Message: [QUOTE="Powellfan, post: 3379016, member: 4819"] I think Morrill is certainly that player, but it really seems unlikely he would end up here. He has no natural connections to the school, isn't from the area, and has two strong connections to other schools (JHU and Georgetown). It would take a pretty big push from Desko and staff to somehow convince him. Sowers made sense because of the March connection at least, I just don't see it here. Would Bertrand or Holden make the SU attack better than say UNC? Probably not, but I can't help but think they'd make the team better. What the SU attack really lacks is a strong dodger, Rhefuss is a good passer and distributor but gets shut down but good defenders. Scanlan is an excellent finisher who can dodge but its not his primary skill. Cook, to me, is a guy who can both dodge and pass, but isn't excellent at either. He is terrific on the ride which is his greatest talent. But he can disappear for long stretches and most games I forget he is on the field. Hiltz obviously comes in with a lot of hype, its just hard to think about how well he'll fit into the offense when there is very little tape of him available. Bertrand and Holden aren't sure things like Morrill and Sowers obviously. Bertrand played DII for three years, but on tape he looks very aggressive and has great size. Only issue he's a lefty, along with Rhefuss and Hiltz. Holden looked like an All American against SU but I beleive he is a very high quantity shooter and don't know how that would play at SU with so many guys looking for the ball. Plus, no offense to Hobart but SU's schedule would be a big step up. It's interesting that apparently lots of teams are looking at him to play midfield. I keep wondering what would happen if I saw a tweet saying "Eric Holden transferring to Syracuse", and I keep feeling like that would be the right move for SU. I could be totally wrong, but I can't help but think they need an upgrade at that third attack spot next to Rhefuss and Scanlan. Maybe it's Hiltz, maybe Cook is worth riding with, but with other teams stocking up I can't help but feel like SU will be left behind and we'll be wondering next May, "what if?". [/QUOTE]
