I think the Spallina class gives SU fans an inflated sense of our standing with respect to peer programs.  The reality is that Maryland and Duke have stacked top recruiting classes year after year (including portal additions), and even Harvard has several bona fide blue chippers.  Cornell is buoyed by having the last of the 5-6 year players.  In short, there is a ton of parity out there and match ups, injuries, and sharpness (a few missed ground balls, bobbled passes, halfhearted slides, missed gimmies, etc.) will play huge roles for all teams with respect to how things play out.   The concept that we should be better because of Spallina, Dwan, Fig, Leo, etc., is understandable, though misguided IMO.

I agree that at times this team is too slick for its own good, Gait is too slow to call timeouts when the field tilts, and we lack a real agent of chaos out there who can just make things happen or put other teams on their back heels (either defensively or offensively).
