Petro and staff fired at Hopkins. Marr's name will undoubtedly come up in the conversation as a possible replacement.

Good observation, he may even express an interest.  However; Hopkins has not been the same team for a few years plus Scott's son has graduated from Hopkins.  Unless Scott no longer feels appreciated at UAlbany, he is staying.  His roots to the Capital District have grown deep.

I would think the probability is pretty low as well, especially if his daughter takes the extra year.  If Hopkins were to reach out, Coach Marr would have to take the call.

The Sun reported Towson’s Shawn Nadelen, also a Hopkins graduate, is considered the favorite in a potential field that also includes Drexel’s Brian Voelker, Hofstra’s Seth Tierney and Hobart’s Greg Raymond.

No doubt, Scott would take the call.  Likely, Hopkins is offering a 4-year contract with the expectations of immediate success.

My impression of Roger's 6:00 PM sport segment: hype to the max.

All were rated as quality high school players.

B J  Burlace is headed to Maryland.

Scott Marr provided Inside Lacrosse with a brief statement of appreciation concerning Dave Pietramala for his assistance to Scott as a student athlete at John Hopkins, as a coach and to his family for taking his son Kyle under his wings.  Bill Tierney, Denver coach, provided a lengthy tribute.

Not sure anyone else caught it or not, but a spot on the Fan about Coach Marr and Hopkins. It was an interview with Paul Carcaterra. No new news, other than Carc saying of course Marr is on the list, and it is probably a long one.

Wyland says Marr told him he’s staying, contract thru 2023

I took his brief statement to Inside Lacrosse as a respectful acknowledgement to Dave Pietramala and startng concerns closer to home.  Looks like someone other than JHU graduate will get the job.  My other comment: Rodger Wyland thoughts on this were way off base.

Missed something

Inside Lacrosse is reporting that Yale's Jackson Morrill and Lucas Cotler have entered the NCAA Transfer Portel.  Jackson stated both had exhausted every avenue available to return to Yale.  Both are looking to attend grad school and play one more season.
