Philly we are definitely headed in the right direction. Chemotti is a great coach, who has been to and won a national championship as the assistant to Loyola. His friends are coaches of the elite programs. But, we’re at that point where some teams just as soon avoid us. Like other sports, basketball comes to mind, where a top team doesn’t want to play a Richmond in lacrosse because they feel that they have more to lose thanNot a Lacrosse guy, but enjoying the Spiders success in the sport. Anxious to hear from the lax folks on what I have to say.
Where does Lax go from here with the program? We're certainly good, but also certainly not (yet) a true national power. We are elite in a lesser conference. We can beat the big boys. . . . but not regularly (and not (yet) at the end of the season). We can get a few recruits that the true big boys are after, but not the truly elite recruit and not quite enough of the ones that the National powers are after to raise us up to that level.
So where do we go and how do we get there or is this sort of it. Do we need a new conference - - - and is there anywhere that seems possible.? Will an NCAA win push us meaningfully forward or is our place in the lacrosse world going to be sort of where it is - - - really good, but not elite, capable of big wins (maybe even the occasional NCAA win), but maybe not a big run of them etc?
Its interesting, I think we'd have all signed on for the level of success we have seen (especially as quickly as its come), but now I am wondering is there more we can be? Can we be the Gonzaga of lacrosse - - - a truly elite level team with regular success at the highest levels (on the filed and in recruiting) or is that realistically out of reach given the lax landscape (about which I know nothing!)? And if its attainable, what has to happen for us to get there??
Actually, you make a good point.Who do you think is ducking playing us? We've played Marquette, Duke (multiple times), North Carolina (multiple times), Notre Dame (w/ this season--multiple times), Virginia (multiple times), Maryland, St. Joe's, Fairfield (ranked when we played them) and Navy this year.
UR will be scrimmaging St Joe’s and Towson mid October in Philly.
I am relatively new to lacrosse. Would someone please explain what this means? Thanks.
