Absolutely! I say that Syracuse returns to the NCAA Tournament and very possibly makes the Final Four this season.

And, folks, Gary Gait is going to do an AWESOME job as the women's coach at Syracuse! I say that, they will be regulars in the NCAA Tournament and challenge for the crown with him. Trust me that great women players will go to Syracuse to play for him. The dude can flat-out coach! He was the top assistant to Cindy Timchal at Maryland during the Terps seven year run as champs. And, it was said that, with his coaching brilliance, he played a bigger part than Timchal did in the succuess of the Terps. Hey, after he left, Maryland never even got to the title game again.


Now, back to Syracuse Men's Lacrosse. John Desko is still one of the best coaches ever in the game. However, the reason Syracuse hasn't been doing quite as well recently is because they haven't been getting the ballplayers they used to. Part of the reason is that so many of the players love to go South. However, another part of the reason is that Desko, IMHO, is not the recruiter Simmons was. Desko needs to get an assistant who is a brilliant recruiter for 'Cuse to be a regular in the Final Four again!
