Maryland 2020
Re: Maryland 2020
Just waiting to see who comes back for Jan 5 practice. Grades? Homesick? Competition?
Re: Maryland 2020
At least they don't spell the coaches names wrong, like the Hopkins website had for a long, long time.
oligarchy thanks you......same as it evah was
Re: Maryland 2020
The Terps had a incoming freshman named Dylan Pallonetti this fall. Of course, there isn't a current roster up for the Terps.
I don't know anything about Palonetti though.

Re: Maryland 2020
Every team loses players. D1 in any sport is a brutal sacrifice. 20% scholarships, if even that much, is just not worth it to a lot of college kids. Same for every school, not just Maryland.
Re: Maryland 2020
Looking at last years roster there were 46 players at seasons end with a total of 10 seniors. Add on 15 incoming frosh per Inside Lacrosse and the 4 fall transfers. Total fall roster looked like 55+ , which leads to the belief that there were at least 8 or more cuts to be had. Then there are the fall exit meetings where Tills rips the guts out of 18 and 19 year olds by telling them they will never play at UMD to see if they will fold up tent and bounce. The reason for that method is to make room for whatever transfers will show up in January because there are at least 2-3 that haven't been revealed yet. Call it homesick , competition or gamesmanship it is his (Tills) stick and his ball and if you don't like it too bad.
Re: Maryland 2020
Actually, the Terps' roster count was 49 at the time of the Villanova game, with #20 Jack Wilson having left early in the season, so the Terps' roster probably numbered 50 at the start of the season. (#30 Brosh, #33 Avanato and #41 Decker are left off the roster you refer to). Matt LeCompte was listed as being on the transfer portal at the end of the Spring.Realguy wrote: ↑Mon Dec 23, 2019 11:41 am Looking at last years roster there were 46 players at seasons end with a total of 10 seniors.

In pictures of the team this fall, I think maybe there were 53-54 Terps.
This would mean more like 3 or 4 players will leave the team.
While that is an interesting emotional embellishment of yours about ripping guts out, I think it is a quality of a good coach to let his players know where they stand.
While occasionally UMd brings in a star at mid-year like Justin Shockey ( 2 years back), most of the additions to UMd's roster at mid-year seem more like reserve players, and make it seem like most of the mid-year additions are needed to keep up roster-size...So perhaps the number of mid-year additions will be low this January.

Oh yeah! Realguy is back character assassinating Tills again. Missed you, bud.*

Re: Maryland 2020
Shockey is a STAR ! Where has he been all fall ? Oh that's right he got suspended and the only reason he is allowed back is because Tills would never allow one of his prodigy's to look bad because it makes him look bad. Please don't call a 50% draw guy who went 10/30 in the playoffs last year a STAR ! Rambo was and is a STAR, Jared Bernhardt is a STAR please stop throwing accolades around so loosely. I only hope those kids that get mentally abused in order for Tills to make space for incoming transfers land on their feet and keep their heads on straight. College lacrosse should be a great experience and in the end it's about getting an education.

Cooter's point was that he was brought in at the mid term which is not common. After HS and before his college career, which destroys your narrative.

Re: Maryland 2020
The Terps had 9 players leave the program from last years team over the summer, you can make all the assumptions you want, but that is not a good sign.
Re: Maryland 2020
This picture of the team on Oct 5 shows 53 players.

There is no way 9 players left the team over the summer.

Re: Maryland 2020
Mentally abused is a strong charge. Direct conversations and honest appraisals are not abusive but seem to be received and labeled as such by many in this generation. Many d1 rosters have 50 players and only half will see the field. Disgruntlement seems to occur when players and parents arrive with closed eyes and false expectations. All are recruited because they are good prospects and some are enlisted only after more favored recruits went elsewhere. Chances are only a 1/3rd of every class will see significant pt over their careers and even most of those wont really hit field until later stages. Didn't care for the idiocy of early recruiting and not a fan of programs heavily using expanding transfer pool but all major d1 are suitors when it fits. Tillman may run his program like a business but doubt he made false promises to anyone nor unlikely he is a Moreland Smith character. College isnt high school and d1 college lax certainly isn't high school lax.Realguy wrote: ↑Mon Dec 23, 2019 10:11 pmShockey is a STAR ! Where has he been all fall ?

Re: Maryland 2020
haven't been on in a bit, things are a little spicy around here!!!
surprised at folks' take on the transfer portal... if it helps your team, coaches will and should jump. if you can't win your spot whether incoming is a frosh or transfer, them's the breaks.
