SU Top 100: #40 Jonny Flynn
We dive into the top 40 of our SU Top 100 list with one of the most electric players to ever step foot on the Carrier Dome floor. Niagara Falls‚Äô own Jonny Flynn was one of the most prolific players in Orange history, especially in a long line of great point guards. Whether it was…

FizzCast: SU Top 100: #50-41
As we continue to release the Fizz’s SU Top 100 list, Jaron May and Thomas Shults are here to break down the next grouping of players– No. 50-41. The guys find a pairing of lacrosse players that probably should be a little higher and debate two other pairings, one from the football team and one…

SU Top 100: #42 Kevin Abrams
Our No. 42 is without a doubt, one of the best defensive backs to ever take the field for SU. Kevin Abrams first emerged onto the scene in 1994, leading the Big East in pass break-ups as a sophomore. However, things only got better from there. The Tampa Bay native followed up a strong ‚Äô94…

SU Top 100: #44 Jason Hart
Jim Boeheim is known for recruiting for the 2-3 zone. Find players that fit the system and worry about the rest later. This should be referred to as the ‚ÄúJason Hart model‚Äù. Hart is on this list for being one of the best zone defenders in Syracuse basketball history. The Los Angeles, CA native averaged…

SU Top 100: #48 Liz Hogan
We are more than halfway through our SU Top 100 list and there have already been so many talented players. It is a tall task to rank the greats of Syracuse athletics, but somehow the Fizz is doing it. Here comes the difficult part, however. Ranking No. 100-50 was easy, but ranking No. 50-1 is…

SU Top 100: #49 Mike Leveille
Checking in at 49th on our SU Top 100 list is one of the two winners of the Tewaaraton Award in Orange history. Mike Leveille had a prolific career with Syracuse from 2005-2008. While at SU, Leveille experienced both the lowest valley and highest peak of Orange lacrosse. In his junior season, the Orange went…

FizzCast: SU Top 100: #60-51
Jaron May and Ian Unsworth continue to break down the Fizz’s SU Top 100 list. The guys take a look at No. 60-51 this time and in the process have a couple disagreements. Plus, Jaron gets heated about one ranking. You can find the Fizz‚Äôs SU Top 100 list here. Make sure you keep checking in…

SU Top 100: #51 Brandon Triche
Staying on the hardwood for No. 51, our next player on the list comes from a bloodline that was rich in Orange to begin with. After his distinguished career at SU, Brandon Triche certainly built onto an already-cemented Syracuse family legacy. To the fondness of many, on The Hill, Triche‚Äôs uncle, Howard, played four years at…
-
SU Top 100: #53 Tebucky Jones
There‚Äôs no better word to describe Tebucky Jones than ‚Äúathlete‚Äù. Jones logged 495 yards and eight touchdowns as a running back for SU in his first three seasons on the Hill behind quarterback Donovan McNabb and tailback Malcolm Thomas. But the New Britain, CT native sets himself apart on the other side of the ball.…

SU Top 100: #57 Dion Waiters
There have already been plenty of talented athletes on the Fizz‚Äôs SU Top 100 list, but there hasn‚Äôt been one like the guy that comes in at No. 57. I‚Äôll give you some hints as to who it might be:¬† He was a five-star recruit. He never started a game for Syracuse. His college nickname…
-
SU Top 100: #58 Walter Sweeny
Dust off the archives for the 58th spot on our SU Top 100 list. While he didn‚Äôt really log any stats on the offensive line (Pro Football Focus came to the light almost 45 years later), Walter Sweeny deserves a heck of a lot of credit for paving the running lanes for some Orange greats.¬†…
-
SU Top 100: #60 Tom Marechek
Hailing from the Great White North, our 60th-ranked athlete did not earn the nickname ‚ÄúHollywood‚Äù without putting on quite a show. For four years, Tom Marechek graced Syracuse lacrosse with his dazzling style of play and a heck-of-a-lot of goals, to-boot. With the addition of ‚ÄúHollywood‚Äù after the 1988 season, the Orange improved from a…

FizzCast: SU Top 100: #70-61
Jaron May and Harrison Singer break down the next grouping of our SU Top 100 list– No. 70-61. They take a look at a handful of lacrosse and basketball players and debate if their rankings are accurate or not. There is some more agreement with the rankings this time around than last. You can find…

SU Top 100: #66 Tyler Ennis
The Fizz‚Äôs SU Top 100 list carries on with one of the best one-and-dones in Syracuse Men‚Äôs Basketball history. Coming in at the No. 66 spot is Tyler Ennis. The Canadian only played for the Orange during the 2013-2014 season, but man was that a good season. Before we get into details, just look at…

SU Top 100: #67 Ryan Nassib
You can‚Äôt peruse the Syracuse football record book without seeing a healthy dose of our 67th best Orange athlete of all-time.¬† Fresh out of the Greg Robinson dumpster fire, the Orange needed a reset. And boy did they get one thanks to quarterback Ryan Nassib. An aerial attack that would probably make your arm and…
-
SU Top 100: #69 Andre Cisco
After landing a commitment from Class of ‚Äò18 safety Andre Cisco, Dino Babers was presumably quite satisfied. However, I‚Äôm not sure anybody ‚Äì not even Dino ‚Äì could have imagined what the Orange was actually getting in the three-star recruit. To say Cisco made a seamless transition from high school to the ACC would be…

FizzCast: SU Top 100: #80-71

SU Top 100: #71 Tiana Mangakahia
Tiana Mangakahia‚Äôs impact on Syracuse was reflected in the immense amount of support she received last year after being diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. The #Tough4T campaign combines her number, nickname and personality. Mangakahia still has a lot of basketball ahead of her, including one more Final Four push in her senior season. That…

SU Top 100: #75 Tyus Battle
As we continue the Fizz‚Äôs SU Top 100 list, a recent name comes in at No. 75. He put together the best sophomore campaign of any Syracuse Men‚Äôs Basketball player in program history, hit some clutch shots, and was always rocking the brightest shoes on the court. The No. 75 spot goes to Tyus Battle.…
-
SU Top 100: #76 John Zulberti
Checking in at 76th on our SU Top 100 list is another Orange lacrosse legend. Maybe overshadowed because of the prowess of his teammates, John Zulberti has one of the most decorated legacies of any Syracuse lacrosse player. As a two-time national champion, Zulberti was a part of the powerhouse teams in the late 80‚Äôs.…

SU Top 100: #80 Dylan Donahue
The Top 100 athletes countdown continues with an SU legend who bleeds Orange more so than almost anyone else on this list.¬† Syracuse fans knew what Dylan Donahue was capable of all along. He went to high school at West Genesee in the shadow of the Dome. His father and three uncles played for SU.…
