    My last words on the NCAA First Round .... what happened to Georgetown .... Delaware becomes an example of a program that has clawed its way back.... lastly Rutgers .... a transfer portal dominated team ..... how long will it last .....Vermont will have a few holes to fill

    One of my buddies who I grew up with is a Rutgers grad. We talk several times per week.  He commented early on about all of the SENIOR and grad transfers they had.  May not holdup next year.  They got absolutely hammered by Maryland during the season though. Are we looking at a rematch?

    I think everyone, including the coaches are happy that season is over. As far a defense getting worse.  Don't necessarily COMPLETELY agree.  Played very well against Yale and Penn [except for 4th Q against Penn].   VT has beaten us 7 or 8 in a row.  That creates a mental issue for a team, especially playing at their home.  Just saying. 

    My main bitch is leaving Sr.  Close D LP in even though it is OBVIOUS they can not move laterally and can not slide and are slow [unnamed 'leader"].   Going forward  I think D coach needs to start working on more Man and at least CHALLENGING at close quarters rather than this 3 - 5 feet.  Many teams have been firing away from 10 -15 yards because of that.  They have tightened up on coming around the corner near the goal but what good is that when they do NOT Challenge guys with the ball in front of the net??  That partly depends on talent, which goes to recruiting but also goes to coaching - staying to far from the competing attack players [our close def is just too slow].

    By the way how do these other schools get Sr and Grad transfers and we do not?  Maybe Rhetorical but..................  VT had how many, Binghamton had how many?   Rutgers who is ranked top 3 had 8 or 9 Seniors who transferred in.  I have a good friend who is a Rutgers grad and was excited about that - I guess it worked for them too..........

    We need some big FAST - at least laterally - Long stick close D guys...................won't solve all the issues but will help.

    I think Marr does an excellent job with what he has.  COACH if you are reading this, you have enough ATTACK, seems that is always the focus.  Get some long stick two-way middies and big laterally fast and quick reacting close D........  Other teams in the league seem to get them.

    Wow, so 2 FBS transfers competing? Any clue how the CSU transfer looked at the Spring Game?

    Looked Good.  Good throws, Was flushed once and ran well,  Much smaller knee support than he had for most of the spring.  Carino looked good too, as did # 18.   Lots of QB's.........

    Others looked good too.  Not sure what this means

    He is smaller, Joey Carino size.  Like 6' 1" 204...

    I'd guess 200-300 in attendance, mainly family and friends.

    Hard to tell without real tackling, but the running game didn't seem to do much.

    I think they used four quarterbacks, Joe Tortello impressed me the most. They threw to the tight ends a lot, especially early. WR Tyler Merwarth went up for a couple of nice catches. A couple of open receivers were missed by inches.

    Kicking game missed a 35-yard FG, was 3-for-3 on extra points, had a punt blocked. The two punts kicked did not go more than 35 yards past the line of scrimmage.

    Agree, they rotated everyone in  which is what this game is for.   I did not notice  Merwarth to be honest but did notice WR  Easton #13, Rose #28, Zinobile #17,.  Rb Banton #26 looked good, Sibley #0 looked good too,  Gotta remember that plays are stopped early in a game like this.  QB #12 Corina looked good as did #4 Valecce (had a much lighter brace on his knee than he had most of the spring - did get flushed once and made a nice run.    #18 Szalkowski did fairly well too. QB's DID throw the ball out of bounds rather than take a sack [they wouldn't allow sacks anyway]. I did not focus that much on the interior OL or DL.  We had a two starters out on the OL 70 and 73, on the sidelines walking.  #68 looked good and 4 TEs rotated and all caught passes and blocked well but like I said did not really focus on the interior guys.

    DEF looked REALLY good!  New Kid Simon #96 and RS Freshman  #97 Obiagu were nice on the DE's and pass rush. LB's look fast a strong and hit, rotated new kids in.  Secondary made some great plays.
