The man would give it to any random dude who walked in off the street at this point. Please, won't somebody take the #22 jersey?!!?!?
Former Wahoo Zed Williams is his cousin and Lars has coached Scanlan on the Iroquois national team. Not shocked he is looking there. Top returning middie is Dox, obviously, but mostly unproven players behind him. Connors will likely get a lot of time as will Shellenberger running out of the box. Other names to watch are Simmons, Peele, Murray, and Maloney. More openings there than at attack IMO, which may have been the issue with Gray.Peter Brown wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 7:21 pm I’d have never guessed UVA. For anyone with good knowledge of the Hoos, are there openings at midfield there? I thought they were loaded there? I’m not so sure that’s the correct choice for him but let’s hope. Interestingly, I believe that is the Hounds’ first opponent next year!

(and btw, anyone reading that interview should be able to understand better the dynamic between Chase and who was returning to the Hounds next year; it was never going to be a smooth issue).
Also have Cormier returning from injury, Dickson, Quinn, Sallade, Garno and others. Dont see a great fit , be a luxury that might lead to some discontentLaxter wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 8:45 pmFormer Wahoo Zed Williams is his cousin and Lars has coached Scanlan on the Iroquois national team.

That's what I think we're all scratching our heads over, OC. For all we know it could just be a list of schools where he happens to know somebody. In fairness to him, you could say that the cultural issue is likely to be there at almost every program, and maybe he figures at least at these places somebody will have his back.
I am wishing him luck. Kids sometimes just need to be where they feel comfortable. Loyola is a different environment. BC, Loyola, Holy Cross Fordham, Fairfield U and Villanova have a distinct culture. Maybe it wasn’t for Chase. I felt UVA had a chance. Wouldn’t mind seeing him land there.johnnyonthegunpowder wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 10:21 am https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/ ... five/54917
Scanlan clarifies.......something.
Has Coach Tiffany said he plans to run Shellenberger out of the box or is that just your opinion? It would seem just as reasonable to move Matt Moore back to midfield and play Shellenberger at attack.Laxter wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 8:45 pm

I was a huge fan of the kid and loved the write up about his background that came out earlier this year in Lax Mag. I wish he went with UVA in the first place. Why didn't he with Lars there and Zed having attended? Clearly Loyola wasn't for him, as he obviously has a beef with a certain "they" as is quoted in the article. Though no longer is the "locker room" (aka teammates) from the last interview, and it's no longer and issue of it being "blue collar" now that he's looking a Hopkins and an Ivy. Now it's "off the field". Either way, someone senior to him should advise him that in scenarios like this, you make it about yourself, not some vague and changing other that you can simply shift to justify your new circumstances. It may scare off potential coaches and teams, and it's not a good look.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 10:31 amI am wishing him luck.

haven't seen that commented anywhere by the coaching staff. obviously, shellenberger hasn't even attended a class and uva does have a few players, so anointing him a spot anywhere for his play in high school isn't/shouldn't happen.Cooter wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 10:56 amHas Coach Tiffany said he plans to run Shellenberger out of the box or is that just your opinion?

Is the UVA roster full of players with blue collar backgrounds? UVA seems like one of the more patrician places to me.

That said, honestly the impression one gets from reading the IL article is of a process that from the outside looks just a bit incoherent. Originally committed to Syracuse. The implication Xanders gives is that Cuse's main appeal for him now is financial, so you wonder if maybe from the start that wasn't a decision he felt fully comfortable with but felt he couldn't walk away from a full ride. Either way, he ends up decommitting, and -- again this is slightly reading between the lines in the article -- at that point the choice of a new program gets driven largely by the small number that still have significant scholarship money to offer. So, Loyola.
Now he's going back to the drawing board, but the approach still seems scattershot and constrained by less-than-ideal timing. He's visiting Cornell but not meeting with the coaches? So that he can find out if his hypothetical scholarship program can get him a waiver on the Ivy transfer deadline? I don't know anything about how that policy works, so maybe this is in fact totally plausible, but it strikes me as an odd theory.
Penn State was on the list, now apparently they're off. All this is not to criticize the kid -- far from it -- but just to point out that he might very well not have a totally clear idea of what he wants and how to find it, or he might have an idea that's clear to him but looks counter-intuitive to others. Trying to deduce logically where he's going to go based on public information should be labeled for entertainment purposes only.
