Great posts Jeremy! I thinks its safe to say you bleed Syracuse lacrosse through and through! Agree with a lot of what you say above.

I'm not quite as optimistic, worried that this team has been reading over and over again about how great they are in the pre-season (just about everyone has them  1 or 2) but do agree at least on paper we should make a  tournament run to Memorial Day weekend. That said, I think we'll even be better next year, perhaps lose just one game.

They may lose a few early on, as the coaching staff has to take some time in assembling/blending the talent on offense. Also, quite a few new faces on D with Mullins (although he did play 2 years ago), Palasek/Tait and short sticks with Grimm and Messina.  I think that unit will get better as the season progresses but we may take some lumps early. The same is true on offense. Midfield has some new starters in Schoony and Lecky who are trying to replace JoJo and Luke. Think it will take some time for Schoony, Lecky, Staats, Galasso and others to get comfortable playing together and figuring out roles for each player but once that happens the sky is the limit! Read somewhere that Randy is a bigger/stronger version of Lyle Thompson. Wow!

Looks like nothing has change very much on face-offs, but hoping Paduda or DeMarco is the answer. I think we brought in Iacono to match up with Duke's Fowler.We maybe exposed more this year as ACC competition offers some real studs.  Still got to remember as bad as we were on face-offs we still made it to the championship game last year. Looking forward to  Siena game on Monday.
