In limited time last season I was impressed with Seebold's dodging ability particularly from the goal line extended. The only thing he didn't do was finish hence the donuts on the stats sheet.I thought it was interesting that when Desko was asked about the attack he spoke about Owen Seebold before Griffin Cook. Wonder if that means Seebold really impressed the coaches in the fall, or if Desko is just trying to temper expectations for Cook as a freshman. Or if it means absolutely nothing. He did make special note of Cook's ability to play the left and right sides.
I think Desko wants 22 to be elite again. I loved Jo Jo but he was borderline Elite. Jammer won us a Natty, but he was not even close to elite as a field player. And we all know how the last 22 faired. Until a guy hits 70 points at attack in a season or 50 at middy, leave it on the shelf. Give it to them the year after. 22 should be only for first team all Americans. IMO it’s not for the heart and soul guy who doesn’t score it’s for the guy who puts the pebble behind the goalie.
Side Note: I love Porter I think he should have started last year.
Jamison "not even close" to elite as a field player? Strongly disagree with that statement dude. Marasco was also full on in the elite category with no borderline. Marasco lead the team in points on years when we were stacked with talent. Jamison in his one full year was second in points, again on a stacked team. If he had more time on the team I guarantee he would be in peoples top 10 all time lists. He is an insane talent and it's not just limited to the box game, where he is literally one of the best players. Both were more than deserving of 22. If they were on the team now they would be our best offensive players by far.

I think you maybe confusion Marasco's Sr year with his overall career here. He was pretty underwhelming as a top recruit/player until his Senior year when he busted out with an outstanding Senior Year. He led the team that year in pts for sure and I would think probably goals to but that was only his Sr year.
Lead the team in points as a sophomore as well (tied with Keough). Junior season he struggled with injuries/it was a bad year for the team in general with the 2011 class graduating. Most definitely an elite player. But I don't want to get into it anymore and derail the thread.
How can one call oneself a reporter and never ask about all the elephants in the room? For example, please describe in detail your approach to recruiting. What system? Did the loss of four or five attack men within two month period effect your approach? If so, how? Parity? SU plays the same teams every year. Why moan about parity.? Don't get me started.Personally would like someone to ask Desko about the recruiting losses that occurred recently, guessing that won't happen though.
Understand the criticism about lacrosse media, but compared to other schools, I think SU has it pretty good. They cover media day pretty closely.
The team is streaming clips from Media Day on instagram, but I think you need an account to view them.
Think the less is said about 22 the better. When the time is right they'll give it to someone. Is it the end of the program that someone hasn't earned it? No. Let's move on.
Cody Jamison scored 42 points at attack... you can’t possibly call that elite. In 2017 Jordan Evans scored 44. Your essentially saying Jordan Evans is also elite if you call a 42 point season elite. I want to make this very clear Cody Jamieson is an elite lacrosse player indoor, outdoor he is elite. However he was absolutely not elite for Syracuse. He scored less than half the points of Kevin rice who never got the chance to wear 22. Jo Jo was tremendous his senior year and I could agree he was elite that one year. But my criteria is first team all American. He obtained that once so he deserved to wear it his senior year only. I agree with Jeremycuse 100% elite puts you in a different category. A legendary category. You said if jammer was there longer he would have been top 10... that’s premise isn’t necessary because he had a full senior year and put up 42 points. The proof is in the stats he didn’t deserve the 22. Jo jo did his senior year. All that said love your posts, we do disagree on this one but we both love Cuse and that’s all that matter right ha ha.Jamison "not even close" to elite as a field player?
