    You get another year, and you get another year, you all get another

    Will always wonder what 2020 would have been. Pandemic has altered the lax environment.. Gonna be departures and transfers , some programs are going to take advantage. Shame.

    LAX Action for Mar 6-10

    Mellen / Dearth Injury Updates

    Mellen was doing spring jumps on sidelines so surprised he's not a go. Would miss Dearth's size vs JHU but id be cautious with him based on what's been noticed. Helmer and Barlow could see greater minutes this game.

    Hobart Game...

    Army Game...

    Lets be real. Game plan was gone over pre game to exploit d of a particular opponent. Nothing more Kids have egos. I wouldnt expect or even want him to be happy being a decoy but also wouldnt expect him to complain as larger sacrifices for team have been made by some keys. Wearing #22...

    Army Game...

    O needs not to help goalie n their d with low percentage shots. Have done that in last two games before settling. Cuse faster team but transitioning has to show better on both ends. Advantage at faceoff, make it count. Talent on cuse d but inexperienced w 3 new starters on backline, frosh dm...

    LAX Action for Feb 14-18

    Two games a week each week especially when traveling would take away from normal studies and shift balance and focus between academics and atheletics. Likey be more wear and tear advantageous to deeper teams. Rather have kids wearing sweats and refining programming of master schedules to better...

    Polls (2/17/20): Media #5 / Coaches #5

    Mellen / Dearth Injury Updates

    Bomberry and Fusco were lead communicators last few years. Not sure if Mellen was this year but important. Close gets bigger and more physical with Murphy. Mellen usually held his cover in check relative to their averages but he also wasnt pitching shutouts. Team defense is what matters...

    Hofstra / Vermont and Yale Scrimmages

    Hearing many more positives than negatives. Issue early was Cuse had too many turnovers that led to several broken plays that Yale scored on and our transition D was just so so but close defenders is settled D actually won their individual matchups agaisnt their attack which is amongst the...

    LAX Action for Feb 1-4

    Nauseates to hear about any injuries. Pray that Cuse and all our opponents stay as healthy as can be and wish the speediest and fullest recoveries to all .Just amateurs and more to college than lax but it absolutely sucks and depresses to be deprived of something they love to do. Keep your...

    Hofstra / Vermont and Yale Scrimmages

    Lookback Yale was up 17-6 after 3q before starters subbed by both. Our experienced close was overeacting to their motion n Gaudet n Rooney were getting easy shots in close off feeds by Morrill. Their attack has Bradau who emeged as star in Ncaas. With Gaudet n Morrill, their attack is amongst...

    2020 Face-Off Yearbook: Preseason Men's DI Media All-Americans

    Just preseason clickbait but gotta comment. Mellen is as close to a shut down close defender as any with great feet. He makes All Decade here for a reason Best get scored on occasionally but you never see separation.agaisnt him unless picked off. Mellen should have been unaminous 1st team .AA...

    Hofstra / Vermont and Yale Scrimmages

    Thanks for resubmitting. Gonna assume Curry and Dordevic get poled .Whoever gets a short stick has the talent to flourish and make defenses pay, whether it be Cook, Trimboli, Refhuss or any other . That is what makes this offense difficult to defend. Some young mids hit scoreboard, their time...

    Hofstra / Vermont and Yale Scrimmages

    JHU away will be a tough game. It's JHU after all. Leaving Baltimore with win and life be rewarding. Optimistic but no road game will be a breeze. Albany has talents and will be sky high playing to a sellout of crazed fans Rutgers O has torched us last two years, that annoying train horn...

    Hofstra / Vermont and Yale Scrimmages

    Positive showing by Cuse thru 3q especially for D if possessions were somewhat balanced. Hofstra came in yesterday and offers a fair early test , no slouch despite mediocre record last year - they competed very well agaisnt some good teams , beat Lehigh , loss by 1 to Nova, Towson and...

    Dordevic...

    Was going do projections but number of games affects players numbers Syracuse does not schedule as many games as many others for whatever reason. Cuse played only with 14 last year and only 12 regular season games are scheduled for 2020. Playing 17 games would be magical but 18 would be...

    Dordevic...

    Agree. Trimboli and Buttermore if timely passes swung to them off slides. Scanlan numbers likely fall some but his attention benefits Cook . Refhuss has good vision and plenty of targets. 20/30 doable. Might face more zones. Quinn got routside rocket as does Kim.

    2020 Schedule

    Syracuse Team of the Decade

    Hard to compare decades without putting discussion into context. Sport use to be top heavy with a few teams such as Cuse hoarding the best of a lesser pool of talent.. Would imagine that those all decade cuse teams would also have dominated the AA list at the time. Many more talents today...

    Class of 2019 JJ Levandowski (MA / IMG) Mid

    Four now. Derby, Wood, Ulmer and now L Actually four. Derby, Wood, Ulmer and now Levandowski. First three would never have seen the field here so those departures inconsequential to future but the latter had talent and likely would have played some in 21' season before playing large role...

    Class of 2021 #1 Recruit Andrew McAdory to Duke

    Based on IL hs player rankings, CFNN is now projecting that Duke will easily sweep to the national championship in 2024. Top talent establishes favorites but pool has expanded . Krzyzewski had three top ten picks in NBA draft and didn't even get to FF with them.

    2019 Fall Ball ...

    You will know who the alphas are when the regular season starts agaisnt top starters of other teams not an intrasquad game when some are purposely not going full tilt. Scanlan's game fits this squad well. I commend him for not forcing and playing team ball.

    2019 Fall Ball ...

    Cuse appears to have only three healthy close defenseman for scrimmage. Given that a intrasquad scrimmage needs six, expect some lsms to play close or maybe even a recent alumn defender asked to play. Doubt Staats plays today., JKennedy, Hull n Lee should be back by start of January
