I've got Hopkins down to finish something like 7-6. I might be completely off, but I don't really trust their offense, and I think their very good FOGO last year covered up a lot of issues. Callahan was 60% last year with Hobot following him at just 24% (just 29 face-offs, but still). Swinnie could be a surprise, but it could really go downhill fast if they can't win face-offs. They never seemed to figure out the offense without Melendez. Iller looked good when the Orange played them, but your asking him to take quite a leap (22 points in 10 games last year). Maybe they get a boost in goal with the freshman Lamite, but it just feels like a lot of maybes and hopefullys with this team.

I dunno, for all the talk of the Syracuse coaches being bad-mouthed on the recruiting trail (not sure if that is true, but it came up), wouldn't Hopkins be pretty vulnerable to that? Missed the playoffs and underperformed pretty mightily (ranked 8th preseason), never been to a Final Four, coaching changes most years ... I don't know, how safe is Milliman? I'm kind of surprised it wasn't used against them more on the recruiting trail.
