Steve graduated...Billy is still around though..
My question is: where is Nick Mirabito from Navy?
Fourth leading scorer from Navy as a soph, and has posted a point in every game he's played in. At least honorable mention to me.

I agree with pretty much everyone on the list, but i think Bonacci should be higher than a third team AA.

i agree with that also, hes an amazing player
I think the thrid team middies are better than third team, Downing has been incredible for Fairfield, hes the catalyst of their team, Sowanick will be one of Princetons two offensive weapons (Trombino), Perrit was third team last year, Jacovina not sure about hes the only one i agree with there. And pat heim and Stephen peyser dont deserve second team, considering the other options. Also I think Matt Drenan might move up by the end of the year. And Byrne, Hardy and Gladding are all looking as though they will have big years and could displace Cannon (even though im a fan of GTown). For the honorable mentions i think Jordan Hall, Guadagnolo, Stephen Brooks, Mark Kovler, Ian Dingman, Tom Dooley, Matt Eckerl and Jim Connolly have the potential to move up. Its hard to tell now but we'll see when the season comes around. There are a lot of great players and big names on the list, and its gonna be really close for each spot.

Most of the time, people arent gonna pick freshman for a preseason all-american list, thatd be setting expectations pretty high for someone who hasnt even played a real college game.

Hardy was alright last year, but this year he should be starting at attack, which is his real spot, and SU is better this year overall. I saw him at Lax for Leukemia and he looked really good, but we'll have to see

yeah but i dont think he still did enough last year to deserve preseason all american honors. wouldnt be surprised though to see him there at the end of the season
and he also put on 20lbs of muscle for his 6-5 frame

huntley? Huh? Garrett Billings for UVA scored three times more points than him as a freshman and he didn't even start! Huntley deserves maybe an honorable mention....
I strongly disagree, Huntely is an amazing attackmen, Billings numbers will go down without help, hes a finisher and losing that strong midfield and Matt Ward is gonna hurt him a lot

I'm sorry, but did you see Huntley's numbers last year or see him play? He has one move, an inside role - the guy couldn't hit water if he jumped out of a boat. Last year was Billing's first season EVER PLAYING FIELD LACROSSE and the guy put up twice as many points as a FRESHMAN. Rubeor, Gladding run circles around Huntley.

Numbers do not tell the whole story. Do you remember a guy by the name of kyle harrison that only had 17 points. Huntley, I agree is not the premier attackman but billings is not either. Both are not good dodgers or feeders.

point taken. I was responding to some guy saying Huntley was an "excellent" attackman and should have been 1st team All American. That's clinically insane....
But watch out for Billings - he was a roll player last year and I think may develop into a great all-around player. He tore up the BCLS with 50 goals and 50 assists - let's wait to see how he shakes out.
