I tend to see Maryland and Virginia as the dominant teams or frontrunners going into next season.
With UVa you have the pair of possible Tewaaraton finalists in Matt Moore and Shellenberger leading the way. Then you have another big time player in Cormier. Jeff Connor and Garno filling out the midfield. I was pretty impressed with Schutz this summer, perhaps as the 3rd attackman (could be an upgrade over Laviano), and you also have Xander Dickson. The close D is back as are some of the ssdms. Connors is a big loss at LSM, but Wayer did a nice job as #2 man. Have to replace Rode but they have the top incoming freshman in Nunes. FO look strong with LaSalla, although depth with could be a problem as Braun is the only other FO man on the roster.

If you assume the Donville would have been an AA in 2020 (he was named an IL AA on the shortened season), then UMd has 6 former AAs on the offense: Wisnauskas, Long, DeMaio, Fairman, Khan and Donville  along with Maltz who scored 50pts last season and Malever, who had 20 on the 2nd midfield. Then you still have guys like Brennan, J.Koras, D.Kelly,... The Terps only lose Grill off the starting defense, but pull in a nice transfer in Owen Prybylski to go with talented young guys like the Burlaces and Jack Shirtzer. McNaney is back in goal, and Drew Morris has returned for a 5th year giving the Terps depth. FOs is a weak point for the Terps, Wiermann did a decent job last year and the Terps added Tygh.

For me Duke is a step behind. Losing Sowers was big. I think if you are putting Duke up there, you perhaps have to predict O'Neill moving up to being a Tewaraaton finalist type player.
