I believe there are close to 20 hitting the yard this summer. We should be in god shape.

The D, GK, LSM, and FO all return battle tested.

Coach Sowell and staff have some serious pondering and planning. God....I hope they entertain some serious O schematic changes. Let em play within a high motion standard and develop chemistry during EVERY practice.

I was thinking the exact same thing. 6 & 8 were terrific players.
Executing this scheme consistently was the problem.
We know 22, 11, 31 & 5 can score.
Add a couple hockey assist middies in a passing & motion (rather than dodging) based scheme.

Do we know 22,11,31,5 can score? Consistently at the level of a good offense? I am not so sure. I do think 21 can

Two things that jump out at me are:
1- I'd have thought that PSU's O would be at the top of the heap. Maybe along with Loyola. Surprising.
2- I don't think that it's a coincidence the that top Point-Getting Teams not only have a Top 5 that perform but a Top 1 that performs.

Continuing the discussion on restructuring the current Navy Offense for the 2020 Season....

So crunching some numbers to get a peek at what the current landscape looks like regarding the top 5 scorers for the PL and a few OOC to compare. One thing that stood out was the more successful teams are averaging around 130+ goals by end of regular season from their top performers. As with any stat, there are other metrics to be applied. The reason I pulled this together was to scratch an itch that Navy simply does not score enough.....yea something we already knew. BUT what really drove me to do this, was our peers in the PL are doing it much enough better than we are....Lehigh is the exception which may be that they play extremely slow pace, as they are in the bottom 7 of D1 for pace of play.

Any other ideas or takeaways???

The bulk of the goals came from attackman and assists from a converted attackmen to midfield. #22 can shoot righty and lefty, I know #11 can shoot, and if RS puts them on the field then you know he believes and trusts them.

Does anyone know the real reason both of them decided to leave? Reppert was an alum for crying out loud. I know that both of them would have loved to have been able to stay on the yard if they would have been given the same opportunities they currently have at Maryland and Georgetown. What a shame. It is certainly frustrating to see both of them thrive with their offense, and Navy continue to struggle offensively.

SonnySide,
Good to rehash especially with your perspective as a recent player. Since you played for both OCs, why did they leave? Would you please share the real reasons? Reins were too tight, etc?

Also, do you think that both of them would have had the same results at Navy as they have had at Maryland and Georgetown, respectively? Would their offensive strategies have worked at Navy if they didn't leave? Why was there was more success under Phipps than Reppert? Does personnel explain it or were there other factors?

Any suggestions to improve the program beyond changes on the offensive front? How is the recruiting effort and is there anything that can change there?
Go Navy!
