Men's lax to play UVA

[KeithK]

Is there no requirement ot sit out a year after transferring if you have graduated from the first institution?   Is this a blanket rule for all sports and leagues?  Would a Wolverine quarterback who graduated in four years be able to play for the Buckeyes the following season as a nominal grad student?

Dunno, but it may have something to do with the fact that you are ineligible to use that granted year of eligibility at your original [Ivy] school.

I know that there is no requirement to sit out when the previous program was terminated.  We've seen that several times now in hockey.

I guess I'd be surprised if the NCAA had a rule about eligibility that made allowances for the more restrictive practices of the Ivy League.  That just seems out of character.

I believe football, men's basketball, and men's hockey are the only sports that require a transferring player to sit out a year, above exception noted.

For example, Justin Milo couldn't play hockey for Vermont this past season, but did play baseball (and led the team in hitting).

Looks like Cornell may get to see Virginia on October 11 in the fall ball event at Annapolis.  Other teams participating are:  Hopkins; Georgetown; Ohio State; Navy; and Virginia.

The team might be more interested in a rematch against Ohio State after last year's debacle. ::bang::

Back problems force Gradinger and Dorne to "retire" from lacrosse.  Defense takes a real hit.

That is unfortunate news.  Too bad for the guys, even more than the team.  I had to read this sentence a couple of times before I realized Tambroni wasn't annoying his replacements somehow.

Tambroni ticked off sophomore Chris Livadas, junior Courtney Baker, junior Michael Howe and sophomore Ethan Gilbert as the current leading cast to replace Dorne and Gradinger.

Dorne was in effect announce earlier in the roster on the web but I wondered what the story was.

Gradinger is a surprise to me but he clearly had limited mobility (maybe not the right word -- flexibility, quickness, ??) last year (and the year before) although I loved his very physical defense in close.

The defense has question marks but I hope it will be ok.

[/quote]Heh, I didn't know the IJ had Brits doing their sports writing.

Rough news for both the individuals and the team, obviously.

Yes, a big hit indeed. They'll be missed. This team already lacked depth at close defense.

I don't know about Dorne's situation, but I understand that Gradinger had been wrestling with chronic problems for years (a plague on Schoellkopf's old artificial turf). The fact that he played as much as he did says a lot about his mental toughness.

I like Livadas -- I think he'll do well and likely find a starting role either at close defense or long-stick middie alongside Moyer, Derkac and MacDonald (Feely might be in the mix too). But there's a big drop-off after that. Really big.

[markrosen]

The coaches are very high on Ethan Gilbert, another middie converting to defense. Last year they were talking about his Mitch Belisle-like potential.  Despite their great success converting mids, it's interesting how few high school defensemen they've gotten in recent years, although there are atleast two defense recruits in the next recruiting class.

[Steve Rockey]

Who will be the candidates to start at short stick defensive midfield?
