Stevens definitely has some shake. That’ll be a great addition to Cuse’s midfield.
Georgetown does seem to be a top transfer attractor. Acquiring transfers can be a little fickle though.
Ehhh almost all his points were in easy situations. All his goals except one dodge on a short stick were wide open shots. None of his assists were off of drawing slides or skip passes in a tight spot. Points don’t always tell the whole story. Twitter always fawns over a large point number but he was more of a finisher today. Minicus however was a total psycho. Never seen anyone torch Saustad and Kaestner that many times.
During the two games today, I watched all four teams' ssdms closely. Duke and UVA both ran out 3 or 4 who were either big fast very athletic underclassmen or seasoned excellent fast upperclassmen who could hold the other teams best attacks after big little hand offs without giving up either goals or great passes. McGuire of Duke and was one example, a freshman who made several good plays. Georgetown and Michigan could not take advantage while UVA and Duke could abuse their ssdms. Big factors in their success. More evidence that you cannot get by with mediocre dms. Most of the good ones for the winners were exceptional offensive mids in hs. I do not think SU can decide to employ their best freshmen most athletic offensive mids as second line offensive players. I think UVA might make a player like Rhoa into a dm during his first year. Of course they have many more great freshman recruits than SU, so it would be easier for them. I always run into that great wall of recruiting when thinking about this stuff.
Would certainly be interesting to have Army play on Memorial Day. Might draw a bigger TV audience and grow the game.
