Message: [QUOTE="Powellfan, post: 3133436, member: 4819"] Think it is important to remember that the Fall is a time for experimenting, so a lot could change before the spring. I wonder if Helmer played so much with a long stick because of the injuries to others (Jack Kennedy and Staats specifically). If a freshmen plays in a scrimmage in a non-Alumni setting, he losses the opportunity to redshirt. So Desko probably didn't have as deep of a bench as he wanted. Agree with those who want Kennedy at LSM, I think he would be a great close defender, but I think he excels at midfield, and with Mellen I think you need more size, something Kennedy doesn't really offer. If Helmer starts at close that is probably a bad sign for the underclassmen, as I think Desko would have to feel really shaky about them to make that sort of move. [/QUOTE]
