Keep the info coming Area. Season tickets arrived today. Not all have game times yet
Speaking to someone who was at today’s @DukeMLAX vs @TerpsMLax scrimmage, @DizzyDante "will be special sooner rather than later."
Was playing SSDM for the Terps today.
I knew he was on the roster, but part of me was holding my breath on whether he'd suit up until this moment.
Tills and Trader have both said he'd play shorty. I don't think Coffman played, and I'm not aware of Redd playing with a short stick before; but he's a really good athlete. So it's not surprising to see him getting time there. I don't know if that's a long term thing or not.MoralTerpitude wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 4:33 pm Interesting about Redd. Has he ever played short-stick for the Terps, or in high school?
Sounds like Wicks is locked in as one of the SSDMs, along with Lacey and presumably Coffman.
Trader had talked about just wanting to contribute however he could, as opposed to being a regular player. Perhaps he’s ahead of schedule as a RS freshman?
Wheels, did your friend mention who the played close D, and if any of the usual back-ups or freshmen stood out?
Stamos has always played with a pole. He was a defenseman in high schoolWheels wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 9:39 pm George Stamos, a HS midfielder from West Potomac in NoVa, has moved to close defense and got some run. He's a really good athlete (All-State HS football player). Thought he'd play shorty but has apparently picked up a pole from what I heard. Reminiscent of Geppert, who came to Maryland as a middie.

Yep.. West Potomac is not a very good program and when you have a player who can do anything on the field, you use that to your advantage.Wheels wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 11:59 pmhttps://umterps.com/sports/mens-lacross ... amos/10815HopFan16 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 10:17 pmStamos has always played with a pole.

• Graduated from West Potomac High School in Alexandria, Virginia.
• Named USA Lacrosse All-American.
• Named First-Team All-Met by the Washington Post as a senior in 2022.
• Helped the Wolverines to their first Virginia regional championship as a senior.
• Led the team in goals (30), assists (31), caused turnovers (69) and groundballs (163).
• In football, named to 2021 Class 6 All-State First Team as an All-Purpose player on offense.
• Played club lacrosse for DC Express.
So he scored 61 points as a long pole? Or have they gotten his bio wrong on their website?
If you're a FOGO, 163 GBs could happen...but the 70 CTs?!!!Laxguy703 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 12:16 amYep..

Stamos is a very good player who could definitely make an impact sometime in his terp career.
Here is a highlight for reference: https://www.hudl.com/v/2HUwsp
Serious question: What would be harder.. scoring 61 points as a pole or 163 GB’s and 70 CT as a shortie?
Wow starting the true freshman at attack. Must be pretty damn good or depth is lacking. Surprised Kelly wasn’t a starterWheels wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 7:48 pm Posted this on a MD site, too, but here's what I heard from someone close to the program who was at the scrimmage.
The Terps won 12-7. The Terps are really deep but still looking for an identity. With so much depth, team will get better and better as the season progresses.
Long and Maltz didn't play, and some others who might see more prominent roles didn't play today either.
Erska played the 3rd attack spot. Siracusa, Erska, and Tucker played well.
The defense is legit. Shorty group of Redd (usually a LSM), Lacey, Trader, and Wicks stood out.
Duke's depth is going to be an issue for them. On offense, it's O'Neill or bust.
Like you'd expect, the scrimmage was turnover filled for both teams.
I think the A was Murphy, Kelly and Erska.masondixonlax wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 3:18 pmWow starting the true freshman at attack. Must be pretty damn good or depth is lacking.

Thanks. Looks like the shorties have a shot at being pretty solid. It will be interesting to see if Trader is given the rope to run transition and shoot, a la Puglise - he appears to have the skills to do it.Wheels wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 9:39 pmTills and Trader have both said he'd play shorty.

Makar, Zap, and Colin Burlace at close. Larkin will get some looks. Tills has said Schaller has impressed at LSM (although McDonald might be the #2 LSM behind Geppert). George Stamos, a HS midfielder from West Potomac in NoVa, has moved to close defense and got some run. He's a really good athlete (All-State HS football player).

If Coffman, Lacey, Trader, Wicks/Redd play well, that defense is going to be so good. The offense is going to take time to gel, so the D might have to carry them early. Might be lots of close games, so thankfully Luke Wierman wears red, white, black, and gold!
