Re: Transfer Portal 2022

Potentially, it only becomes an issue if Nunes gets hurt. Otherwise, I am completely comfortable with Nunes starting, especially with who will be starting in front of him. The rest of the D is pretty veteran and talented.
To be determined. But is counter to the play style Lars has implemented these past years. A stout D may not be all that matters in a frenetic paced game, which UVA has thrived. It may force his hand at being more methodical on the offensive side, in order to avoid odd man transition. All in all, it may very well help them become more balanced and as the season goes on the tender confidence should rise.blue angels wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 8:20 amPotentially, it only becomes an issue if Nunes gets hurt.

It's always been like this for "non-revenue" sports (except hockey, I think). Players have always been able to transfer with no sit-out penalty. Perhaps now the official portal has made it easier for transfers to find homes because coaches know who's on the market. Previously, players would have to reach out to other programs unless a coach helped find players spots. The real difference is that we as fans now know about this previously hidden recruiting market, and we know weeks/months in advance.backerzone wrote: ↑Fri Dec 24, 2021 2:19 pmNow that the transfer portal is "normalized" so to speak with no real stigma- I wonder how many coaches (if any) do encourage players to move on. Goalies and fogos will be like QB's in football I suspect - if not the starter looking for somewhere to get on the field. I'm surprised so few players drop down to d2 and d3 though. In hoops and football that is more common or so it seems.bananas wrote: ↑Tue Dec 21, 2021 3:01 pm Transferring is a highly personal but either Rode is returning or clear that Nunes is starter . Only one goalie can play at one time but seen use of two on occasion and changes do happen at times .Every position has numbers and percentages are relative 3 goalies for 1 spot , 12 attackman for 3 spots.
Gavin looked to be a good goalie but he's still going to have to compete with another good goalie at most high profile d1's . UVA is a really good college to attend even if he is a backup right now so he can be selective if uva door is left open. Tiffany at sit-downs must encourage some to explore without holding it agaisnt because a few good uva players have entered portal only to return and then play despite talented roster. Wonder if that is true.
Agree that I guess we won't know till we know. It was just a scrimmage, but Nunes didn't look that overmatched against Team USA in the Fall. If there is only one area in which Nunes is stronger than Rode, it's clearing. I think there will be more transition offense with this goalie, not less........youthathletics wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 8:59 amTo be determined.
