Lacrosse Bucket includes SU in their list of top Defensive Units.  The rest of the list is Army, Providence, Georgetown and Ohio State. SU has a leader in Kennedy, one of the best goalies in Porter and probably the best short stick unit in the country led by Dearth.

Some questions remain, they need to replace Fernandez at pole and they had some shaky performances against Colgate and Hobart last year.  They do bring in a number of transfers, the biggest is probably Mitch Wykoff. Still not sure where he lines up - the only opening is at LSM, but I beleive that he played close defense at Gettsyburg (though he did line up on the wing for face-offs).  I think Clary and Page could also be good under the radar players who might surprise a lot of people this season.

Lots of options and a lot of guys can play multiple positions (Kennedy can play LSM, Murphy can play short stick, Clary and Page both played some close and LSM).  It also sounds like they have some good incoming freshmen with Drago, Frankie Hapney and Kol, though I'd be surprised if they saw time this year. Will be curious to see how much experimenting the coaching staff does with this unit.
