Good to hear, I know a high school player (boy) who had the same injury, very scary. Played in college with no issues .

Random, but just wondering what happened to Georgetown. Fantastic academics, gorgeous campus in a great location, and a notable athletic program. Back when I was being recruited (2011/2012 ish) Georgetown was a top program. And lots of girls wanted to play for Ricky Fried. What happened?

Thinking 
it was maybe between 2005 and 2010 when as a ‘Pollster’ we were a rowdy bunch and Paul Allen (Bill Allen?) didn’t publish my post and I got a, in effect, ‘pink slip’. A big shot at the time … what the? Stay tuned they don’t make ‘em anymore like they did in my day once did … please don’t be offended.

Search around this forum for more detailed explanation. FWIHH, the short answer is, square peg round hole. Ricky has schemes. Instead of adjusting the scheme to the players, the players get "adjusted" to the scheme. This is primarily on Offense. The result is underperformance by players that could/should be better.truster49 wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 1:40 pmWhat do you mean?Dr. Tact wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 12:43 pmRicky happened.truster49 wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 12:31 pm Random, but just wondering what happened to Georgetown.

I agree that that is the main problem there. So would you say this is a recruiting issue? Collage coaches, unlike high school, have the luxury of choosing(!) their players to fit how they want to operate. At high school you have to adjust what your plan is based on what your athletes look like- deliberate v fast break offense, playing zone etc. If his players don't fit his scheme then why is he choosing them? Or at this point can he not get the type of player he wants?Dr. Tact wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 2:04 pmSearch around this forum for more detailed explanation.

Doc touched on it. It really doesn't matter who he recruits because they all have to fit into his system. Francesca Whitehurst was an absolute stud and was forced to play in his structured system that didn't make use of her abilities at all. Things have gotten worse as the game has evolved and he still plays basically the same system he has for 30 years. I mean the guy couldn't coach Team USA to a World Championship on US soil. Not sure what he's ever done to have the reputation he has other than been the coach at a top school like Georgetown all these years. What's he ever won there? The fact that the Gtown Athletic Department seems to be mostly apathetic about the wlax program has served him quite well.tothedraw wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 2:16 pmI agree that that is the main problem there.

My daughter was a top 10 recruit had a lot of interest from schools etc . Wanted to be a lawyer so GT was a good fit. Met Ricky and toured the facility. Got in car “he’s kind of a weird guy and I got a weird vibe from him - don’t see me playing here “tothedraw wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 2:16 pmI agree that that is the main problem there.

It’s just another magazine article. I’d hardly even call it a trophy. I really don’t set much store in LaxMag or IL awards lists.Madlax59 wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 12:43 pmSo lax mag AA list is out .

So IWLCA put out All Region teams. Glad they gave kudos to the two defenders from Carolina. This list def is more meaningful than the magazine lists.wlaxphan20 wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 12:54 pmIt’s just another magazine article. I’d hardly even call it a trophy.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but this is a good read on Maryland's Eloise Clevenger, who broke the program record for most assists in a game the day before her mom passed away from breast cancer.

Probably is better suited for the HS board but there’s much less traffic there..
Did they retire the HLA award? I didn’t see any announcements for finalists or a winner from this past weekend.
