Can't really overstate how big this is. Exactly the type of player we want. Great job by the staff to get this (and Monfort) done

Bio says he was the team captain last year. Veteran leadership in the middle of the field. Good.

Forgot the ledgend 51's favorite subtopic-roster size.
60 players this year-22 srs grad students=38 returners
+Deans/Bauer/Melendez
+2 yale grad students
+11 freshmen on IL's 2024 site
so 54 down from 60 as of right now before Smith/other transfers in/losses.

Last year I think Chris Wong was the only non sr with remaining eligibility who did not return and they added Steubner/Ierlan/Aviles in the portal and Kilrain as a late flip.

Yes, it was mentioned he was the sole captain (a customary measure) at Yale. Would not be surprised to see him reprise that role at Hopkins.

'06's math looks pretty good this time and he is omitting Smith (in process and likely), the DIII face-off man, conversations/inquiries around Staudt and maybe other goalies and probably others (e.g. are Evans and Arteaga/Cam Chauvette out of the question?) The open issue obviously is will there be any departures.
Again - somewhat tempered by the fact of the lost rising "true" senior class - i.e all things being "normal" - Smith/Melendez/Bauer would probably be done and you are left with less than 10 players and only 1 really plays and he's a face-off man. So adding 3 players in the portal - with the by product of leadership is certainly a benefit. 2025 recruit list has 14 names on it and likely reflects the number of departures so mid 50's appears to be the norm.

Petro used to play funny man games with the fake numbers in the fall ball scrimmages. Given the roster turnover they might need to add names on the front and back of the jerseys so any of us or them know who these kids are.

There was a story about a big ncaa settlement with athletes over compensation the other day. I have not seen any stories on how it impacts d3 schools or the 8 schools like hopkins that are d1 in only 1 sport.

It impacts all D1 athletes. However, the deal isn't finalized and details may change.

I believe there's a cap on total outlay by school in big conferences like Big 10, but that's certainly quite a wrinkle for Hop's situation.

Hopkins has become one of the more aggressive in use of booster money.

Booster money used to directly recruit athletes to come? I've yet to see it in any significant form and I know several players on the team.

Not at the scale where one would think it would really matter. But, yes, dough for all and more for some is my understanding. In response to some other programs doing so increasingly. Not sure how public that all is, though.

Hopkins didn’t show Bloomberg around the athletic facilities for nothing.

Johns Hopkins was like … “Thanks for the pavers and the billions for public health and all … the new building for physics was swell!!! Hey … would ya be interested in taking a little tour of Homewood Field? Naming rights available, Mike ….”

Daniels is one of the greatest presidents in the history of The Johns Hopkins University. By the time he leaves, maybe only Coit Gilman (who is arguably the greatest university president … of any university … of all time) will be ranked higher.
