A few edits I would make

- Collignon over Black for 3rd team Attack

Fully agree way too many HM.

Taking off my Hound glasses....I would agree.

Yes, lots of offense return and came in, but the Irish haven't solved their fundamental problem last season -- Goalie and defense. Can't see them beating a top 10 team without big improvements there.

Me neither

yep. no truer evaluation than that.

you're right they hit on a couple players in the 2017-2018 classes. Bur Relax77 is also right. i had Loyola as a loser in 2025 recruiting. For all the progress they've made on the field, they havn't translated it to recruiting compared to programs like Dartmouth, Denver, JMU, Hopkins, etc. They hav...

Loyola has proven in the past that they have been able to get talent. So the fact that they've struggled with that a bit recently points to bigger issues than just the school being in a shady area of town.

Care to share?

Kind of my point. First off, assume you mean East of Charles as the Campus is west of Charles. And you can go plenty East of Charles before you end up in a bad area. Why would anyone be wandering around that part of town anyway? There are also people that won't go to O's or Ravens games because Bal...

I found this topic languishing on page 14. Time to dust it off now that Relax77 wants to make the season a bit more interesting. Lay it on me, brother--what precisely are the particulars of the wager? Love reading the predictions about the upcoming season. Don't need to make crazy picks just for cl...

yeah...that is a head scratcher

👍 probably not yet. But would be great if it happens. Well not for buddy. I didn’t love Loyolas current recruiting class. I’m thinking a shift may be coming. I know zippo about the last 2 years recruiting class, so you may be right....just guessing that JA knows what she is doing and finds a few ge...

Love reading the predictions about the upcoming season. Don't need to make crazy picks just for click bait, like Loyola not winning the Patriot League. Loyola has a top 4 coaching staff that recruits great fits for their system. Did you watch any of their games against the Patriot League teams, it'...

Hell I’ll take it. 10$ to your 100$. Good odds. Loyola obviously is the favorite, but Loyola is not going to be as good as previous years. I also think Florida struggles. That game is a toss up this year. Think Hopkins and possibly Penn State beat them. I can see them losing 4-5 this year and I don...

A couple of predictions I just can't see: Loyola not winning the Patriot. Loyola may fit into the category of Not Ready For Prime Time Players as to seriously challenging for a national championship--but they're more than capable and strong enough to continue winning the Patriot--both regular seaso...

NW MD Hop Michigan PSU Rutgers OSU I would argue that from year to year, all 7 of those teams are better than Va Tech I would argue that 4 or 5 of those schools are better than Tech in the last 10 years. Rutgers, OSU and PSU have had seasons that weren't so good. Would be nice to have an ACC/BIG we...

Have you profiled York? Curious what your analytics show...yes I have an interest :P I have. I did a an offensive deep-dive and a defensive deep-dive . Will be curious to hear what you think... And if you have any individual players you think deserve a write-up, let me know! Thanks, those were a go...

For some parents in this sport, that $$ cost is not an issue.

For a program with the reputation Loyola has, I’m surprised they don’t try to schedule more top 15 teams. Maybe they do and nobody will play them . There is some truth to this.... you have to factor in that most of these smaller private and public colleges don't have the budget to do long trips (ai...
