Spot on - it's really hard to determine who the top names in the portal are right now. Tehoka obviously, but remains to be seen if a team will take a chance on him. Jason Knox and Drew Blanchard the FOGO stick out to me, as well as Owen Murphy and Evan Zinn from Hopkins, and Gavin Tygh from UVA, but none of those names register like the top players from last year.  Gait mentioned goalie and there seem to be some interesting options in Dolan from Binghamton, Dobson from St. Bonnies and Brandau from Maryland. Peter Rizzoti from Dartmouth seems like an interesting prospect, had two goals, 35 groundballs and 27 caused turnovers his freshman year in 2019.

'Cuse could certainly benefit from Blanchard at the face-off, but have to imagine Maryland is going to go after a FOGO pretty aggressively. Tehoka would certainly field a need but I can't imagine the new coaching staff taking a chance on him.  I still wonder about Murphy but have written about him enough for now.  Zinn could be an intriguing prospect if he sticks at SSDM.  Knox being a lefty attackman probably means he doesn't align with what Syracuse needs. Not sure what the plan is for goalie, but Dolan does intrigue me.  Rizotti sounds like he could benefit the team and allow Kennedy to move to close, but on paper he doesn't have the typical links to SU (from Lincoln-Sudbury in Mass).

There very likely could be more players in the portal, or players not in the portal but looking to make a move - Donville was never reported as being in the portal to my knowledge, and neither were any of the Notre Dame transfers.
