I was just talking about the winners and losers of the transfer market only. It was not a holistic assessment of everything you must take into account before ranking teams ahead of 2021. For instance, any discussion of graduating seniors (Mellen, Costabile, Kraus, etc.) should also factor in incoming recruiting classes. For what it's worth, it looks like Aitken is going back to UVA under that strange rule which allows him to play football at Villanova in the fall but still return to Charlottesville in the spring to play lacrosse. I think that's insane but it is what it is.

Syracuse lost by far the best ACC player in the portal (Fernandez) and while they added some theoretically intriguing names, none are at the level of a Sowers, McCarthy, Bertrand, Gallagher, Yorke, etc. I think you really have to put on the rose-colored glasses to think anything other than that the offseason transfer market has been a net negative for the Cuse relative to their ACC peers.
