Duke already has the 7 player on this list, the FOGO O'Connell coming in as well with Sowers. Wonder how many players they will allow themselves to bring in. There is also a high level goalie in Adler available and they have a hole at that position. At some point though you have think they can only take in so many new players? Maybe not.
I am curious if a few teams take on a lot of transfers, or if they will be more spread out. A team like Hopkins has a lot of holes, so maybe they load up? Keep Morrill and Cotler together? Would be pretty ironic I guess for Hopkins to benefit from all this, seeing as they played a clearly banged up Epstein and didn't lose any eligibility from that.
Interesting to read that most teams are trying to get Holden to play midfield. I really like Bertrand but SU will have two left handers expecting to play at attack next year in Hiltz and Rhefuss. If your Desko how strong can your pitch be with so many returners on offense? "Please come to Syracuse, but you'll have to beat out established guys to get on the field in your one and only year here." Maybe the prospect of playing on Final Four weekend is enough.
I don't mean to complain about this, but its kind of interesting to see so many players that, in any other year SU would probably have a good chance of landing, Holden is familiar with the area, as was Griffin Brown, Sundown has the Native connection and Bertrand is a local kid. Seems frustrating to let those connections go to waste.
Not a lot of defenseman on the list and I am pretty sure Gallagher stated he would go back to Penn if they allowed 5th years to come back. Like IT stated that would change if the Cornell guys became available as Salvatore would be a big pickup.
If you had space for only one transfer in your Syracuse lacrosse budget, would you take a defensive player like Salvatore or an offensive player like Teat?
