Message: [QUOTE="JeremyCuse, post: 5070980, member: 43"] English definitely has another year, unclear if he will use it but the initial rumblings were that he was leaning toward using it. UNC brings back a lot (though even they do lose McGovern and a few others Breschi, Kreig Geppert) but they and Cuse are the two who really bring back a lot. Virginia loses less numbers then last years but the quality is a massive hit. Shellenberger, Cormier and Kastner are all gone plus the SSDM transfer Yager, back up fogo Desouza etc. Again no massive numbers but essentially their top overall 3 players are gone including their clear 1 and 2 Offensive options and their best defender. I've done a breakdown of Duke and ND before but they both lose a metric ton to graduation. Duke loses their entire starting attack line, Naso, Brower, Danenza, Both LSM's in carpenter and Frisoli, Caputo and O'Connor short stick defenders, Krauss another pole, every back up goalie on the roster I think and and another 8 to 10 guys who barely played. Duke loses 4 of their top 5 scorers, the top FOGO, their best defender, both LSM's and two of their SSDM rotation. Cupboard is far from bare their obviously but that's a boatload. ND is in a similar spot. First off to the relief of everyone Pat Kavanaugh and Taylor are both gone. Taylor I think technically has another year if he petitions for it but I think the expectation is that he is gone. Entenmann, Gray, Conlin, McLane, Burlace, Dobson, Burgmaster, Parlette, Harris, amongst others. Assumign Taylor is gone, ND loses 4 of their top 6 scorers, their goalie, multiple SSDMs including at least one starter and I believe 2 of their 3 starting poles. Again cupboard from from bare but like Duke, thats a ton to just simply replace without skipping a beat. [/QUOTE]
