Pre-2020 summer transfers

[DocBarrister]

Hearsay info on Gray: He is leaving because he was denied admission to the biz school at BU. Also his GPA, while good, but not great, MAY preclude admission to an Ivy. He is a terrific player, but it's nice to see that he is making a decision based on 40 years not 4 (now 2). Remember, this is second hand info, but I thought I'd mention it. I don't know him, but I do know that his coaches, both hs and college hold him in high regard.

The b school at BU is not very hard to internally transfer into at all. This means that his GPA likely is not high if this is actually the issue. Also cant imagine a problem this small couldnt be solved to keep one of BUs most prominent athletes. If this is actually the issue(which i highly doubt) other teams at schools with high academics are going to have a really rough time trying to get him in.

cue the ivy guys cutting his available list to cornell and any other school not in the ivy.

Thanks for the Cornell bash, wgdsr. Cornell's admission requirements are quite high. It is unlikely a person with average grades at a non-Ivy school will qualify for admission. https://www.prepscholar.com/sat/s/colle ... scores-GPA

Johns Hopkins will treat Chris Gray with respect if BU does not.

Johns Hopkins:

Top Ten academics. Big Ten lacrosse. Can’t beat that!

Chris gray to Hopkins would be a huge shock

[blue angels]

Virginia would shock me as the entire attack returns plus Cormier, Dickson and #1 Shellenberger will all be vying for time at attack. Additionally, since Moore broke the Virginia season points record at attack, why would they move him back to midfield? IL might not be aware of Moore but he is certainly in the discussion as the best returning attackman next year.

There seems to be a lot of revisionist history with this UVA team and Moore in particular. When the AA teams came out he was at best a HM and he may have moved himself up to 3rd team after the tournament. It wasn't some kind of massive snub leaving him out.

wharevs. moore was plenty good enough. and all 3 were the main guys responsible for their riding.
all 3 got it done as a unit, along with the other parts of the team of course
you don't step on that when they and everyone else preaches family.
the championship changes things. would be more than a little shocked if uva put themselves in the running.

If you want to put Moore in you have to take someone out. I'm curious as who you think that should be.

And yeah UVA shouldn't be interested in moving him to midfield for Gray because despite maybe not being on of the 9 or 10 best attackman this year he was still really freaking good.

Moore wasn’t selected to even the IL Honorable mention AA team which is absurd. I assure you that top defenders like Cade Van Rappahorst, JT Giles, Curtis Corley and even whomever he smoked at Yale think he’s good enough for some level of AA inclusion.

Again I agree Moore is really good but you have to drop someone to put him on and also nothing he did after round 1 of the tournament was factored in since it was after the release of the teams. I think it's reasonable to have everyone picked over him. Honestly the best argument is probably him over Kraus.

[blue angels]

Why do you insist that we have to name names and put down other attackmen to elevate one we think is worthy of honorable mention or more? Frankly, I don't think that is necessary, beyond being impolite to those players. I just believe Moore should have been included. I also am humored that you think , in effect, Kraus is the one who should be opted out of anyone on the list for Moore. I guess you aren't impressed with his game that much either.

According to a report from Chip Malafronte of the New Haven Register, Yale is in the mix of schools that Chris Gray is considering and he has already applied to the school.

Yale is about to become Yale State

[QuakerSouth]

Yale increased their class sizes a few years ago, adding 150 or so per class, or round 600ish to total enrollment. Its enabled them to do some things...

They've been active in transfers for all sports for a few years now. I know a handful of the kids that transferred. All were stars at Yale. Transfers don't muck up your US News numbers either. They are ghosts to the system.

Yes. They added a new Residential College....you know the program that’s integral to the Yale experience.

[QuakerSouth]

Two new residential colleges, actually.

What program are you speaking of?

[Typical Lax Dad]

The general concept of the residential college program. Just busting balls. NHSU

[QuakerSouth]

Ahhh...I thought you had a particular team in mind.

[wahoomurf]

Wonder if any other guys on the roster of my lil' cow college's team are planning on transferring this summer? The grass just may be greener?

[molo]

IL says he's narrowed his search. I'm betting Duke.

As compared to "Harvard Community College" ??

[Farfromgeneva]

Broome Community college in my hometown, binghamton, NY has been for decades referred to as “Yale by the jail” due to ya incredibly intimate proximity to the county jail.+

1st Team All-Big East defenseman Nick Grill (@MarquetteMLAX / Bridgewater-Raritan, NJ) has entered the NCAA's transfer portal, according to a source. The 5-foot-7 cover man started every game in his first three years, picking up 2nd Team All-BE honors in 2017 and 2018.

[youthathletics]

He's probably already been contacted by the Terps.

This is why student athletes should pick the school first, coach second. There are no guarantees the coach will be there for all 4 years.
