Buck stops with the coach. But my guess is it may have just been a team chemistry thing and they will improve in ‘22.
Or maybe the team didn’t have as much talent as you thought… A few of those players were more talked up then good

Loyola has a ton of D1 commits and they lost to St. Pauls who has almost no decent commits.

Loyola is a trainwreck at the present moment. Some of the players starting were straight good guy politics. Couple should have been benched, but hard to bench name brand players when you are not a top coach. Yea, many were D1 commit's, but frankly they were bench warming D1 commit's, which the MIAA constantly produces . Their stick skills are great, which will help the true athletics get better at D1from other areas.

Marcus Holman, Steven Kelly, Matt Dunn, Deemer Class, Jay Carlson, Jake Caraway, Jacob Stover, Bryan Constable, Cole Williams, Mark McNeil, Matt Rees, Colin Heacock, Jackson Morrill, Kyle Harrison, Garrett Epple, Tim Troutner, Brian Phipps, Ryan Brown, Ryan Conrad. Which HS league has more players playing at the highest levels? BTW 4 LBs

Can you at least attempt to be honest. All those names are from a couple years ago to many years ago. Current times with many areas bypassing the MIAA . Like I said, The MIAA provides plenty of paying full price substitutes getting players better at D1,


How was I not being honest be giving you facts? Those are guys playing at the highest level today in 2021. Also see the u20 US National team. 7 MIAA grads. Yes some MIAA players go and ride pine, quit or transfer - same as any other area. Big rosters, quality coaching everywhere, growth of the game means that rosters aren't 40% MD 40% Ny 10% other like in 80s but traditional hotbeds still producing lots of D1 starters and bench warmers alike

Never said there wasnt some star players from MIAA, majority arent that go to D1 in todays lacrosse world. Majority ride the bench, much more than in pass.

Previous poster quoted three UMD players. Two barely saw the field and one that was a starter was a prefirst, redshirt, 24/25 year old senior.
