There are now just four top 50 players from IL's list remaining who are uncommitted.

1. Brandon Millon - Attack - McDonough
2. Gary Merrill - Midfield - St. Anthony's
34. Matthew Triolo - Attack - John Glenn (NY)
50. Wes Martin - Midfield - St. Anne's Belfield (VA)

I think that the only player who SU might have a chance with is Triolo. The reasons have been mentioned before, but he plays for Team 91 and is a public school kid. His club team coach has a player at SU right now (Christian Mule), though plenty of other Team 91 Shock kids have gone elsewhere.  He is a lefty and with Peyton Anderson coming in next year, the Orange might not want to invest a ton in another left handed attackman. That said Triolo looks like a great player - he looks bigger than his 6'3 height and is a very flashy player. Certainly a kid you can see fitting in with an Gait/March offense.  Hopefully he's at least considering SU.

After that there are 22 four star recruits left this cycle.  I have to imagine SU is being aggressive as it looks like have lowest number of recruits out of the upper echelon schools right now.  SU is only at six recruits while other schools are approaching double digits, or have exceeded it.  Certainly not saying SU has their pick of the litter right now (UVA and Yale have only one more recruit than the Orange), but hopefully the Orange can afford to be a little more aggressive.
