Message: [QUOTE="Powellfan, post: 5320783, member: 4819"] I think IL is ranking LSMs separate from the "defense". I agree that Princeton shouldn't be listed as a top 5 defense in the country. It doesn't look like Maryland will be ranked in any of the positional groupings. Has a team ever been a consensus top 6 team and not had a positional group considered "Top 5" in the country? No way to know that obviously, but like the Top 50 players IL put out, it's pretty strange. Perhaps they are number 6 in every category. I do think SU should be getting more love here, hard to find a better tandem of close defenders than Dwan and Figuerias, and I think whoever fills the third spot will be pretty decent. And if they want to give Notre Dame credit for their goalie being inexperienced but having a five star ranking, than SU should get the same benefit of the doubt. [/QUOTE]
