Rewkowski was a bigger force for Hopkins in '04 - blew out his knee and returned late in '05 and clearly scored some goals though a shadow of the player he was at Duke and the year prior.
Look, I am not denying the impact of transfers in Hopkins NCAA history - I also don't begrudge Maryland - Rutgers or anyone for obtaining transfers. I have no bias to home grown talent - I merely said team chemistry has to be a factor to be considered. Sag came up with a pull for the '87 team - '07 is clear - Hopkins had a very impactful transfer in Bocklett but he did not score goals. '74 - With FW/JT/RK/RH/BN/DK doing virtually all of the scoring that year was there an impactful transfer? Can't recall. Also 79 - I am looking at the box scores - were any of those guys transfers - again 43 years ago - can't remember

'79 may have been Scott Baugher, I seem to recall, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Pretty incredible player by the way. He had a worm burner that was just about impossible to stop.

Scottie was Manhasset 74. Went to W&L and played there in 75. Transferred to the Hop. Had to sit out a year as per the rules at the time. Played 77 78 and 79. Integral midfielder on 2 championship teams at the Hop.

Brother or cousin of Harry Baugher? Harry was my PAL coach when I was young lad.

I believe Harry is his brother.

Thanks, he taught me a lot about lacrosse.

Joe

He is back at Hopkins Teaching Econ.

they upgraded the rec center and built the matin center at homewood and just tore down both. University facilities upgrades some are so enamored with seem to have a shelf life of 10 years or so before the they are considered outdated and need an upgrade. Except of course the amrs which seemingly will never change.

So far to win in 2023 we're at
-needing fancy charter flights for the 2-3 trips a year a program that hasn't made a ff in 7 years has "earned" (quint)
-a bubble (assorted alumni)
-more relaxed admissions and off field behavior standards which have cost us recruits and active players (assorted message board posters)
-More time so that the staff can wait out the players from the prior staff and get their own true freshmen recruits on campus HF16, 51.

Hopkins has had a better season than syracuse and one fanbase is going to go into next year w/its feathers on fire if the next 2 weekends are a bust and the other is already keeping its schedule open for memorial day weekend. Just an incredible contrast.

Syracuse allegedly has the top recruiting class coming in. Hopkins doesn't. You can see why they would be more bullish.

HopFan16 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 12:54 pm I don't disagree with any of that, but I was responding to the idea that kids are choosing Jax over big-time programs. The truth is the players Jax has now were never even offered that choice and I'm skeptical that they will be in the near future. You seemed to be implying that has either happened already or is soon to, apologies if that's not the case.

I'm implying that the big programs----especially those who were victims of early recruiting----- are the problem, not the other way around.

In other words, it was a mistake that Hopkins, Syracuse, etc. let these kids go because they had already made their choices based on 9th grade play. There are only so many scholarships to go around, and if you're already pot committed? You don't have the chance to pick US seniors, and in some cases juniors....who SHOULD be ranked higher as recruits.

And it's chicken and egg with IL.....were they highly ranked recruits simply because Hopkins/UVa etc. got a verbal from a 9th grader? Or did they start as highly ranked recruits, and THEN were inked by a top program. My vote is on the former in many, many cases.

We'll never know, I guess. Appreciate the back and forth, and best of luck against Penn St. today.

Harry Baugher is teaching at JHU? I thought he was living in Austin TX.

Empty stadium and down by 1 early.

Hop with 14 shots in Q1, but only 6 on goal.

Is Callahan hurt? How have we not seen him after he dominated PSU a few weeks ago

EDIT: Announcer says banged up in practice, questionable to play

Those are Epstein's 98 and 99 goals. Given that this could be the final game of his JHU career, it would be nice to see him get that 100th

penn state looks awful.

onto maryland.

Great response after last week. Phenomenal defensive effort and execution. Just shows you that this year's Maryland offense is uniquely and devastatingly good.

Not much entertaining or positive about this game other than the Jays up. Penn is atrocious.

Is it though? I think this has more to do with Penn State being bad than the Jays playing well

This Hopkins feed/production is one million times better and more professional than what Michigan and Ohio State have put out there on B1G+. Props to the athletic department. The difference between a school that cares about lacrosse and ones that don't

They are not a very good team, but they put up 14 against the #4 team in the country last week and took them to overtime.

They have generationally-good offense, IMO. Not just the game against us. If they kept their foot on the gas every game, they would easily average >20/ game and would have several games >30.
