Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 2496676, member: 173"] Albany put a decent amount of focus on lacrosse; I know when Marr was hired in 2001, he said his goal was to win a national championship at Albany. It actually looked like Albany was going to break through in 2007, but the OT loss in the tourney to Cornell really set them back. After that, Syracuse started getting back into normal form and Albany has a bunch of down years...but one thing they should get credit for is sticking with Marr. He continued to grind it out and has made great inroads in recruiting as a result. I have no idea how Desko recruits so this may not be fair - but from a distance it looks like Albany (Marr) got to this point by outhustling programs like Syracuse (Desko). All that said, Albany really needs to get to the final four this year - they’ve blown a bunch of chances recently, I think they need a Final Four banner soon to point to if they are going to sustain their recruiting.
