Spallina is not Mikey Powell. He may be the #1 recruit. No disrespect intended.
One factor in why Desko is not there anymore is the approach he took to recruiting defensemen.
Syracuse is young and almost an entirely new team. It will take time to mesh.
A question in my mind is who can beat their man and force a slide or force the defense to shift. Who has the speed.
It can be argued the two players that will have the most impact are Dwan and the other top D recruit. Not to mention Simmons et al.
Just a couple of thoughts
