Message: [QUOTE="Powellfan, post: 4718734, member: 4819"] Thanks for the insight, even though it was a little harsh on the Cuse boys. In your opinion, do you think if Jake Spallina focused on one position at the next level he could excel at it? The worry is that he could fall into a “master of none” silo if he tries to cover too much ground in college. Sounds like this might be the case, according to you. I feel like you might be a little harsh on his faceoff skills given he went against two of the best at that position. I wasn’t expecting him to come in and be the main fogo for SU, just someone who could be a change of pace. Also that position is notorious for being incredibly hard to predict. I wonder if he focused all his time there he might be able to excel at it. Perhaps not. I guess I’ve seen him as an SSDM in college, maybe one who could be a threat in transition from time to time. He got beat a few times in the All American game but so did most everyone. In regards to Deere, I guess not every attackmen needs to fit the super athletic, dodge heavy type. He stood out for me with his super soft hands and he movement. Also in an all star game, finishers don’t tend to make a huge impact since most of their teammates aren’t looking to pass. Curious to see how he fits in with the Orange offense. Does he do really well since he’d be surrounded by a ton of great passers? Or will not having a lot of elite dodgers surrounding him, hurt his impact? He might be someone who comes in and out of the lineup depending on who the Orange are playing. One other player who stuck out for me last night was Hunter Chauvette going to Hopkins. He had two goals. He can absolutely shoot the heck out of the ball. Incredible velocity and range. Not the biggest kid but if he gets his hands free from 10 yards watch out. [/QUOTE]
