Yes, ND has Ricciardelli who was the #1 goalie recruit, and #4 overall in the '22 class (McCool was #2 and #20 overall).  Might be in the same boat as SU - have someone waiting in the wings, but would you rather take a "sure thing"? Both teams should be in the thick of things next year, it's a lot of pressure to put on a goalie getting their first real game action. I'm sure both coaching staffs have a decent idea if their current guy is up for it at this point.

Hopkins doesn't have a goalie on the roster with the pedigree of what Syracuse and Notre Dame have, they have one goalie coming in next year who is a four star, but not ranked in IL's power rankings.  It feels like they will be on the look out for a transfer for sure (Conor Theriualt from Brown is also in the portal).

Gianforcaro played high school ball at Culver and SU has turned themselves into a "Culver Finishing School", with Alex Simmons, Jake Stevens and Sam English.  Pat March has connections to Princeton and Culver, but Gianforcaro wouldn't have overlapped with March at Princeton. Not sure what his connections to Petro might be, but I'm sure all the big schools were after him as a high schooler, he was an Under Armor All American.

I wouldn't love him joining a conference rival, but at this point UNC seems least positioned to challenge for a title next year, of all the obvious choices.
