P22 - It's not just us, it's the coaches too.  No one group or individual stood out last year at ssdm.  For a minute someone would show up.  The next minute, he'd screw the pooch.  I liked all of the ssdms for short periods.  Then I didn't.  I like Dami for his speed, hip quicks, aggressiveness.  Oops he missed a slide.  I think Dearth is by far the best all round athlete of all the possibilities, particularly for his clearing and offensive capabilities.  Murphy is a horse.  Intelligent and aggressive.  Athletic too.  Helmer's good with both sticks and plays with both, which is why he does not play well consistently at short.  I have long asserted that it takes any least two years to train a good ssdm.  The past year was training day for many.  I think you will see a narrowed group of ssdms this year.  What I like about the whole group is its size and general talent level, unusual for SU for the last few years.  Even though they screwed up during many games, I enjoyed watching them struggle.  Hutchings seemed too slow to me to play every rotation.  I would leave him out of the group, but then what do I know.  I believe the coaches will be forced to choose to leave ssdms in even though they spit the bit at times, just to build confidence and experience with adversity.  What if the whole group comes back this year far more capable?  Wishful thinking?
