Final list. Obviously surprised Spallina comes in at #6, but whatever. Syracuse is second with five players on the list. Notre Dame is first with eight. Again, odd that no Maryland player made it, but they are due to be a top five team according to the experts.  Teams like Army, UNC, Penn, and Yale, none who made the tournament last year, had at least three players listed (and Penn had two in the top 10).

10. Brandon Lavelle - Penn
9. Mikey Weisshaar - Towson
8. Andrew McAdory - Duke
7. Sam King - Harvard
[B]6. Joey Spallina - Syracuse: [/B]All eyes are on Spallina and Syracuse. He got the Orange back to the NCAA Tournament. Now they return as much as anyone nationally, are one of the favorites in preseason, and (already high) expectations have raised. With 156 points to his name, what’s left is a career-defining game in the NCAA Tournament that leads to a big run.
5. Coulter Mackesy - Princeton
4. Emmet Carroll - Penn
3. Shawn Lyght - Notre Dame
2. Chris Kavanagh - Notre Dame
1. CJ Kirst - Cornell

The snubs appear to be Pat Hackler, Hunter Drouin, Aidan McGuire, Chad Palumbo and Anderson Moore (outside of the 'Cuse guys of course). They must have done the list before news of Devon McLane coming back was public. Nothing egregious I would say.
