I thought he was a senior? I don't think he played his freshman year, potentially allowing him a 4th season to play, but thatsmell's post was the first I had heard of this.
If Volante does come back, tbh, polls have us way too low...even without Volante, we have one of the best defenses in the country next year; with him, forget it, we have the best.
A lot of optimism PB about the defense
Wyers, King, LeBlanc, Bonser, Hughes, Railey, Johnson at Defense is stellar. Add Volante, whoa...that is a legit squad of defenders. I can't think of any defense in D1 I would take over this group. We can even afford an injury or two. Now to be sure, we will have a new GK, so we will need every ounce of effort from all of these folks becasue we will likely not get 12-16 saves per game like we were used to with Stover.
Then looking at LSM: Middleton, McNulty, Shires are phenomenal athletes.
I can't think of any D1 team whose defense coming back next year that is better than Loyola's. Happy to be corrected. I just don't see any. We have 7, possibly 8, legitimate D1 starting defenders, and with McNulty, at least one AA 1st teamer LSM.
