Next years lacrosse team

If we're at the point (and not sure we are yet) where we can just plug a guy in to replace a Groel type/level player....

[smoke]
 
He was a key player. Not sure he is replaceable but someone has to take the spot. There are a couple of freshman coming on the D side that will make some noise pretty quickly. Not sure it will be as freshmen though.
 
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").
I somewhat agree with you about Groel only because there is no obvious replacement but, I feel like George's quickness and dodging will sorely be missed. At the end of the year Jeff was nearly an impossible match up for a SS, just look at him going at the Allen kid from UMD. Tras is just a different guy and plays a different game.

Thanks, Fam. Agree about Nordhausen. Definitely intriguing. Moves well for his size too. Any other news on the transfers?
 
Don't know for sure and wouldn't say if I did until it was announced but I know we are in discussions to ink a series with another top 10 team.

Hoping Albany. That game needs to happen someday.

Albany would be a lot of fun. Yale would as well as they've been the class of the Ivy League the last several years. I'd be in favor of dropping SB for either team in a second.
 
Albany with the Thompsons would have been...

This current team is better than the Thompson years, and will be ranked very high preseason in 18.

From a flair perspective, they have that kid Nanticoke coming in who might be a stronger version of Lyle Thompson, and just as creative.

Got in a nice "discussion" a few years ago at one of my boys tournaments on why it would have been better for Lacrosse if a Thompson brothers led Albany team was playing on Memorial Day weekend instead of ND. No reasoning with those people.

Nice to hear they have somebody like that now.
