John Tillman Speaks on the Fate of Jake Bernhardt for 2012

from inside lacrosse.com

“Maryland isn’t yet ready to pull the plug on midfielder Jake Bernhardt’s season. The senior has not played in the Terps’ five games this year with an injured left shoulder.

“We’d have to think about it, no doubt,” coach John Tillman told the Baltimore Sun’s Ed Lee this week, when asked about possibly ending his season and redshirting. “I think we’re going to keep working with him. He was running around yesterday on the practice field. I think he’s got full mobility and stuff. I think it’s just a matter of how quickly he comes along. But we need to keep that in mind with how far into the season are we getting. If we get too far, is it worth bringing him back only for a few weeks? I think that’s something I would ask him to talk about with his family first and then based on what they think, I’ll give them my two cents and then we can go from there because it’s obviously a big decision for him.”

“I think because of just the emotional component of getting hurt, I didn’t really want to go down that road,” Tillman said. “I kind of wanted to just let things play out and let him settle in and see how things went and come back to it and see how he was doing. Obviously, we’d love to have him out there. He’s one of our best athletes and most experienced guys.”
