I believe he is doing a PG year at Loomis and then off to Michigan in the fall of 2026.

If you call getting 1/3 reps as a freshman and splitting reps the next 3 years and being dominant for the #1 team the last 2 years and committing to Michigan being a late bloomer, okay. Nothing late about this. This is the broken college lacrosse system.

Correct. Funny definition of late bloomer.

I mean, I agree it IS broken, for a host of reasons, but ... having watched the playoffs in their entirety, those are not kids out there on the field, they're full grown mid-20's men (which I guess is another way of saying it's broken, isnt it?). If for no other reason, the kid needs a year so he doesn't get freight trained into a spinal fracture by said men as a freshman.

This is just lacrosse catching up to the other D1 sports. The average age of a D1 hockey player is 20.

A majority of the local 2024s redshirted this season at their perspective schools. Maryland redshirted their entire freshman class. Covid taught these college coaches that you win championships with 23/24 year olds.

Coaches do anything possible within the rules to win so they can keep their jobs just like anyone else.

What kind of nonsense is this? Are you the late bloomer pp? MD didn't redshirt any freshman players. They didn't play because Tillman brings in grad students and upperclass transfers with proven track records to fill positions. He's already got 2 grad students coming from Yale next year who will definitely start.

Correct. They didn't play cuz they were “redshirted” . They all maintained the year of eligibility. The entire class. This is how Tillman keeps his playing roster as old as possible. The two incoming Yale attackman probably at least 23 years old.

Incorrect. The redshirt process has to be petitioned for by the school. Every kid loses that year unless MD petitions for a redshirt year, and those are usually only issued in case of injury or academics. A player may not play for all 4 years and lose all 4 years of eligibility. https://www.2adays.com/blog/redshirt-everything-you-neeto-know-athletes-personal-experiences/#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20Senior%20Associate,30%20percent%20of%20the%20season.

Again, going to Michigan, which has a 15% out-of-state acceptance rate. Win for the kid and the family. But a great get for Loomis as a PG since they're in the top 2-3 in the country.

You are 100% wrong. Can be initiated by kid or school and is not injury or academic only. Do some research. Draley, both Gardner kids, spencer ford and others still have four years of eligibility. Its ok to admit you don't know everything.

Landon Michigan Fogo was amazing but do not forget that they had a second incredible Fogo too who is going to Dickinson or Lafayette I believe. And that’s how you win games now in lacrosse - as someone else said previously, you can’t score goals without possession. This has completely changed lacrosse and not for the better.

Best teams in the area tend to have two things in common, great FOGOs and excellent goalie play.

Landon had both this year and last year.

An athlete gets 5 years to complete 4 years of athletic eligibility. The use of the term "red-shirt" is being mixed in here and is kind of incorrect. A player can actually squeeze out an extra year(s) of competition with the injury waiver. The MD freshman still have 4 years left.

Doesn't really matter in MD's situation. Tillman has really recruited from the portal for positional replacement.

15% is way low. It's almost 50%. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2023/10/02/um-ann-arbor-enrollment-52000-sets-another-record/71029768007/

It's a joke Michigan would force a family to take a gap year. At least Loomis really only plays other reclass factories.

The math is the fogo is 18. Goes to a reclass factory and is now 19. Plays or doesn't play at Michigan during one of his 4 years after starting at age 20 and finishes his 4-in-5 years at age 25. He could even throw in an extra year if he played a couple of games and hurts his back and gets an injury waiver and finishes at 26. Wholesome college athletics. It's something straight out of Animal House.

And to complete and accurate, not all of the freshman at MD redshirted. The ones listed above did but the pole from Loyola (PL) and the middie from NJ (JS) did not….
