That would definitely be an interesting development. If that happens I guess the big question is who plays alongside Leo and Spallina? I would assume Thomson reclaims his spot from last year, but Anderson would also be an option.  With Thomson you'd have a veteran finisher, plus as a righty he'd help space the field. If they go with Anderson, you'd have three really good dodgers all at the position.

If it is Anderson, that might be awkward as I think both he and Leo take up similar spots on the field. Neither one is really an "X"/behind the cage attackman. But they did okay last year with Hiltz and Anderson last year so perhaps I am overthinking the spacing angle.

If the top five is Spallina, Thomson, Anderson, Leo and Rhoa, that leaves an unnamed player fighting for that last starting spot (most likely at midfield).  McCarthy and Hottle underwhelmed last year as second line midfielders. Are any of the freshmen (Hahn, Rawson) ready? Is someone like O'Farrell or Meyer going to make a position change? Feels like there is a ton of talent on offense, but can't remember a time in the last two years where there was such an open question regarding the last starting spot.
