And Handley was with him... 
Yes. The extra year of eligibility applies to all current players.Lax3 wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 7:42 pm Apologies if I am a little thick on this question, but does this spring lack of season mean that every freshman, sophomore and junior at the Ivies can get a fourth year elsewhere? This has to drive the coaches absolutely crazy as they will develop players and then watch at least some of them move on to a fifth year at one of the powerhouse programs.
Yep. A few Harvard underclassmen have already pre-submitted themselves to the transfer portal for after they graduate. That I didn't know you could do until this year. So it's possible they know where they will play as 5th years long before they're done at Harvard.Lax3 wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 7:42 pm Apologies if I am a little thick on this question, but does this spring lack of season mean that every freshman, sophomore and junior at the Ivies can get a fourth year elsewhere?

I don’t like the one foot out the door feel for some of the players.HopFan16 wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 7:57 pmYep.

I heard that last night. I PM'd a couple of guys.spartanslynx wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 4:55 pm TD Ierlan will return and play at Yale. Him having courses left for his Political Science degree after transfering from UAlbany means that he still counts as a undergraduate

I recall that as well. TD was an Econ major at Albany according to the articles below so I’m not sure where the Poli Sci angle is coming from but whatever...
You see.... I didn't pass along bad info last night.calourie wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 9:10 pm https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/ ... ason/56379
Another article reporting the news. Got the heads up from TLD and was surprised to say the least. Yale's willingness to make this particular adjustment might lead to more concerted efforts by Cornell, Brown and Penn to pursue keeping more of their seniors. Joey Neumann's situation and choices are entirely up to him. I expect him to make the right ones for himself. He's now had two years as an understudy to arguably the best collegiate FOGO ever and knows what to expect from the program and the school as well.
TDs return, provided the spring season is a go and he stays in good health, should be nothing but a blessing for Yale's 2021 team and season. Here's wishing everyone well, and a quick end to the Covid nightmare.
Yes, and Neuman's timing seemed perfect, coming in right after 3rd Team All American Conor Mackie's graduation....calourie wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 9:10 pm https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/ ... ason/56379

Do the new f/o rules begin this year? Maybe field won't be tilted that much.FannOLax wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 9:57 pm ... Yes, TLD had a good source, and TD is tremendous. Say what you will, but TD does tilt the field in Yale's favor. Next year's Yale sophomores will have had so little collegiate playing time, it will almost be like having two first-year classes. With Morrill and Guadet gone, I could imagine Bragg moving from midfield back to his natural attack role (although after big Sam Handley burst onto the scenes at Penn, we may have entered the big, tall midfielder era). And yes, wishing everyone well, and for a return to some semblance of normality.
