Message: [QUOTE="Laxwizard22, post: 3016923, member: 7046"] I haven’t been able to post as much as I’ve wanted to recently, but I figured I’d thrown in a couple opinions. First hats off to this group of kids-they had a great season and when they lost to Colgate, they showed tons of maturity by righting the ship and growing into a top 15 team. It’s also not like we just lost to bingo-Loyola is year in and year out a top 10 program as of late. Here’s my biggest issue: I truly like Desko and respect what he’s done. I also think Donahue is arguably the smartest lacrosse mind in the game. However like others have said, something has to change. Doesn’t have to be Desko, maybe just one of the assistants. Someone said earlier how the 2 biggest issues with the program have a strong correlation w Rodgers-recruiting and defense. I’m sorry we do have a ton of talent coming in the next 2 classes no doubt, but with Syracuse’s legacy and facilities we should be signing top 10 classes EVERY year. A lot of people (including myself) were excited about this 2018 class. If I recall correctly, they were still ranked the 16th best class in the country by IL (something along those lines). I live in the CNY area, and I can name 6-7 section 3 players that will be playing division 1 lacrosse out of Ny state that could very well be wearing orange in the future. That never used to happen. I also realize that the game is growing and we won’t dominate the local landscape like we used too. However we should have at least 3-4 out of those 6-7. The defense has also been a problem. Did we have GREAT moments at times this season defensively? Yes. But, you have 3 seniors starting at close D, and have 3 really good/somewhat experienced guys you can go to at LSM plus a reliable athlete at SSDM in Dearth/great goalie in Porter. This defense should have been top 5 or 10 in the country. My apologies for the long post, but I just had a ton to get off my chest [/QUOTE]
