Coletti seems low. He is on a very short list of best FOGOs in the country

[Henpecked]

Only one player in Division 1 had over 40 goals and 40 assists last year. Yet he will not come close to making the IL top 50 list. Shows how lame this list is.

[livelovelax]

Agreed. Does the staff ask the player's coaches their opinions or the opposing coaches their opinions? Knobloch (33) production was down? Do you think it had anything to do with Rutgers playing 5 less games than the previous year's final four run? Is there another two way middy that plays full field and always has the pole on him?

[Farfromgeneva]

He may not be the most popular kid but C Kav seems about 15 spots too low, give or take. Dobson is great but the best player returning on a Natl title team. (Entemann graduated right?)

[Powellfan22]

He may not be the most popular kid but C Kav seems about 15 spots too low, give or take. Dobson is great but the best player returning on a Natl title team. (Entemann graduated right?)

No Entemann did not graduate.

Wouldn't the best player on Notre Dame be Pat Kavanagh?

Thought he was done too. Was couting on it as I have C Kav and Dobson on my sons fantasy team.

But, often the little brother exceeds/transcends the older brother, so this year may answer that question differently than last year.

[Laxbuck]

Entemann is back
Best player on ND roster imo
Pat Kav is back but out until mid March likely due to shoulder surgery

They’re saying JP Ward got boosted by Tye Kurtz’ awesomeness.

Personally, I think TJ Malone will get the short shrift, a force in last year’s final four - had the look to beat Duke at Lincoln last year, back as a 6th year Covid, red-shirt.

There is zero chance that TJ Malone will not be on this top 50 list. 72 pts on a final four team. He will be top 20 easy.

Shane Knobloch at 33 is a comical take.

[Crease Crank]

Shane Knobloch at 33 is a comical take.

At least they didn’t forget him this year.

1. Brennan O'Neil - Duke
2. Conor Shellenberger - UVA
3. CJ Kirst - Cornell
4. Liam Entemann - Notre Dame
5. Pat Kavanagh - Notre Dame

[coda]

Didnt Posey tear an ACL? If that is the case, that is ranking is crazy
Sam English had a brutal season last year. That would be an amazing bounce back.
Malone looks low

50 - 11 and the Top 5 via the IL podcast. Not sure why they didn’t release 10-6.
