Tough call on which it is.
Remember in 21, they had something like 22 senior D1 prospects on the team.
But they couldn't win a game that mattered. They lost to a team in the first round of the playoffs they handled in the regular season.
Start a Loyola forum, this getting ridiculous. Stop complaining or leave.
If your son has plans to play lacrosse at a higher level than D3 you should leave Loyola. Not many good players coming out of Loyola in recent years. It doesn’t look like it’s getting any better so my advice would be to find a school that at least has a good coach and some meaningful wins. St. Paul’s is looking pretty good!
St. Paul's was 1 win better in league play than Loyola and lost to the Dons head to head by 4 goals.
JC beat CH last year! We all know CH is the better school with better coaching. Same thing with Loyola and St. Paul’s. Send your kid to St. Paul’s! Better education and coaching! More kids going to solid D1 schools!
The jury is out on the coaching at LB. They have repeatedly done less with more the past 2 years if IL and those college coaches were right with their assessments. Looks like a possible trend.
They have good coaching at JC. They do more with less and develop their kids. But smaller numbers hurt them. They will remain an underdog until they get bigger classes.
They have good coaching at CH. But they often do less because they have more kids and struggle with developing game ready depth. The attackman and goalie injuries the past 2 years really exposed those issues. They are minor issues. But I expect BK to iron those things out.
The jury is still out on StP coaching, but the arrow really seems to be pointed up. Especially compared to the stagnant past few years. They are loaded in the underclass and have a couple exciting pieces at midfield that should make a big impact in the league next year. Not sure there are any LSMs that will be able to hang with them. They will be a force to be reckoned with over the next 2 years.
