Agree with this. One would think Billy Dwan could be this player as he's a five star recruit. But I have read that he's an exceptional #2 guy, very smart and knows when to slide (music to my ears after years of bad slides), and he's got exceptional size. I would be surprised if he's not starting as a freshman, but I think you are right, they still probably need a shut down alpha. I think Riley Figueiras has been the number one cover guy for the Annapolis Hawks, the club team Dwan is on. I was really impressed with Chuck Kuczynski's highlight tape, he seems like a very aggressive defender.

The defense should be very interesting in '23. They could have to replace three of the top four spots (including LSM) if Murphy, Kennedy and DiPietro are presumed starters.  They obviously bring in a lot of freshman that year but would also have guys who have gotten minutes already like Hapney and Horan, and younger players like  Nick Caccamo, Caden Kol, Tommy Drago, Landon Clary, Michael Page etc.  It's a bit scary to think multiple freshmen could be starting on defense, but spots will be open.  Scott and Kilrain would then come in the next year.

Lastly, I'm not sure if they plan on switching one of the close defenders to LSM, but I am a bit surprised that Dylan Sageder is the only LSM they've brought in between the two classes.
