2026 Recruiting

[Cuse4455]

now of course right as i say this im hearing that ted rawson has decommitted from ohio state and cuse is one of the schools he is considering

I mean he's Canadian sooo.... lol

 

[jr4750]

never say never but it's going to be hard to pry any of these lawrenceville kids away from the ivies or big ten (hop and umich). those kids value high-end academics...

When I hear high end academics, I think the Harvard of CNY. Blasphemy to say otherwise

Tyler Byrnes - National Lacrosse Federation

nlfrankings.com

Does this kid have major D-1 ability? Looked stiff in the highlight video but it's dumb saying that about a 6'4" freshman (illustrative of how stupid early recruiting is). He was mentioned on a Inside Lacrosse podcast. Legacy. I am sure many of you know more about the player and his father than me

Looks like Inside Lacrosse thinks highly of him. Son of SU alum Tim Byrnes I presume (great player), who coaches for Team 91. Looks like a player SU should definitely be targeting!

2026s​

Tyler Byrnes, A/M, Massapequa (N.Y.), Team 91 Storm
Evaluation Score: 87
A smart lefty who hustles consistently. This may seem like a bizarre point to fixate on at a recruiting event, but I really liked the way he stepped into the sub box (when he wasn’t going to be the guy subbing off) to allow a teammate to enter the field at the other end of the box and double team an opposing clearing midfielder. Offensively, his versatility stands out most; he doesn’t need to run the show, start or finish possessions. He provides value as a passer, shooter or a dodger. He’s really tall and uses his frame well.

Rawson would be a great add. Canadian with jets. Hope it happens

Not from New York, but one of the only Canadian players featured -

I noticed that there were a few 2026 (sophomores) on the first team All-section V team:
Tano Auriuso, A, Aquinus 89g-39a
Braden Fingar, M, Penn Yan 37g-17a
Cooper Moore A, Irondequoit 59g-18a

Irondequoit kids never go to Cuse. Don’t know why.

Per Inside Lacrosse, Brozek is a lefty from Toronto.

Irondequoit kids never go to Cuse. Don’t know why.

One reason would probably be that Irondequoit doesn't produce that many players at the level to play at Syracuse.

 

[Powellfan]

Peck will certainly be climbing up the rankings lists, I'm sure.

In my mind I always associate Irondequoit with College Park!

 

[JeremyCuse]

Peck will certainly be climbing up the rankings lists, I'm sure.

Hearing there is mutual interest with Peck and SU but much like Drago and Raio last year will be fierce competition.

Chris Doshna and Nick Rayfield from Marcellus, previously discussed on here, were named All CNY Small School boys team as sophomores. Their coach, Colin Donahue (SU alum) was named Coach of the year.

Another sophomore, Landen Brunelle, from Skaneateles was also named to the team. He wears #22. Just saying. Perhaps future Orange?

Andrew Whipple and Joe Walters would’ve been ok. There have been others.

Andrew Whipple and Joe Walters would’ve been ok. There have been others.

Whipple, finishing up in 1998, and Walters, finishing up in 2006, were a ways back.
Of course, the Terps recently got a nice contribution from Jack Brennan, and have Jonah Carrier arriving this fall

Also Greg Coholan was named HM AA and scored 53 points in 2015 at UVa. Nick Doktor had 57 points for Penn in 2015.

So UMd does not totally dominate Irondequoit recruits.

Further, we can see that Gait has put his big foot in Section V with Cam Ryan and Drew Angelo this year, and Braydon Pike next year.

I’m aware of all those kids. And there are plenty more going all the way back to Jeff Long who could play at that level. There were others who were good enough to play at Cuse but couldn’t afford the tuition. It’s just odd. You’d think one would’ve made his way there. We all grew/grow up as Cuse fans.

Doshna and Rayfield both mentioned in this rundown. Both sound like very good offensive players who can score in a variety of ways. Rayfield on the smaller side at 5'10 155, but gets praised for his defense by Xanders. Doshna a little bigger at 6'0 185. I have to imagine both players are high on SU's priority list. Also mentioned is Adam Ponting, a Canadian (Ontario) from Lawrenceville. He's got really good size at 6'3 180.

West Genny player with a shoutout from Foy. He had 22 goals and three assists last year for the Wildcats, and 25 and 5 as a freshman.
