Lot's of food for thought.  Thanks for the always thoughtful evaluation.  About Solomon, I always think of him as a finisher- garbage man not a dodger.  In chaos around the goal, he has a knack for grabbing the ball standing on his head and scooping it with the knob end of his cross off the goalie's nose into the net.  He does not dodge well against any long sticks and still runs into doubles.  He and Voight won't work.  If Voight, then someone else.  If Solomon than ...

I am always looking for that little guy who can amaze like Rice.  Cook might be that guy.  I would not be surprised to see him as the third attack.  He is clever and quick from the x.  If Voight, then he might even replace Solomon at times.  If Solomon then he could replace Voight.  Rehfuss ought to slow down and spend a lot of time learning to take the right angles from x, otherwise he'll spend another year in the land of the occasionally effective.

I think ssdms had trouble with slide packages all year, hence the confused defense.  Bomberry was nearly crippled, moved slowly, and was late many times to slide. Another cause for breakdowns.  I have a feeling there's enough athletic talent among the ssdms to produce a big improvement next year.  I still like Ola and Murphy for size and speed.  Dearth threatens to move Abbott like up the field at times.  I'm optimistic about these guys.

No idea about goalie or FO.  I think however that Varallo improved throughout the year in winning the FO and taking the ball off the ground and down the field.

I wonder if the coaches might grab a middie for the attack.  Trimboli or Curry or Dordevic, or Lipka, one of them as the third attack.  Probably a bad idea.  They play well together.  Why break them up.  I still think that the attack will be a defining weakness like it was this year without the advent of a dangerous x or third attack.

More later
