Who cares who is taking the draw for BC … that looks like Bella Godsick finally getting to suit up for the BIG GREEN!OuttaNowhereWregget wrote: ↑Mon Oct 11, 2021 8:43 am This is the second picture I’ve seen this fall of Belle Smith in the draw circle. Who knows, the Eagles may be planning to take some of the draw burden off North‘s shoulders for ‘22.
100% this. I like how MD handles the #1. That number is passed down year to year to who deserves it based on how they've played over their career at MD and is considered an honor based on leadership ability. It's not ever given to some hot shot recruit freshman.seacoaster wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 7:47 pmAn 18 year old shouldn't be burdened with the consolidated legacy of Gary Gait, Charlie Lockwood, Casey Powell, Michael Powell, Ryan Powell and Dan Hardy and the ten national championships they won wearing it. Joey should start with another number. Gait did. Ryan Powell did.LarryGamLax wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 7:38 pmseacoaster wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 5:07 pmOh, OK; I had forgotten that Sam was No. 2. Not sure I'd read anything into the number assignment.
The SU number has become a burden.
Yeah, my friend's son is going to be wearing that number in 2 years. The legacy is great, but the weight of the legacy can be overwhelming in terms of expectations. My friend's son will do just fine. Hopefully.
I agree about the #2 at BC. Other than Apuzzo, I don't believe the number has any real legacy to it.
I think everyone who wears that number thinks the same thing. Perhaps you are right, I wish the kid luck. The pressure of that number got even greater now that the OG is the head coach......imo.
Brown, Yale, Harvard and Dartmouth. I guess we will have some data on the question of how good the Ivy League is in relation to the ACC.OuttaNowhereWregget wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 11:37 am https://bceagles.com/news/2021/12/8/lac ... edule.aspx
I hear ya, but based on what I saw in the Dartmouth/BC scrimmage this fall, BC looks as if they are playing at an entirely different level. Sadly, the Ivies are unlikely to keep these games from getting ugly. I hope I am wrong, but…seacoaster wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 11:44 amBrown, Yale, Harvard and Dartmouth.

I think a better (though still flawed and unbalanced) test would be vs Penn and Princeton. BC will overwhelm these 4 teams, as alluded to by CO. A better matchup for these 4 Ivy’s would be Virginia Tech, Louisville and Pitt.Can Opener wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 1:11 pmI hear ya, but based on what I saw in the Dartmouth/BC scrimmage this fall, BC looks as if they are playing at an entirely different level.

I doubt you're wrong.

North will put up a good 40 points playing against those Ivy teams. Acacia doesn’t like to travel far - and why should she . Denver being the lone exception.Can Opener wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 1:11 pmI hear ya, but based on what I saw in the Dartmouth/BC scrimmage this fall, BC looks as if they are playing at an entirely different level.

I see three potential tight games in this schedule (1 per month). 13-3 at worst 16-0 at best. My guess 15-1.seacoaster wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 11:44 amBrown, Yale, Harvard and Dartmouth.

Putting aside the nifty hype video, in watching these three kid plays, I would have put Agostino as the best of the three, followed by Davis and then MH. No offense to MH or MD. I thought Davis looked rally good in the games against the national teams. My impression of Hasselbeck was "good size, handles -- carries and passes -- the ball better than her sister as a freshman." In any event, it does appear that AWW has a very able freshman class.OuttaNowhereWregget wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 4:17 am As Rod Stewart once told us, "Every picture tells a story, don't it." This little clip of BC's 2nd edition of the Big 3 (in order Mallory Hasselbeck, Summer Agostino and McKenna Davis) was posted yesterday on Instagram. What this picture tells me is BC has another badass coming up. Highly touted incoming attacker McKenna Davis looks the part here. Her whole demeanor with the open mouthed gum chewing as the finishing touch says, Uh-Oh-- we got us another BC badass.
