for athletic scholarship money.

"the reason they didn’t make it to memorial day was they had the champ early"
-- hopkins fans getting a little excited (seeping into creatively revisionist) over their prospects for '24. and who can blame them? it's been a minute.

Last year was a great year for the jays, especially when you consider expectations based on 2022. Our expectations should be very high now that we landed a critical piece between the pipes (and stole a prize from Yale). Excited? Hell yeah!

Another data point is that - as far as I can tell - Hop doesn't have a single out-going player in the portal. Would seem to be a sign that the program has turned a massive corner culturally.

The post-game comments about Epstein were concerning and raised some real questions for me. But other than that, I think I've been fairly reasonable (though I was probably over optimistic leading into the 21 season). I've said this before, but reading the tea leaves, it seems to me that the Covid impact was more significant than I realized at the time. While they did play (as compared to the Ivies), I've heard that Hop overall was a truly miserable place during the depths of Covid.

The vibes at Homewood are good. Coach Crawley deserves a lot of credit for helping put it all together. He was an important missing piece to the equation from a culture standpoint. Now they've really built something that will last.

And to reinforce, the Ivies do not participate in National Letters of Intent.

No athletic money and no commitment by the student to go to the school...need-based financial aid decisions are made subsequent to acceptance.

However, I do have a question about the likely ED commitment made. EDIT: took a look at Yale's early action options...in at least one, there's a grace period of May 1 to consider other schools financial aid offers. https://admissions.yale.edu/single-choice-early-action

BK should get some credit for the improved culture too.

No NLI for Ivies. That said this is very unusual and is sure to ruffle some feathers. Decommits are part of the game, but doing it after you graduate your senior year is not good.

Shay has poached his fair share of Hop commits. He's a big boy, he'll be fine

Shay has poached many commits from several schools not just Hopkins. Agree he should not be miffed

I will bet he is not happy about this. The timing is the big issue. There is nothing you can do about this. I doubt Posner is happy about this either.

Posner wants what's best for his players but also who gives a sh*t

Yeah this one may even have come with some extenuating circumstances too that go a bit deeper than someone just changing their mind about solely the school and coach, etc. The program looking like it has turned a corner and is heading in the right direction in terms of Wins and Losses sure didn't hurt I'm sure but I could believe that may be coupled with the fact that he had some interest in playing with his brother. In theory Cam could be with the program for two more years right?

Angelus Narewski Jaronski Szeaulak Ruddy

Angelus, Jaronski, and Szuluk are all coming back.

Narewski is out of eligibility.

Presuming Degnon is not granted a medical waiver for the '19 season in which he only appeared in 3 games, then the biggest hole obviously will be lefty attack, but now there are about four solid options to fill it

Yep, missed all of 2021 with an injury

Presuming Degnon is not granted a medical waiver for the '19 season in which he only appeared in 3 games, then the biggest hole obviously will be lefty attack, but now there are about four solid options to fill it

is this info that you have heard he is trying to do so or just musing that he potentially could have?

It's been discussed. To be honest I don't know what the chances are, others may know more. No matter what happens we're going to have a strong player at that lefty attack slot

I have heard this rumor as well, but don't know if it's tied to any reality. Also, the player would have to want to return.
