If you want to think about the issue in a more practical terms. Think about this. When was the last time Hopkins/SU wasn't on TV? Or how about this Hopkins/UNC was on ESPN+ but ESPN was still showing a lacrosse game. Hopkins is falling down a path that was tread a while ago, it really is going to take a drastic change to get off of it. But, some still want to bury their head and ignore but latching onto lazy B!G tournament titles and we were in the FF 4 years ago (ignores it as the only FF in a decade).jhu06 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 10:52 am substitute Tennessee womens basketball for Hopkins lacrosse and you basically have this program since Brody gave Rabil his diploma.

"The Lady Vols (hopkins blue jays) continued their descent from perennial juggernaut, to sporadic title contender, to the fringes of national relevance, staggering to a 19-12 record that leaves them squarely on the bubble just days before this year's women's NCAA tournament bracket is unveiled.
"Aided by the strength of the Tennessee (HOPKINS) brand in women's basketball (LACROSSE), Warlick (PETRO) has recruited well throughout her tenure, luring the nation's top-ranked class in 2017 and backing that up with a pair of top-10 classes in 2018 and 2019.
"If Tennessee (HOPKINS) is calling on the phone, kids are still going to stop and pay attention," said Dan Olson, owner of the Collegiate Girls Basketball Report. "The Tennessee (HOPKINS) name still resonates with kids. They're still pulling some of the top players year after year."
Where Warlick has sometimes struggled is molding elite talent into a cohesive, winning team. This year's Lady Vols (BLUE JAYS) are erratic shooting from the perimeter, sometimes turn the ball over too frequently and rank 252nd in field-goal percentage defense nationally."
