Message: [QUOTE="Zack80, post: 3383837, member: 1245"] Holden plays in the NEC and it is a big jump up to UMd's level. Perhaps not quite as big for Brown who has been playing in the Patriot league. Both are right-hand shooters, so maybe Tillman went after both, hoping to get one who really can excel. Shellenberger is a right-hander, so UVa probably moves Cormier to Kraus's lefty spot. UVa's top attack recruits Maher and McIntosh are both lefties also. There was that article that said UVa wasn't giving out extra money for returning 5th year seniors, and apparently Jared Conners is returning - so he counts in the 12.6. Let's not forget that bringing back 5th year seniors is stockpiling talent somewhat like bringing in transfers. In the end, it is probably better to have a player like Rehfuss return, who has shown he can do it at the top level and knows your system, than picking up a player like Brown or Holden. Of course, having Bernhardt return would be even better. [/QUOTE]
