Top 5? RU had a good year and I understand that some weapons were out of the lineup, but that's a little lofty. Rutgers was 5th in the BIG. Are MD, OSU, PSU and JHU falling off that much? ACC has 3 more powerful programs in the final 8, and UNC/UVA arent going away. Add in other programs like DU, Townson, Loyola and it's a pretty tough field. RU will be in the hunt.
Apparently reading comprehension is lacking in this thread. I called Delaware a garbage team, not RU. On paper we shouldve mopped the floor with that team.
Cali, despite your anti ACC stance, you have a great handle on lax, particularly at RU. This year's team didn't qualify, but absolutely could have won an NCAA title. Same thing next year, pretty wide open, but I expect RU to be in tournament.
No reading comprehension issues. I question calling Delaware a garbage team. NJIT not DE is a garbage team to use your verbage.
They finished 7-8 in the CAA and lost out after winning that fluke game over RU. The proof is in the pudding.
There are some who say Michigan is only a coach away from making serious noise in the community.
I don't want to put a kid's name out there. Hopefully an isolated incident.
Absolutely a great lesson to get your teeth kicked in. I return a 72 point attackmen and a 74 point attackmen, as well as our 64% goalie so that is exciting to me. We also are getting a legit fogo transfer in from out of state. A good off season and we should make a run next year.
Sounds like you played Roxbury. I won't name the kid but it's easily found.
Their righty attackmen I thought was their best player. Athletic, great ball skills, tremendous shooter and an exceptionally nice kid. He's going to Denver but not to play.
Yes he does and I think that is pretty fair considering what we bring back and what others have lost. With AC and Tras coming back and the athletic kids we have in the program and coming we can certainly make some noise next year. Adding AC to Mullins and Jules should be fun to watch. We need to get more out of some of the younger middies, but I think a first group of Casey, Chad and Tras is big strong and athletic, throw in Jordan and maybe Mazzone and a couple of the others (Schachte, Oltmans, Mead, Marks, Gillespie and Cunningham) and you can certainly make a serviceable 2nd group. Defensively they can keep their 3 poles at LSM ( Pless, Michaeli, and Bullett) and have Marron, Thompson and Nordhausen fight it out at close, although I feel like they want to use Marron at LSM or maybe move him back to middie and let him play defense.
I could see one of the Back-up poles getting a long look there and that would make room for Marron to get more run at pole. I spoke to someone close to the program who said that there will be some people leaving the program but, no one who we are counting on. I know that they really like the Nordhausen kid as he is very long (6'6").
