Agree that all should share in the good and bad. Coaches can be critiqued for lack of game adjustments amid collapses but  also right  to  be given share of credit for strong performances including several comebacks wins.

Syracuse was already a contender in 2019 because they have several very good talents especially at midfield . Desko invested in a transition and progress seen . Core talent has numerous juniors and team capable of advancing to FF in each of the next two years.

Dordevic (15-5) is an athletic talent similar to Montgomery of Duke, both influence and factor but neither is yet a top tier producer so not going to overstate his  return as it places unfair expectations on a youngster returning from a lost year of development. With him , Cuse perhaps wins one of those one goal losses to UVA or UNC that delivers a home playoff game but then recall that Buttermore scored six of his 20 goals in those two games. Team success is not contingent on any one player but collective effort . Dami's return will  be a plus.

Desko as GM in offseason has three critical holes to fill . Two good attackman and cd Bomberry who had a strong season after opener. Avoid preordaining , consider all options and shift personnel if needed to optimize.
