HopFan16 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 05, 2023 1:29 pm There's no narrative. I would be skeptical of anyone who claims to know exactly how recruiting processes work on any staff unless they're in the room. What I do know is that most of the in-person evaluating at recruiting events is done by assistants, at Hopkins and everywhere else. Head coaches get out on the circuit a couple times a summer but definitely far less often than their assistants in almost every instance. How the staff then ranks kids they've evaluated, forms a plan, and chooses who to pursue and how to pursue them is anyone's guess. My assumption is the head coach is heavily involved in that second part.

This recent flip is from Long Island, so Crawley may have led the charge there. Who knows. Honestly...who cares?

Here was the 2023 retrospective from US Lax Mag that '06 has been anticipating so feverishly. Long story short: It was a good year and the Jays appear to be back on track. We didn't need Patrick Stevens to tell us that: https://www.usalaxmagazine.com/college/ ... rojections

24 All-Star Game, he showed his talent as an initiator and distributor from behind. A slick player with all the required athleticism, he'll be an asset to any team at the next level.

Ontario finals tied at 2-2.

fit him into that crowded midfield line mix - 2nd line,
he’s solid and tough on ground-balls, he could be an asset as a wing on face offs,
quick shot and solid placement, so test him out on man up.

Marquis doubled his point production this year over last in the Ontario league - he must have taken the end of year improvement challenges from the Hopkins coaches seriously - he’s making a real case for more playing time next year.

That Canadian box league has really small goals and heavily padded goalies. Not a lot of room to shoot at on goal. Tons of blocks and saves.
If you can score consistently in that league, you have to be a very precise shooter. If he drew a shortie at midfield in the college game, you'd have to think he could score on the 6x6.
