Overall, this is a pretty solid list. There are some guys that deserved to be on the list that didn't make it too, of course. One that comes to mind is former SU goalie that is now the Chief of the Onondaga Nation, Oren Lyons. Lyons played with Jim Brown at Syracuse.

On attack, you can make a case for guys like Liam Banks, Mike Springer, or Kenny Nims.

At midfield there is no real face-off specialist so I would think Chris Cercy or Danny Brennan should have made the team. Other than that, this does seem to sufficiently capture the best players in Orange lacrosse history, though.
