Well the hits just keep on coming. Not sure what to say at this point.  I wish Desko could match his on-field game management prowess with his recruiting efforts.  It is not uncommon for a school to lose one or two players during the recruiting process, but losing five in two months is simply unheard of. It's downright embarrassing and SU is now the laughingstock of the college lacrosse world. Can the coaching staff right the ship? I don't even know how at this point. It seems unlikely they will start flipping kids already committed to other programs, and most of the 2020 kids are spoken for at this point.

I have to say I don't share [I]any[/I] optimism in these developments. Yes, the recruiting classes have been too large over the years, but that doesn't mean we want to shed ourselves of the top ranked players. These kind of developments make me fear that the coaches will again large classes hoping to find a diamond in the rough. Too many excuses for why this is happening - school is too expensive, academics are too challenging, academics aren't prestigious enough ... give me a break.  No other school is getting pilfered like this right now.  If Desko isn't up for the fight, it's time bring someone on board who will be.
