If Figueiras is actually #3, and Petro is #9, then there is some very promising footage here!

This is so exciting. Reinforcements are coming in from all sides. A straight up ambush to every team who thinks they have a one up on us nowadays. *Cough cough* Maryland *sneeze* Duke *burrrrrrrppppp* Rutgers

Figueiras has had 3 great performances against #2 (UNC) and #4 (Duke) ranked ‘22s and #16 (Princeton) ranked ‘23. Don’t believe any have scored in a settled situation. Still has highly ranked attackman to face but he is off to a great start. Petro pulled a great player from Rutgers.

Petro got this kid to flip? Probably still to early to tell for sure, but based on what I'm reading seems like there's a strong possibilty he could start next year?

My understanding is Figueiras was one of Petros first calls when he was hired and his first commit.

Big Tasty not a Syracuse commit but talks some about Figueiras and his leadership of the St. John’s defense during interview.

 

[DMVCuseLax]

Number 1 vs Number 2 according to IL play Friday. Figueiras #3, Rhoa #1 and Trujillo #5 on SJC.

Riley Figueiras ’22, defense, St. John’s / Syracuse – NLF No. 51 ’22 ​

Figueiras should start bringing his homework and a snack with him on the field. He still hasn’t given up a goal in coverage this year, and going after him is a waste of everybody’s time. He could have played without a stick and still gotten the job done because he was so darn good at matching feet, denying space and understanding what offensive players wanted to do. Figueiras had a couple of excellent sequences, one of which was an early caused turnover and ground ball, and he had another pretty play where he knocked a ground ball in traffic to Fyock to gain possession. Syracuse was smart to pursue him even when he was committed to Rutgers, and the Orange now get one of the best defensemen in the country.

Will have a good matchup in a couple weeks against St. Anthony’s. Either Leo or Duffy.

Would be shocked if he isn't starting from day 1 next fall.

I can see it. Footwork is very good. Add a few pounds and he will be ready.
