The math seems odd to me. Last year there were 53 on the roster. Subtract out the 7 seniors / grad students (assuming none are coming back) and 2 transfers (Aviles & Gonsiorek) and that leaves 44 returning players. Add in 11 freshman and 8 transfers for a total of 19 and that brings the...

The only school I hate more than Duke is Notre Dame (you can throw Penn State in the mix as well). If you grew up in Syracuse I think you can probably relate.

From the IL preview: Graydon Hogg has “raised his play to a new level,” Marr says. He will be the offensive leader. TJ Sheehan is a Denver transfer who Marr recruited in high school. He’s an X-type player who’s skilled and has a high IQ. Freshman Silas Richmond (South Delta, B.C.) is a Canadian...

The guy I talked to from Victor was definite about Hay but wasn't sure on Endres - said he had surgery to repair labrums in both hips. Sounds like that would be a tough things to recover from for a FOGO.

I believe Endres is red shirting this year (labrum) and they lost a couple of other players with preseason ACL tears (including Hay). But they are super deep at attack and I think we'll see one or two of those guys running midfield - the kid from Yorktown who transferred in from Denver...

Not necessarily injury prevention but they are supposed to aide in muscle recovery and prevent soreness. Could be that they were made available to try - could certainly see sticking with them if I were a defender but maybe not so much on attack.

Mike Powell was a great player (and great just isn't a big enough word) - but he's an even better human being. Dude just gets it. In my opinion - the best ever wear Orange.

We sat in Section 203 the last two times Syracuse played and they were great seats for the money. It's not a great place to watch a football game but ut was a fun atmosphere. Also - just drove in and parked in one of the garages - if memory serves they didn't fill up as most people take the...

I believe the NEC members have other conferences affiliations for lacrosse. Hobart and St. Josephs play in the A10, LIU plays in MAAC, Fairfield in the CAA and Merrimac will be playing in the America East. This is not like Football or Basketball where everyone is completing over TV revenue so...

The LeMoyne administration has unrealistic visions of grandeur (athletics and academics). This is just a really bizarre decision. AD (Beretta) was a St. Bonaventure guy so the schools are comparable I guess. I don't think this is great news for the LeMoyne lacrosse team - have to believe this...

https://www.syracuse.com/highschoolsports/2022/06/casey-rogers-follows-football-map-from-westhill-to-big-ten-to-pac-12.html Kid has really transformed his body...

I think this kid has the chance to be a very special player - to me the comparison is Miles Thompson. He's an exceptional finisher with quick hands and great field awareness. Plays fearless. Love the fact that he is a multisport athlete (also love that about Spinella).

The Tewaaraton is lacrosse's version of the Heisman trophy

https://hollisfuneralhome.com/tribute/details/1707/James-Onacki/obituary.html#tribute-start For those of us of a certain era who grew up in and around Camillus and played box at Shove Park, at one time or another we all met Jim Onacki. A fierce competitor when he played and an even better...

You can argue that Harvard, OSU, ND and Duke didn't belong - that being the case then I'll admit my bias and say that I'm glad I got to watch Harvard and OSU get their shot. When Duke and/or ND loses - America wins.

Why would wealthy parents hurt (and not help) Syracuse?

Anyone else get the impression (from his Instagram) that Jovan Miller is taking a great deal of joy in this? I get the distinct impression that he was clearly a Desko guy and is still salty about how things went down last year. I mean it's almost like he's rooting for Gait to fail.

If he's serious about his MBA - wouldn't Michigan of Georgetown make the most sense academically (assuming he transfers out of the ACC)? Or maybe even Ohio State? Michigan - elite MBA program (top 10) / Zawada & Boehm on attack Georgetown - excellent MBA program (top 25) / loaded with talent...

"We need volunteers, not hostages" ~Mike Tomlin

My first thought was Denver as well - Maryland if he's chasing a ring. But he doesn't impress me as the kind of kid who would just chase a ring...I think he just wants to win. I mean the kid plays like every game is his last. Denver doesn't seem to be a team that is one or two players away, I...

Kid was a warrior this year - never quit. Much respect.

No one really head and shoulders above the field - so I would think that Wisnauskas has the edge (best player on the best team). Piatelli, Gray, O'Neill, and Shellenberger all had great years - I'm pulling for the senior Piatelli to make the final three.

Speaking of Scanlan - just Googled him to see what he's been up to. A quick glance at his Instagram and YouTube tells me that the kid is lost. Apparently he's given up on lacrosse and is pursuing a career in music. And I'm not busting on the kid - I really feel bad for him because it's obvious...

Hoping Quinn is able to play as this would be a nice homecoming for him.

“We do the best we can with what we’ve got” is a phrase no head coach should ever utter. There are 28 kids on the roster who were 4/5 star recruits - I get that some won't transition to the college game, but there is enough talent on the roster right now where something like Saturday should...

Stopped by the three way scrimmage between Mt. Sinai, Yorktown and St. Ignatius (Ohio) on Saturday. Couple of things - as for the knee brace, I was told it was some torn cartilage from football / not an ACL injury. Didn't sound too serious and the brace (more of a leg stocking) was just...

Horrible decision. Should take a year off and work on his issues. He hasn't yet taken responsibility for his actions and until he deals with that he will be viewed as toxic - college, PLL or NLL. I'll be shocked if he gets drafted.

Accusing other schools of cheating without any evidence is weak. It's no different than other schools accusing all ACC schools of cheating now because the coaches wife at one of the schools cosigned on a car loan for the current coach's brother 25 years ago. Take care of your own house and...

You are correct - that absolutely happened at Brown 20+ years ago. They were investigated by the NCAA in 2000. I know three guys who coached (one still does) at Ivy League football programs. The only advantage they have is academic preference - the ability to get a kid admitted who otherwise...

That's not accurate. The Ivy's have never given athletic scholarships - they have a blind financial aid process for ALL students. It's all based on financial need and academic merit. It's actually a huge disadvantage because each and every other school (except some Patriot League schools) can...

It's not a coaching problem - it's a parent problem...

That would be a hard pass for me. I mean I wish nothing but the best for the kid, but too much baggage for this program.

Just like Jim Boeheim, I believe John Desko has earned the right to go out on his own terms. Just like Jim Boeheim, I wish it had happened two years ago. Just like Jim Boeheim, John Desko will be the Syracuse coach next year.

Here's what he told the DO: Scanlan changed his initial commitment because of his concerns with the Haudenosaunee Promise Program, which guarantees free tuition for Native Americans who reside on a Nation territory. “I felt because they didn’t have any money invested in me they (wouldn’t)...

Regarding Camden Hay: “I committed to Syracuse my seventh or eighth grade year, which is very crazy,” Camden Hay said. “The rules changed, so you can’t do that now, but then I switched to Albany because my cousin’s the defensive coach and he played here, so I’ve been coming to Albany lacrosse...

Josh Zawada - the kid who's parents paid $63,870/year so he could attend the Hill Academy - flipped to Michigan because they offered him a better scholarship package? The same Josh Zawada who's father owns a medical device company in North Carolina? Yeah, he went to Michigan because it's going...

That's a cop out - name me one recruit has Syracuse lost out on to these other cheaper schools (Rutgers, Albany, Bingo) because of tuition? And yes, Syracuse is over priced...but it is still cheaper than Duke, Yale, Notre Dame and even Georgetown. If a kid can't afford the tuition (and by kid...

Your saying that this was "the last straw for them, not the only straw" for the players implies that they have stood by and tolerated a certain degree of domestic violence from Chase up to that point. That's an irresponsible thing to say (anonymously) and you better have something more than...

This whole post is so ignorant that I don't even know where to start.

My thoughts on the Chase Scanlan situation. Assuming all the stories and innuendos are true, maybe instead of turning their back and abandoning Chase, they might want to consider getting him some help. I'm not saying he should be back on the field - the hard truth is that for all intents and...

Caught most of this game - Ton of cny kids on the field. The Bertrand kid on Merrimack (Baldwinsville) would have started on just about any D1 program. Merrimack going D1 next year so he’s eligible to transfer for his senior year.

From what I'm told about the Hay family, the boys are very close. So I wouldn't read too much into the brothers going all in to support each other, especially after the dads accident.

With the emergence of the PLL, I wonder if a player of his ability elects to stay in school for a 5th year.

What about Alberici or Tambroni? Two guys with ties to the area. Assuming you would have to back the truck up to land a top tier guy and not sure SU would be willing to do that in a non-revenue generating sport.

From what the coaches were saying last year, I'm guessing the Albany game will be away in 2020. Back in 1979 when the dome was being built the football team got creative and scheduled home game in places like Orchard Park, Cornell and the Meadowlands - not a bad idea to showcase your product in...
