Lol, who, Brennan O'Neill? He was 10th in the country in goals per game, 21st in points per game, and a 2nd team All-American as a sophomore last year. Hello?

I don't know if Spallina will be a first team all american or not, but I'm not going to assume that his level of athleticism is going to stay the same or that he'll be playing his entire SU career against the defenders you listed (who he'll be playing against for one season). At some point, Spallina will actually be older than some of the defenders he goes up against. Not in 2023, but sometime after that.

Hey I am not here to bash O'neill but at some point stats matter. First two years. I am sorry to point out facts, these kids are better.
Shellenberger 5.13 PPG
Brandau 4.8 PPG
Kirst 4.15 PPG
O'Neil 3.79 PPG
Then go look up Lyle, Pannel, Gray, Spencer, Nolting. first 2 years

Have to wait and see if he earns first team A, or is given award because he was great in HS,I think Nolting, Meyer’s, and Kavangh should of be ahead of him this year.

Still not what I asked, but fine. Nolting plays for the Cannons.

If Brennan is 1st team AA these next two seasons I don’t know how anyone can say he didn’t have a great college career. He IS a great player. I believe he suffers from some of the hype that preceded his arrival.

I agree great player, until he becomes a better feeder can't see him having the stats for first team AA, Shellenberger, Bradau, Myers, Kavanagh, dark horse one of the BU attack guys.

Has Maryland given #1 to incoming freshmen or transfers (à la Scanlon)? Was Rambo promised #1 as a recruit, or did he have to earn it/grow into it? I don't know, but I think it makes for a healthier climate if these rewards are earned. This is not a shot at Spallina, just an observation from 10,000 feet.

Shellenberger is my favorite college lacrosse player. He really is sensational and I am a hard marker.

Rambo wore 15 as a freshman in 2014. The #1 was Chanenchuck.

Kid is unreal. He's just so smart and so smooth, with such an accurate and quick shot.

I was honestly shocked how well Zappitello played him this year especially in the playoffs. Didn't think anyone could do that to him.
