Message: [QUOTE="JeremyCuse, post: 620422, member: 43"] Agree on #1, but at least Desko went with Paduda for an extended period of time. He seemed to be able to hold is own. A two some of him and Daddio moving forward should be the plan for SU. I would like to see them have the coach in charge of faceoffs start changing Conroy's style now, if we can get him off the ground we could have a decent three headed faceoff monster going into next year plus anyone else that we bring in for the 2014 class. Another issue is our wing play, we were outhustled big time on the wings, we need to get some speed on the wings and quick, looked like we were stuck in molasses out there. Regarding your second point, yes SU was awful verus Rutgers for three quarters but outside of that SU has been pretty good this year passing, clearing and suprisingly with shot selection which has really hurt SU the past two years. By shot selection I am referring to not only when we shoot but also how we vary up the shootign location, high to high, low to high low to low, bounce shot, quick stick etc. For the first three quarters Saturday I saw one of the worst performances from a fundamental standpoint of any SU lax game I can remember. Horrible passes, horrific turnovers, out husted repeatedly, and inability to scoop groundballs including Hamlin having a breakway where on a ground ball with no one in 10 yards of him he incidently shot the ball up to the ceiling. All that being said, outside of the RU game we have been pretty good with all of those issues, unless theres a repeat against Hobart I wouldnt worry to much about it. On your third point, this SU team is not built like the traditional SU teams as far as run and gun. This team can score in transition but thats not really there strength outside of Maltz. Guys like Cometti and Schoonmaker arent run and gun guys and Marasco gets into trouble when he tries to do to much and isnt really a good % shooter over the course of his career. Next years team should be a much better team for transition with the addition of Evans, Staats, Galasso, Dylan Matlz etc. Also keep in mind that in a lot of our transition opportunities we have a long pole or a short stick D mid flying in, setting up a running goal or shot is not exactly there forte.
