So isn't it imaginable that a lacrosse kid not getting much love says to himself that he just wants to be a kid at college, As far as the Navy SEAL training it's all real.

Yes that's a big point. Maybe you know a few people that used to be on Maryland's team, maybe not, maybe you heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend they've been messin' around....But your apparent animus towards Tillman seems to be more personal than fact based.

SEAL training is probably hyperbole, as the SEALs do 100x tougher sht every day than any college lacrosse team. Taking some water-based training exercises from the military and adjusting them for lacrosse players could be very beneficial physically and actually could be fun. Should they just run sprints and suicides on a hot lacrosse field every day? It is also likely a great team-building activity. Nobody has drowned.

What's the problem with 4:30am boating? That's another pretty damn fun team activity that's also a great way to develop strength.

And every top 10 coach "over-recruits". Duke and Virginia are killing everyone on the recruiting trail. All of the top teams were happy to bring in Chris Gray or TD Ierlan when given the chance to upgrade what they had.

Also, there's not a college in America that doesn't have issues with alcohol or worse. College kids drink. Most handle it okay. Some can't do that and commit to high level D1 athletics. Some decide it's more fun than D1 athletics. Tons of non-athletes transfer too, and that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with them or the school theyre leaving. It's just the way it is bro.

DMAC: SEAL training at Coronado is real, not what a lacrosse team at UMD might be doing.

No coach or player has it posted as well and if they did, it was mandatory to remove it. You have no idea what goes on and for the record I'm ok with all of it. I believe if a kid can tough it out for 4 years under Tills he is much better off than the first day he stepped on campus. All I said was it is not for everyone and there is nothing wrong with that either but for the prospective Terp "Caveat Emptor" because behind all the bells and whistles there is Tills and his #bethebest mantra.

Avanzato is as good as any of the 2nd line mids. As for Wichelens he's just another casualty of Tills over recruiting and I can't wait to see the cluster at the left handed side of the offense. Do you really think Pallonetti has a shot behind Wisnauskus only a junior like Anthony Dimaio then Nick Dimaio, Ryan Siracusa both Freshman. Pretty soon guys start accepting a lesser role and go out and binge drinking because at CP there is no better college atmosphere. These young kids with big hearts and big dreams with tons of success in HS start to say What the heck after they spend a fall where Tills and Rep run them into the ground like they are at Annapolis. Every conceivable NCAA rule is broke with regards to practice time and lump in the SEAL team training where kids are jumping into pools fully clothed and start to drown or go out in a row boat at 4:30 in the am. These young men start to talk with their HS buddies and are like forget this place. This is not a knock on Tills , he's a great guy but not every kid has the stomach for that place or is willing to wait his turn in line. Dubick was a perfect example but he never was made to feel insignificant and got some man up time but it also didn't hurt that he's a legacy Terp. Great for him and he made the most of his shot but not every kid can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just another perspective so be a bit more open minded when these kids decide Terpville isn't for them. #bethebest

The Program has been around for awhile now. Our local HS participated in back in 2011 or 2012. Many organizations use them. They do a great job identifying leaders, building team work, identifying those dragging a team down etc.

It is not designed to get the men in shape per say, but to come out of this together, in order to #bethebest

There is an area just around the corner called Blandensburg. There you can use kayaks and rowboats type boats.

Probably should loop the Navy thread in for some of this idiocy. Ooooooh, The Program. It’s conditioning, before everyone got so soft all teams had severe conditioning. What they most certainly did not, and do not, have is anything remotely in any fantasy universe close to BUDS. The Maryland lacrosse players are not doing SEAL training. Stop it. Just stop it. I don’t care where their damn rowboats are. Don’t be offensive.
