<p>I see that there is a relatively new coach.</p>
<p>How are the spirits of the team, campus support, quality of players, etc.?</p>
<p>A friendly guy I know in my grade is contemplating applying to Kenyon because the lacrosse team coach is "really cool and nice guy", but what's disconcerting is that the coach is pushing him to apply early if he wants to play lacrosse.</p>
<p>applying early is normal in the sports recruiting world. the coach can lock down the team & use his/her "tips" & admissions influence more selectively than at RD. Plus the applicants can get a sense from the coach whether the coach will use admissions influence.</p>
<p>I see. Well, I hope he makes the right choice. He and I are always teasing each other for being "competition" in applying to Kenyon. Haha.</p>
