Our lacrosse program got buried when we didn't get invited to join the Big East when it formed a lacrosse conference 2 years ago... ECAC isn't what it used to be and never will be.. we will continue to lose recruits to the ACC/Big East... the loss to Air Force is a disgrace for a once proud program.
Picked up an inside lacrosse magazine this fall.. their big recruiting issue... of the top 100 recruits, loyola got 1 of them.. #93... in a spot like lacrosse when there's maybe 60 teams.. that can't happen for a "top 20" program
one of the biggest misconceptions, especially amongst students, is that a top 20 ranking in lacrosse is comparable to a top 20 ranking in men's hoops... maybe the top 7 or 8 in lacrosse would be equivalent to the top 25 in hoops.
sad that now even for lacrosse we'll have to rely on what seems to be a miracle run in the conference tourney to make it back to the ncaas
