That's a lot of mind changing! Three commitments and then entering the portal after one year.  Looks like he didn't want to be the backup for the Sea Wolves (they return Robbie Smith who went 60%). The other backup who had more draws entered the portal and committed to Providence. Those are good high school numbers. I guess the big question is if he didn't want to play second fiddle at Stony Brook, is he okay being that at Syracuse?

The other player to enter was Trent Grainger from Richmond. He's a senior but was previously at St Bonaventure and as a freshman he had a pretty good year - 53% on 244 draws. That was all the way back in 2022 though. Not sure what happened at Richmond, he only played in one game this past year, not sure if it was injury related. Not a very hard schedule at St. Bonnies, at not much recent playing time, but still has experience.

Not much to choose from right now in the portal, but I think I'm more preferential to someone like Chase Mullens who has experience at a big time school (Penn State). The numbers weren't great last year, and he'd probably get the same amount of playing time, but he has shown the ability to be over 50% for a Big 10 team. If John Mullen gets hurt I'd be more comfortable with someone like that instead of a player from a lower school who put up good numbers. I feel like Richiusa was that player - he was 50% at Canisius, but never could get close to that number at SU. But yeah, SU has to grab SOMEONE at some point, right?
