Late to this but thanks to all for the scrimmage updates/summaries/insights, it is very much appreciated! Pleasantly surprised by the outcome of the scrimmage, did not expect the offense to be so productive, but the talent is certainly there. As a guy who just read this board and the game summaries by IL and Syracuse.com the best news is the emergence of Griffin Cook - I think having that third spot solidified will have a huge impact for the team. Seebold emerging as well would be the cherry on top - I don't want to get ahead of myself, but this offense could really be electric, and a huge headache for opposing coaches. Not only should they have the best first midfield in the country, but with Lipka and Buttermore they should have the best second line as well.

I also did not really expect the defense to give up so many goals. Understood that DU went on a run late in the game so the numbers look worse than they probably are, but thought the D would perform better. Especially head scratching is the supposed play of the short sticks, I have high hopes for the unit this season, plenty of experience and they are all big/strong/athletes.  Not going to over-react to a scrimmage, but do somewhat worry that we took a lot of what Cunningham and Bomberry did for granted last year.  Their shoes might be bigger to fill than we thought.  Still think the talent is there but might take some time to gel.
