LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Man, this extra long off-season is going to drag on...hopefully they can have a normal Fall ball, but who the hell knows right now. It’s really exciting to see all the potential coming back with the new additions, really figure to be super deep. Makes having some version of the Fall important though since it would allow guys some idea where they stand before Spring semester.

But for now, we can speculate on all the combinations Tills has to work with...pumped that the D can take a big step forward! As for Jared, we can hope...

Yeah, we haven't even gotten to the NCAA tmt yet.

The Terps return a lot, so many of the players have a feeling of where they stand. Fall ball would be big for the incoming freshmen though.

On the Jamie Munro podcast, Phi-Lacrosse-ophy he interviewed Cottle. Cottle said he new at the start of his last season it was championship or he was out. He also said he had no regrets from his Maryland experience.

Heard Tills recently speak about the NCAA decision on the extra year of elgibility....he certainly sounded like he was not a fan of it.

In summary he says....Appreciated the empathetic gesture by them, but realizes it will have a lasting effect....like 7 years worth. Was hoping they, the NCAA, would walk it back. Starts around the 26:00 mark.

I thought a player would probably have to sit out a season if he transferred from one Big Ten to another.

Good luck at OSU, DeSantis.

waiver. teams have the option via conference rules to block in conference transfer immed eligibilty and most often do.
times are changing and were before covid, and these are unchartered circumstances.
he's also from columbus, and that could factor in (transfer via close to family, hardship).
could be any

Looks like Morris is staying. So that will be 5 goalies including an incoming freshman

That's nice. He can finish up his degree at UMd and graduate with his classmates next spring, while fighting for playing time in goal.
He'll still have eligibility left afterwards.

So BTN twitter says tomorrow at 8am is the 2017 Big Ten Championship game

Terps bringing in another big transfer. Holden had 20 goals in 5 games this year and 45 goals + 20 assists a year ago for Hobart. Big time scorer at attack https://twitter.com/tyxanders/status/12 ... 0429569035

I really think this means that Bubba will be replace Jared behind the goal. Holden and Brown fill in the midfield quite nicely.

Tillman is getting in early tomorrow am to start building a second locker room for the 35 sideline mosh pit cheerleaders (aka high school All-Americans).

I notice a common theme with your posts. Do you also make these kinds of posts in the UNC, UVA, and Duke forums?

Holden is an attackmen. He's played there his entire career. Doesn't preclude him from moving to midfield, but not like Brown who played midfield for 3 years. And they used Fairman for so much at the midfield this year - played wing on FO's at times, did some defensive midfield - that I don't think they sacrifice that when they have a dodger who can plug in for Jared coming in.

Holden looks pretty good:

It sort of makes one feel that Bernhardt might not be returning.

When Holden came out of high school he was legitimately the best player in Mass. I was shocked that he was headed to Hobart (no disrespect) thought for sure he’d play at a big time program. Think he may have been underrated since he was a public school kid. Definitely a natural attackman, but he has improved his game and is versatile could see him running out of the box.

He’s a stud. Fantastic dodger but can rip it from the outside too, has lots of different shooting motions and slots. It’s a big time add for sure.

He plays up top, on the wing, and behind the goal.

Without Bernhardt, Fairman is easily the most dynamic player on the offense. The question is where does he make the biggest impact? If he's your most dynamic player, do you only want him on the field 1 out of every 2 (or 2 of every 3) offensive possessions?

Holden, Brown, and Long can all invert against shorties. All three can handle being poled. Holden and Brown can sling it from outside (something the Terps have lacked since Kelly graduated...but Brennan showed some promise). Tillman's whole thing is getting your 6 best players on the field at any time. So who plays where is kind of semantics. The discussion might mean more when the 2nd midfield line is in, which is why I think Bubba takes over that Kelly role of staying on the field all game but moving between up top and down low depending on what other personnel packages are in.

What a great problem for Tills and Rep to have, though, right? So much offensive talent.

If memory serves Holden did play some middie as a freshman. Versatile and dynamic. Great pickup for Maryland. Just made me a big Terp fan
