Not the whole staff, OC to Navy..
I think there's so much to be excited about for Brown lacrosse and don't think they are somehow disfavored in recruiting as against their Ivy brethren. Brown is a great school beloved by students and alums; this athletic department comes across as very committed to Brown lacrosse; and the Ivy League is still a desirable destination in many lacrosse hotbeds. Torpey seems like an inspired hire and I like the Wisnauskas hire a lot. And what's good for Bruno is good for the Ivy League!Counselor wrote: ↑Tue Jul 09, 2024 8:04 pm By my count Brown should have close to 60 on its roster this fall….that’s supposed to breed competition they say….should enable Brown’s aggressive new coaching staff some maneuverability in their new schemes….a far cry from the years of 36/37 during the Tiffany era…..the IL podcasters were extremely positive as to Brown’s prospects under Torpey but postulated that it would have to undertake recruiting strategies not adopted by its Ivy competition ……not sure that’s true as Torpey’s solid and genuine nature should attract the best of the best …..throw in the recent T award winner and there should be those wanting to emulate Wisnauskas up close and personal in the outstanding success he has had in the game….Coach Cawley’s career at Penn State should add some reality to the “Brown State” label that Brown likes to adopt …
As a Terp, I am jealous you guys get Logan! He is young but will bring coach Tilman experience with him too! You are super lucky to have him. He’s also from McDonogh HS, pretty sure the No 1 recruit last year was from there…..bearlaxfan wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2024 10:41 am Fairly young ACs.
Chakey a 2016 grad, has run the coaching tree: HS (or prep), D3, D1
Wianauskas 2022 grad, very young, "only" a volunteer assistant at HPU. He is the AC? Torpey was a D guy as an assistant, right? Going to be a real interesting year.
As of now there is the alumni game on October 12th and a Rutgers scrimmage on October 27th in New Brunswick. That’s all I’ve heard.bearlaxfan wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2024 10:43 am Any word on fallball plans? In the recent past it's been the alumni game & maybe one other. Maybe as new hires they might do more, to evaluate the squad against opponents rather than against intrasquad or alums, or relying on film. How did Torpey do it at HPU?
That's confirmed on the Rutgers side as well. I wouldn't be surprised if this game is moved back to a regular season game in the not too distant future like the two game series the schools had several seasons ago.
If I'm not mistaken, in the Ivy League, you can't have completed all your credits prior to a final season. So, not taking classes and thus also can't practice with team.Crazyeights wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2024 7:20 am Can you please explain why these students need to take off the fall to play on the spring? Do you mean they aren’t taking classes in the fall? Or just not practicing? Apologies if this is obvious to all of you! Newbie here.
The class of '24 was the last with extra COVID time. To my knowledge you can't be a grad student and compete in any Ivy sport.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2024 10:05 amIf I'm not mistaken, in the Ivy League, you can't have completed all your credits prior to a final season.

With Covid (or medical redshirt), guys have had more total years allowed to do the school time and play ball. But unless it's a graduate work season, you can't have completed your undergrad credits. Due to Covid, they lifted the restriction against being able to be a grad student and play ball, but I'm not sure that's still in effect.
I think this may be the last batch of seniors with any Covid time left...
Someone more up to date?
yes, that was always the case re grad students, but there was some sort of dispensation during Covid if you could get into a grad program at your own school, not transfer in. Probably expired.BrownDad wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2024 10:10 amThe class of '24 was the last with extra COVID time.

Yes. The Class of 2024 seniors will have one more season and complete their 8th semester in the spring. I hear most of them will be in the area though so maybe they'll be able to practice with each other and still be a part of the team (on the weekends).MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2024 10:05 amIf I'm not mistaken, in the Ivy League, you can't have completed all your credits prior to a final season.
