Nice win and much needed. That Duke loss stings even more now. Two OOC wins like that would have looked real good on the resume.
Great question. Heard from some sources that a lot of these seniors aren't sure what the plan is next year since we haven't announced a head coach. Other schools have started to reach out to the group and offer them spots, and at this point I wouldn't blame them for leaving.eldeststatesman wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 4:44 pm Do we know which seniors plan on being graduate students and staying at DU next year ?
are these players in the portal? i believe reaching out and offering them spots otherwise is against nc$$ regs. that would be weird, especially for a non-rev sport.cherrylax wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 10:32 amGreat question.

Disappointing that the AD has not announced Matt Brown as the next head coach. Is it a school policy? Are they waiting to see how this season goes? Personally I don't think there is anyone in the lacrosse world that would recommend someone other than Matt Brown.
If they're going to be graduate students I believe it's allowed.wgdsr wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 10:41 amare these players in the portal? i believe reaching out and offering them spots otherwise is against nc$$ regs. that would be weird, especially for a non-rev sport.cherrylax wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 10:32 amGreat question.

i've never heard of that exception and can't believe that it would be accurate. and how would other schools possibly know ahead of time whether a student was on course to graduate?cherrylax wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 12:24 pmIf they're going to be graduate students I believe it's allowed.wgdsr wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 10:41 amare these players in the portal? i believe reaching out and offering them spots otherwise is against nc$$ regs. that would be weird, especially for a non-rev sport.cherrylax wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 10:32 amGreat question.

Well if a player had been on the team for four years, gotta think a coach would assume there on track to graduate. The bigger conversation for most of these players are trying to figure out if they have a spot next year or to put there names in the portal.wgdsr wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 12:47 pmi've never heard of that exception and can't believe that it would be accurate. and how would other schools possibly know ahead of time whether a student was on course to graduate?cherrylax wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 12:24 pmIf they're going to be graduate students I believe it's allowed.wgdsr wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 10:41 amare these players in the portal? i believe reaching out and offering them spots otherwise is against nc$$ regs. that would be weird, especially for a non-rev sport.cherrylax wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 10:32 amGreat question.

have you heard 1st hand (from a player or that player's parent) that they were contacted and/or a spot was officially offered? i'm not sure how to peek into the portal for lacrosse, but players being in it would seem a more likely explanation.
All are very good candidates. Personally, I'd like to see Matt Brown get the HC role. But, if he were not to land that job... I think Torpey would do very, very well at Denver. He already recruits from all over the country, like Denver. And, you hit the nail on the head with the camp/tourney sector. He'd make a killing.Backinshape wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 2:06 pm So if the next coach is not Matt Brown, then who?
Sean Kirwan? Offensive coordinator that has had a lot of success. Sounds a lot like a slightly bigger version of Matt Brown.
Jon Torpey? Former DU assistant that has had a lot of success at a mid major. Also has shown a desire to make a buck in the camp/tournament sector- Denver is a lot more appealing than High Point in that regard.
Brian Voelker? Has NCAA tournament appearances on his resume. He might like a change of scenery.
Dan Chemotti? Would more $ entice him to go out West?
Dave Pietramala? Would DU look to replace a coach with an enormous name in the sport with another big name guy?
The HC job is posted on Indeed, was surprised when it popped up on my feedcherrylax wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 10:32 amGreat question.

Colorado probably has something similar to NYS in that any institution or company within the state has to post job openings on a somewhat public forum. That doesn't mean they don't already have their top candidates. Just fulfilling the requirements....colaxn wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 7:17 pmThe HC job is posted on Indeed, was surprised when it popped up on my feedcherrylax wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 10:32 amGreat question.
