There is definitely a case to add trimboli to this list. I would definitely put Jack Hannah of Denver in the top three. Weird to have a guy who only played one game last year in over him, since he put up 27 points in 6 games.
It seems a little strange that the Terps midfielder A.DeMaio doesn't make the team.
Bias. The media is in love with Duke after all the player additions and it seems to have elevated the status of all their players. Sowers is exceptional and will do what he does, but it will be interesting to see how the rest of the pieces come together.It seems a little strange that the Terps midfielder A.DeMaio doesn't make the team.
He was HM AA in 2019, and had 21 points in 6 games last spring.
DeMaio scored more than either Caputo (20 pts) or Montgomery (15 pts) and Duke played 8 games.
Yes! If ND actually had 2 longpoles in the top 6 in the nation they wouldn't be giving up 13, 13, and 14 goals in their last three games. Someone was getting beat. Actually my fave defender on notre dame is ssdm John Hallenbeck (#24). Great cover guy, but it seems like the only ssdms who get recognition are ones that are flashy in transition. Seen Terefenko get beat quite a few times and don't think he is the best short stick cover guy, but he is so aggressive and dangerous on the fast break so he always gets the most love. Same could be said for Dearth. Zach Goodrich is the last famous SSDM who was actually the best cover guy, which should be valued above all else.Being ACC fans you might not care about it much, but they don't name a single Big Ten long stick (LSM or Defensemen) to the team. I think that Cardile at PSU was an HM AA back in 2019. Brett Makar is blossoming into a star for the Terps.
Why all this love for Notre Dame with 2 2nd team AAs on the close defense? Wasn't ND 2-3 last year?
good point on Terefenko, average cover. But he terrifies the other team, because he is sensational off the ground, smart, fast and aggressive in transition and a freaking lot of fun to watch.Yes!

Stringing his sticks. It feels like so few players use traditional stringing these days.Thought I would put this article here since it is the same magazine. One fun little piece of info in here is that Scanlan strings Rehfuss' sticks. Says they have a very strong connection, due in part to the fact that he assisted on half of his 18 goals last season.

I tend to think that PSU might take a step back without Ament, but on the other hand they do have a nice group of veteran players and should not be taken lightly.Man that O'Keefe prediction is obnoxious. He is not breaking any records this year without Ament there. Sorry. Not happening. He is a great player and will score goals but I remain puzzled by the sentiment out there that Penn State will somehow not take any sort of step back now that Ament is gone.
The rest of the predictions don't seem very bold.
