USA LACROSSE has Loyola as somewhere between 21-23 in pre season rankings. I really think that the Hounds are being underestimated. They bring back the entire attack group (Poitras, Minicus and James) as well as their starting middies (Higgins, Kamish and Lindsay), their FOGO (Pacheco) and Goalie (S...

What are the odds that James will play mid? None. That's what I thought. Of course, during the season, anything could happen. But... None. Thanks, Former. Agreed, James is a player we need on the field at all times, he’s dangerous on the wing as a spot shooter and can also create for his own. The a...

None.

Any thoughts on rising stars on the roster? I don’t think there’s “stars” that can takeover like what we had with Spencer, but I think we have a couple guys who are better than advertised. If they run the attack line of minicus, poitras and James where they have minicus run as the guy behind the go...

Poitras was a beast all day. Haberman played great. Figuring out second middie group with Higgins coming back in spring and Minicus coming back to attack. Think Core had a goal and McGorry had two or three. Heuston is a beast and Binney being a lefty can shoot. Very impressive day for the hounds. I...

Scrimmage v High Point and Villanova Sunday. Anyone know the times?

Heard Loyola whipped them except at FO which was not good for the Hounds. Loyola really good in goal Killed UMBC. Heuston started things off with a lefty goal. West, McCulloch, Kamish, Haberman, McGorry, were notable goal scorers. Defense played well without a couple starters. Bunch of guys out wit...

Hounds v UMBC Friday at 7:00. Who’s going?

Those who have been inside the program, what its like to be recruited by the coaches? If i'm honest, i am a little surprised that no 2025's have committed yet to the program My experience when I was recruited was that Toomey was always looking for Diamonds in the rough. He knew Loyola didn’t have t...

Was told by another alum that they start out Georgetown, MD, Hopkins, Towson and Rutgers. Wow.

Just got notice that Hounds will also scrimmage UMBC on 10/6 as part of alumni weekend

https://loyolagreyhounds.com/sports/mens-lacrosse/roster?sort=class Full roster is up, 3 California kids. Lots of grad students Between grad students and seniors this team will lose 19 players next year. I believe the only Seniors who will be able to return as fifth years are Lindsay and Staudt (in...

Yes big year. Lose Poitras, Higgins, James, Heuston up front as well as a couple key defenders. Pacheco is key here. Can he get above 50% on draws v good teams? Youth needs to come through. Houlihan and Ramon are now juniors. Need guys like Murphy, Haberman, McGorry, Cote and McCullough to take the ...

11 to Rutgers is an embarrassment. Get a coach that can develop the players he recruited from high school. When you can upgrade with established players why wouldn’t you. They improved at the attack, d-middie, defense and faceoff all areas of need and they did it with solid guys. This is the new wo...

I think the vast majority of underclass transfers are those kids that got recruited by a school, got there, saw they weren’t going to play now (or in the near future) and then decided to go to a lesser lax program. Saw it at Loyola last year. 4 star goalie left due to Staudt being a year ahead of hi...

Would love to see the Hounds go after Anthoony Ghobriel from Navy who just entered the transfer portal. Last year as a sophomore he won 60% of his draws. FOGO and wing play cost us a ton of games last year. They’ve added a LSM. Maybe Toomey’s Navy connection gets him another military transfer (Cole...

I am not high on McGorry. The only shot I saw him take his freshman year dribbled in against Navy. He was a reclass but I heard he also did a PG year so playing against kids two years younger in high school made him look better than he was. Not sure how true any of that is but I do like the freshma...
