[I]Syracuse: On paper, I’m expecting a similar year in 2020 to what we saw in 2019 for the Orange: very good at times, but ultimately just outside that top tier. In other words, another 9-10 win type campaign where maybe they make the quarterfinals. Cuse loses its top two scorers in Voigt and Solomon, but they do get electric middie Tucker Dordevic back to add to one of the deepest midfields in the country. Stout defenseman Nick Mellen also returns (though linemates Tyson Bomberry and Marcus Cunningham are now gone) as well as goalie Drake Porter. Cuse will have to find some answers at attack, but the midfield, defense, and goal are strong enough to warrant top 10 consideration with the potential for more. IL does not think very highly of their recruiting class, putting them at #18 overall with no one in the top 50.

Syracuse Tucker Dordevic should be back after missing last year due to injury, which will soften the loss of Nate Solomon and Bradley Voigt. Nick Mellen and Drake Porter hold down a defense that must replace Tyson Bomberry and Austin Fusco. A deep stable of middies remain a strength. Lax Magazine Way Too Early 2020 Rankings [I]7. SYRACUSE 2019 record: 9-5 (2-2 Atlantic Coast) Last seen: On the wrong end of a traditional role reversal, unable to keep pace with a dominant offensive talent as it lost a first round NCAA tournament game to Loyola and Pat Spencer. Senior starts lost: 55 of 140 (39.29 percent) Senior scoring departing: 93 of 277 points (33.57 percent) Initial forecast: For those scoring at home, 2019 marked the sixth consecutive year the Orange didn’t advance to the final weekend of the season. This, needless to say, has not gone over well for those in central New York who grew accustomed to making Memorial Day weekend hotel reservations nearly a year in advance on an annual basis for a quarter-century. That it happened when Syracuse fielded arguably its best defense since 2011 had to make it all the more frustrating. The Orange lacked a dominant figure on offense, and now its two most productive players at that end of the field (Bradley Voigt and Nate Solomon) have graduated. That leaves five returnees who finished with between 23 and 39 points returning, but will there be a breakout star next year? Perhaps midfielder Brendan Curry, a third team All-America pick as a sophomore. Syracuse should still be solid on defense, with close defenseman Nick Mellen (second team All-America), long pole Brett Kennedy (third team) and short stick Peter Dearth (honorable mention) all back. It’s not hard to imagine a similar outcome next spring: Perfectly solid with no fatal flaws, but not quite enough oomph to get over the hump in May.[/I] 5-1 [URL='https://www.uslaxmagazine.com/college/men/way-early-2020-rankings-no-5-1-division-i-men']Way-Early 2020 Rankings: No. 5-1 (Division I Men)[/URL] 10-6 [URL='https://www.uslaxmagazine.com/college/men/way-early-2020-rankings-no-10-6-division-i-men']Way-Early 2020 Rankings: No. 10-6 (Division I Men)[/URL] 15-11 [URL='https://www.uslaxmagazine.com/college/men/way-early-2020-rankings-no-15-11-division-i-men']Way-Early 2020 Rankings: No. 15-11 (Division I Men)[/URL] 20-16 [URL='https://www.uslaxmagazine.com/college/men/way-early-2020-rankings-no-20-16-division-i-men']Way-Early 2020 Rankings: No. 20-16 (Division I Men)[/URL] 25-21 [URL='https://www.uslaxmagazine.com/college/men/way-early-2020-rankings-no-25-21-division-i-men']Way-Early 2020 Rankings: No. 25-21 (Division I Men)[/URL] [/QUOTE]
