NJ fan here. Helmer isl. Cuse selecting from Jersey top shelfTOP 20 INCOMING CLASSES
8. Syracuse
Though the Orange bring in seven Top 100 prospects, it’s hard to say what kind of impact they’ll make due to shear roster size. Nick Mellen, Andrew Helmer and Tyson Bomberry are attractive defensive recruits, all differing in what they bring to the table. Texas product Sam Romano looks the part of an ACC midfielder, while Bradley Voigt and Nathan Solomon are accomplished scorers at attack. As always, look for ‘Cuse to make waves with a mid-year transfer or two.
Seen plenty of Helmer, he is very good. Cuse making wise NJ choicesTOP 30 DEFENSEMEN + WATCHLIST
7. Nick Mellen / Syracuse / West Genesee (N.Y.)
Also playing football and hockey, Mellen is as tough as nails and possesses tremendous foot speed and takeaway checks, thriving at both close D and LSM for the Wildcats. As a senior, he posted 17 points with 47 GB’s, helping them to an 18-2 mark in his final season. Since the Orange bring in a great defensive class, it’s hard to say how soon Mellen will play as a freshman, but there’s no doubt that the local product will impress the coaching staff.
10. Andrew Helmer / Syracuse / Summit (N.J.)
A significant reason why the Hilltoppers’ zone defense surrendered an average of less than 3.5 goals per game over the last two seasons, Helmer has a terrific approach, quick feet and is an asset in the clearing game. Also a football standout, he was twice an All-State pick on the lacrosse field while helping Summit to a pair of Group 2 titles. Projects well at the next level and is expected to turn heads at ‘Cuse.

I'm also hearing that Hutch and Orazietti are the surprise of the recruiting class...I call them undrafted free agents
If you are not starting or getting significant playing time you should redshirt if you're a freshman... Why waste a year to play the last few minutes of a blowout
Not surprised Michigan is starting to make some inroads in the recruiting scene.Certainly have the resources and brand name to become a major player in Division 1 lacrosse. Expect them to be regular in the NCAA tournament soon.
