Plus if he is talking to kids in the portal I am sure they want some certainty as well. I expect them to bring him back since the season was cut short but not sure that is the right decision as I think he has lost the kids with his style of coaching.

The NCAA also needs to hurry up and decide (sorry if I missed it) whether the athletes get a year back or not. You can't just give it to senior and not the rest of the players it is either all players or none get an extra year of eligibility. I am sure teams want to know if their kids are coming back as well or need to tell the kids if they want them back.

Good list!

I'm curious: is there a reason why there isn't much more chatter around Peter Milliman in "next hot name" exercises like this? Guy takes over at Cornell as interim 3 years ago, to a general reaction of "who?"; since then he's posted a .737 winning %, won an NCAA game on the road, and had the #2 team in both polls when the lights went out. Seems to be regarded as a great recruiter, very positive energy guy. Yet he checks in with infinitesimal odds on a sheet that includes the likes of DocBarrister and Seth Tierney. This is a genuine question, and not necessarily directed at HF16 -- what's up with that?

He probably should be included in that group of coaches. One reason he may not be is he already has a pretty good gig, and it's unclear how many jobs would technically qualify as a "step up" from his current situation. With all due respect to High Point, St. Joe's, etc., not sure you can say the same for Torpey and Wray and some of those other guys.

As far as the Hopkins job specifically, Milliman would be an interesting name to throw out there but his experience would at surface level at least seem like a bit of an odd fit to me. He has no ties to the school, to the Big Ten, to the Maryland area, or really to any teams remotely within Hop's orbit except for one year as an assistant at Princeton, long after Tierney left. He hasn't coached anywhere south of Pennsylvania except for a brief stint coaching at Division II Pfeiffer in NC. It's quite possible none of this matters. If you can coach, you can coach. And if you crush the interview process, it doesn't really matter how/where you've got your experience—plus his most recent work at Cornell is obviously most important. Just doesn't really seem to me like the guy they'd go after, nor does it seem like he'd want to leave. Rochester native, he seems like a New York guy through and through. Maybe that's wrong. I'd probably put him on the list if the Cuse job opened up however.

BTW: isn't lacrosse such a wonderful little world? Where the Ivies are seen as scrappy underdogs that struggle to hang on to homegrown talent, and Central New York is regarded as a super difficult place to relocate people from.

this is one of my favorite moments every year. When elite schools that charge $70k a year refer to their players "blue collar mentality".

Good to hear.

Give Petro one more shot with a 2021 team loaded with young talent.

Don’t get many do overs in life. Coach deserves this one.

Awesome. Can't wait to watch another year of poor fundamentals, poor defense and generally poor play.

And another year of Doc complaining about the non-agressive defense.
