How many more from Cuse make this list? Joey?Dwan?Rhoa?Figueiras?Thomson?
Spallina for sure, I am guessing he comes in at #3. I am pretty confidant about Dwan making it, especially given his goal contributions. Figuerias I am not sure about, he played well down the stretch last year, but so much of this is "hype", and he is a player that doesn't draw a lot of attention.
Curious about Thomson, he outscored both Leo and English, not by much, but you would think he should also be rated. English does so many things all over the field, I would think he would be rated above Thomson, which makes me think the rising junior isn't on the list.
I would definitely consider Carter Rice, but again to be recognized as a SSDM, you really have to stand out with an epic stat line.
These are the returning players who aren't ranked yet, but were IL All Americans last year. I think there are 30 that I counted. Granted, English wasn't an AA last year and he is top 40, so it's not a like for like carryover:

I am 100% I am missing someone super obvious. No Terps listed, which seems odd, but outside of maybe Erksa or McNaney, I'm not sure who you would list.
