It's great to have a Dearth AA type SSDM but all u really need is 4 solid ones.  In fact have to have 4 solid ones. The past two yrs SU hasn't had 4.  Two yrs ago Rice was a freshman moving from O middie and was confused in Petros system then had Rosa and Dami on 2nd line who were both slow.  Last yr Aviles went down early so had two solid then Rosa and Trujillo who wasn't ready yet so Petro wore down Rice and Murphy. Then Aviles came back and had 3 solid but we all love Rosa but know he's to slow for fast ACC middies so then Petro wore down Rice and Aviles while teams picked on Rosa. Just one weak guy and teams will expose him.  This yr Titus has to step up with Rice then between Kempey, Spallina or Trujillo 2 have to come thru and be solid on that 2nd line.  If not then Stevens has to play some D.  I feel like all 5 will be solid tho honestly. Trujillo struggled last yr but it's a big jump for a shorty from HS to ACC play.  I think this yr hopefully he put some muscle on and is ready to go.  If 4 can be solid not great just solid then it will make a huge difference and the D will be much better.  Short sticks will get beat sometimes because there attacked all game long but if 4 can play solid D it will make a huge difference.  I feel bad with Rosa like I'm putting the kid down because he has such heart it's just if this team is ready to compete in May and make a run to MMD wknd then they need 4 fast, athletic solid shortys.  If all 5 end up solid man that would be big. Especially for any injuries.
