Maher is listed as 6'1 187. I was really impressed with Duke's shorties last year, both Gray and McGuire were listed as over 6 foot as well.  Freakishly athletic. To me that's kind of the standard you should look for, though those guys do not grow on trees.

I don't think you have to have all your shorties listed as 6'3 but I do think it helps to have guys who handle themselves in a more physical matchup.  I understand Schutz and Dobson will draw the LSM most every possession, but there will be times that matchups get mixed up.  Sometimes there is nothing you can do about it, but it helps to have a guy who can hold is own out there physically.

Additionally Notre Dame will most likely rollout a midfield of Dobson (6'4), Devon McLane (5'11) and Reilly Gray (6'4). Even if you put a shortie on McLane, which is scary, you are leaving one of the other two gigantic midfielders with a short stick. Are you comfortable if that shorty is giving up five inches and 20 pounds?
