First post here; I'll go into a little background about myself. Grew up in CNY, got into lacrosse because of Casey and Ryan Powell and watching them play at Syracuse. Played high school, JUCO and Club lacrosse at a private university in WNY. I still play lacrosse year round into my mid 30s. Also born on April 7th (2003 was a great year) for those basketball fans out there.
Regarding Desko, firing him would be a mistake in my opinion. It would throw the program into disarray...
Really smart and considerate post.
I'm not a LAX head as much as a fan (and now parent to a kid that is young/decent talent wise). But to benchmark Princeton as a downside, shouldn't one benchmark UVA, Penn State, etc., when talking about the good a change can do?
Recruiting is so much part of the game and hearing about the lack of contact or interest falls directly on Desko. SU is resourced pretty well in the scheme of things and unlike when we lost a step in football (facilities) or basketball (probation), SU lacrosse has suffered due to expansion of the game. That's understandable, but when #22 is unused for this amount of time, it's also symbolic of recruiting.
Teams looks very promising for next year, but no idea how that looks versus the rest. Have to think we look better than 9th/10th in the country though. Big year for Desko.
