I understand Spencer has already had significant verbal commitments at Stanford, which may or may not be public yet.tothedraw wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 8:02 pm To those with better knowledge (Rafterjack) how many of Dartmouth's starters are Spencer recruits ? Not to take away from current coach - she obviously can do her job. Spencer was there only 3 years after some turmoil - which I am not encouraging the discussion of. Would imagine the Hanover location and academic requirements would be a hurdle, but she obviously left the team in good standing which I think is impressive based on timeline. Good on them. Will be interesting to watch Stanford trajectory over the next few years. My lacrosse nerd side is showing. Loving all the games that are making 5-20 spots unpredictable ! I'm also kind of fascinated by Ivy tiers of success and the why's and why nots for those teams.
I would assume that many/all of the soph and junior classes are Spencer's. Are the seniors Patten recruits? Either way, a lot of very able players who played today with an impressive discipline. Frank and Spencer are from the same coaching and playing lineage, and it is clear that Dartmouth is a good fundamentals team. They clear well, play good defense over long periods, play patient offense, shoot pretty well, are good at the FP line. All in all, I came away very impressed.tothedraw wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 8:02 pm To those with better knowledge (Rafterjack) how many of Dartmouth's starters are Spencer recruits ?

They were smart to eat big chunks of clock down the stretch too.seacoaster wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 8:27 pm ...a lot of very able players who played today with an impressive discipline... it is clear that Dartmouth is a good fundamentals team.

Exactly; clock management under pressure is a sign of good coaching and intelligent kids.wlaxnut wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 8:40 pmThey were smart to eat big chunks of clock down the stretch too.seacoaster wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 8:27 pm ...a lot of very able players who played today with an impressive discipline... it is clear that Dartmouth is a good fundamentals team.

Maybe the front end of a home and home series?Badlands wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 7:28 pm Watching replay of this game. Big Green have some speed and good athletes that Florida probably was not expecting.
I’m trying to understand why Gators would schedule this game. Extremely hard school to get to, long trip from FL, early season and weather could’ve been much worse than it was, only to turn around and fly home. They didn’t even tack another game up in New England onto the trip. Plus, why go that far to play a game that you’re expected to win? Doesn’t really make sense to me.
That may be. There must be some back story, though, why Florida would go all the way to Hanover in early March instead of other comparable Ivies (or teams in other conferences) that are much easier to access, which is pretty much every Ivy other than the Big Red. I'm assuming part of the motivation is O'Leary's history with the Ancient Eight.seacoaster wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 8:18 pmMaybe the front end of a home and home series?Badlands wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 7:28 pm Watching replay of this game.
