SoCon Freshman of the Year in 2019, @BellarmineLax's Riley Seay entered the NCAA's transfer portal late last week. The lefty middie from South Carolina led the Knights with 30 goals and nine assists.

Freshman middie who scored 30 goals and is a bio/pre-med major? I know a school that has a pretty good pre-med program that could really use a midfielder. Petro needs to be calling this kid...yesterday.

Curious....how many pre-mad lax players in recent history at JHU? I recall Forrey Smith started out with that aspiration when he committed and has now changed.

On the current team...there's only one or two I believe.

guys have 4 years to not only play but to get the education and environment they want. it does surprise me that there's really any blowback on the student-athletes for their desire to realize that.
a culture that's threatened by transfer activity isn't much of a culture. imo.

i did share the opinion that uva shouldn't/wouldn't be bringing in gray. the nuance for me on that is they are coming off the ultimate, and with 3 guys who were at the top of their games in making that happen together. i was wrong , the hoos entertained him...i can see how that may have worked in, as either moore or laviano coming out of the box... but the ride is what made that team different, and to me they would've suffered strategically. and a month after having these guys deliver a champ, you'd be rewarding that by pulling one of them (unless it'd be gray in herring's role, which i doubt).
guessing coming in late to mcintire probably would be a no go, too.

the hoos maybe as much as anyone had jobs up for grabs every week in practice as a mantra. which is probably why he was courted.

Ultimately, Gray went to the finalist team that needed him most, with UNC’s highest-scoring returning player having a respectable but comparatively meager 32 points. Against tougher ACC competition, I don’t see Gray scoring 111 points. Still, he’s going to make a big splash in the highest-profile conference in lacrosse.

The reality is UNC is 27-21 in the last 3 years. They caught fire in May a few years back w the title, but that’s a lot of losses!! How good are they? Gray isn’t playing Holy Cross e week. Plus, he will be targeted.

I recently asked (maybe on LP), and while I know there were always a couple on the bench, the last difference-maker anybody could remember was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delverne_Dressel

Milford Marchant was not quite a Del Dressel (not too many that good), but he was a leader and difference maker when he played. He is now a an Orthopedic Surgeon. Can't keep his director Dr. Les Matthews out of the conversation either.

Probably blue ballzz too, many a mention on the Hop thread about the lack of desire able young coeds there.

Doesn't that condition have the same general effect as beer goggles?

Clearly we don't have enough real lacrosse to discuss at this stage of the off-season.

Thank you. You are, of course, correct on both counts, though Les is going back a bit. My point was we all knew lacrosse players in STEM majors, but few of them were difference-makers.

Some are pre-mad, some are mad, and many are post-mad. Doubt many pre-med.

Glad to see someone is paying attention.

[McGriff]

Duke question; what are the odds Duke will bring in an upperclass GK transfer as insurance for the 2 young GK on roster. They don't have a 2019 GK commit listed anywhere either. Would they dare start fall ball with just the two sophomore GK only?

[Comeonman]

I think the only name keeper out there is Willy Klan. But he’s already transferred once, from OSU to Cuse. That would probably give Danowski and the admissions crew second thoughts. No real burn at either place as well.

[AreaLax]

Isn’t Brandau the goalie from Georgetown still in the transfer portal?

Klan was one of the first members of his family to not go to Syracuse. He wanted to be closer to home so he left OSU for Syracuse. I am surprised Klan never got much action but OSU has had good goalies. Do you know if Klan graduated? I can’t remember his class.

[Comeonman]

I don’t think Klan graduated yet. He was most recently listed as a red shirt Junior. He hasn’t played much at all in his career at OSU and Cuse, but he was on the U19 USA team so he must have some chops. In terms of Brandau, he was a back up last year and only started the last two games for GTown. He is still out there but I don’t see Danowski taking a third sophomore goalie with limited experience.

Redshirt has nothing to do with academic standing. I was wondering if he graduated. Jack Falk was a redshirt junior. He graduated UVA and went to Duke. I wish Klan the best. Nice kid.

Admin reports Colin Munro going to GT

Haven't heard anything about either of the transfers from UMd: Wichelns and Avanzato.
Either could be a nice plus for a mid-major program.

You don't think they would be a nice plus for a major program?
