I think these portal additions really bode well for the direction of the program. Given that the Orange have struggled the last two years, it's pretty impressive that they've been able to convince kids in pretty high demand to play for them.

The portal doesn't seem to be teeming with talent like it has the past few years, but if you were to do a "Top Portal Class" like IL did last year, you'd have to think that SU is probably in the top three at this point.  That's just taking into account incomings, if you factored in the loss of Dordvic that obviously hurts.  Georgetown is the pretty obvious winners of the portal right now but SU is right behind them, probably competing with Notre Dame (Conlin, Tevlin, Fake, Simmons).  To pair that with the top recruiting class really raises expectations for the upcoming season.

Of course it must be said that they are welcoming in a very big group of newcomers next year. 15 freshmen and as of now five transfers (hopefully at least a couple more in the form of FOGOs).  That's 20 new players which is A LOT. How they coaches mesh them in with the rest of the team will be really important.
