Catherine Flaherty joins the Gators. Before Maryland: No. 13 ranked recruit by Inside Lacrosse, the highest ranked defender.

WOW! First Schettig, now Flaherty. Think it has anything to do with Thorpe? Something is going on in Turtleland. No doubt about that.

Let me get this straight...you are posting about a player who left Maryland :

The rising junior comes to the Gators from the University of Maryland, where she spent her first two collegiate seasons.

Flaherty – a Manorville, N.Y. native – saw action in four games during her collegiate career as a Terrapin.

People...take notice of the last sentence. She saw action in FOUR GAMES in her collegiate career. And that was from a team that has had defensive problems for the last two years.
Lauri Kenis(Maryland Asst) is a really good coach and has run the Maryland defense a long time. If she only put this girl on the field for FOUR games over 2 seasons, does that indicate anything?

Yes and indicates that sometimes these coaches make poor judgment calls. Or they don’t want to admit that the people they have on the fields are the wrong people. How do you not play the top ranked defender in the entire country? Or are these lists just a bunch of BS which I’ve heard people say for years. Syracuse is a perfect example of this as well. Their second mini line was not great at best and I’m hoping that KT shakes things up a little bit and starts fresh.
Flasher ty is a great player that maybe just chose the wrong school. We shall see

Could it be, perhaps, that highly touted players just don’t produce in practice? While Syracuse's second middie line, according to you, wasn’t great but those players were producing in practice? Those rankings to me are little more than fodder for people to yap about. So count me in the pool of people who think those lists are worth exactly what the paper costs to print them.

Exactly. What you do before you get there doesn’t mean squat. Prove yourself. In the case of Syracuse. That second line had more to do with geography and maybe a little nepotism. I’ve seen some others play and not sure. But I’m not gg so

So what are the 2 ACC schools Dirk's is interested in - I'm guessing it's 2 of the big 3 and likely UNC and BC. I agree both would be interested. Freshman UNC player Shannon Smith just left UNC and is going to MD. Is considered a top 3 middie in 2020 class.

She was great in a subpar schedule. The pace is not the same as bc or unc. Not sure about that. But you’re as good as those around you so maybe she will be great. I guess time will tell. More goes into a transfer than lacrosse. She’s a rising junior. Credits transferring. Money. Bc is a lot more than penn

I don't agree Dirks played a subpar schedule with Penn State this season. Nine of the thirteen games the Lions played were against ranked opponents. Four vs top 10.


Penn State University

Apr 15 - #24 Rutgers - L 16-17

Apr 18 - #20 Johns Hopkins - L 11-13

Apr 29 - #20 Johns Hopkins (QF Big 10 Tournament) - L 9-11



Overall 4-9 .308

Home 4-2

Away 0-6

Neutral 0-1

Even if she did play a sub-par schedule she lit it up at Team USA tryouts where every single player is anything but sub-par.

Nepotism?

[wlaxphan20]

Dirks to ND actually makes a lot of sense. They have a need for middies and a former HS teammate from Episcopal Academy is there now.

Yeah please explain. No way this can be about Emma Tyrrell...?

emma is first line. So I would say no

Didn't start out first line, she moved up the lineup in response to injuries.

Larry, I’m just curious, did you see my post on goaltenders playing the angle just right? If so, what did you think?

Did not see that. Where is it at?

Under the Syracuse topic, I quote/tagged you on Tuesday at 7:15pm. You should have gotten a notification.

MD did just pick up a very good defensive middie from Albany. Who actually played against Flaherty in the NY State Class B semi in 2019.

It will be interesting how she does. I really wonder what Cathy Reese is thinking taking a transfer from an unworthy conference but perhaps she is starting down the slippery slope from elite coach to mediocre coach like Jenny Levy.

Ms Rhude has really good feet, is fast and has a knack around the center circle. I am excited to see what she will do

That's funny Bart! Cathy can't slip into mediocre coach because she has 5...Count 'em...5 NCs since 2007. Nothing average about that. Haha

I don’t see it. In any event—this is it:

it appears that some may have forgotten that the championship game was a Ortega pipe shot away from having a different outcome.

That's speaks to Hall's excellence as a goalie. She played the angle so well, all she left Ortega was the pipe.

Stop it! Hall is NOT an excellent goalie. She's 69th in rankings with a Sv. Pct. just over 40(.402). In no athletic world(other than Baseball) does that equal excellence. HOWEVER, if you want to lower the standards for female goalies(at best, that's sexist. At worst, it's a cute way of saying "that's how girls play"), then you just did.
Rachel Hall had two good games...and they happen to come in the Final Four and the Final, thus her team won their first National Championship. Good for her and her team, but that doesn't make her great.

Wanna argue with me? Go look up her individual stats this season and tell me I know nothing.

It was a joke, Larry. You never heard that one before? In NHL circles it's a funny thing to say anytime a player hits the post. It works just as well in lacrosse.

And the top rated IL recruiting classes this year and next year. Haha

As it turns July 1st at midnight, I'm surprised we didn't get more public action in the portal this season vs. years past.
---One question, if anyone understands the system well.
---How long do players have to find another school?
Is their timeline just like anyone else transferring to a school or do they have to be accepted by their new school by the 1st?
If not, are they effectively off their current team's roster, aid /scholarships turned back in, and are free to land somewhere else?

I’ve seen players transfer btw fall and spring semester

[OuttaNowhereWregget]

I have no idea what all is involved with signing players off the portal, but I’m surprised no one has yet snapped up Olivia Dirks. She’s only one of 36 playing for Team USA.

could have already landed, just not announced given team usa tryouts

Transferring is not as cut and dry as everyone may think. There are many things involved.
