Sorry but I have to disagree. You can't talk about the transfer market and include guys who were granted a 5th year ala Sowers and not mention SU's own 5th year guys who chose to return to school.  I am aware that Aiken wants to try this one school in the fall and one in the spring but count me as skeptical until I actually see it, there's a ton of moving parts there not to mention the NCAA itself.

Also I am not discounting the loss of Fernandez at all, he was a real nice player and someone I would have wanted back 100%. That said Fernandez being as you noted "by far" the best ACC player is more about the lack of players from the ACC in the portal then anything else. Fernandez was a co-starter at LSM and a nice player but were not talking about losing an elite level un-replaceable player here.

As I noted clearly Duke was the winner grabbing multiple higher end offensive guys including Sowers clearly the top D1 player. That said UVA and UNC each added 1 player and for UNC the addition doesn't even really mesh with a team need, not sure id place them over SU. Bertrand is a good player but no where close to the level of losing Kraus. ND did a nice job but haven't landed anyone to replace Costabile, although clearly Gallagher is an excellent player.  The rest of the ACC made some good moves but you have to look at the overall landscape and what SU brings back as well.  Dearth Trimboli Varello returning already makes it a net positive for SU
