Message: [QUOTE="JeremyCuse, post: 3248246, member: 43"] With Kennedy I believe it comes down to two things. 1. He after Mellen is our best overall defender. He has taken top Middies and shut them down (not all of course but you get the point), he is an elite LSM who also has the cover skills to play close (see the Rutgers game last year). When your playing an opponent with multiple elite attackmen (Virginia) Kennedy has the cover skills to be Mellen light which is a huge advantage for SU. LSM does take a hit but Fernandez and Helmer are still a formidable combo and the staff is high on the two frosh. 2. I have heard that next year Kennedy is moving to close full time regardless to take Mellen's spot as the #1 defender and will draw every teams #1 attackmen. [/QUOTE]
