Conor Gaffney – Lehigh
The Lehigh product hasn’t seen as many opportunities during his final season with the Mountain Hawks, splitting time with Mike Sisselberger, who has flourished under the new NCAA faceoff rules. While this season has looked a bit different, don’t discount the success Gaffney had during his first four seasons at Lehigh, where he consistently ranked in the nation’s top ten and set Patriot League records during his junior season. Gaffney is on track to finish his college career having won over 63% of draws and scooping up well over 400 ground balls.
Greg Gurenlian’s Take: Conor Gaffney is the biggest dark horse. I think people are forgetting how incredibly good he was on a knee. He’s strong, he rotates really fast, he’s good at moving body between his feet and his hands, and getting around the ball quickly.
