I was hesitant to accept a middie moving to attack, but the midfield is pretty stacked next season.  To be honest though, what I remember from Curry's and Dordevic's HS highlights was operating from the top of the box, not behind the cage.

Please keep in mind that the coaches want to run two effective midfield lines.  I think the 2's were pretty good this season, but I'd like to see more production.  Really, only Buttermore was very productive on the 2's.  Next season, if no middie is moved to attack SU returns 5 productive middies (Dordevic, Curry, Trimboli, Lipka and Buttermore), so a 2nd midfield line could be very effective.  Maybe Quinn, Magnan or Fiorini is the 6th guy to run in that group.

The coaches also like to have an inside finisher at attack, as long as he's drawing a long pole, so I wouldn't be real surprised if either Basil Aburn or Sean Donnelly play significant minutes in that role.

I agree with Whitey that the unit is unlikely to improve much, however, if Rehfuss continues his upward trajectory as a dodger, which he displayed more towards the end of this season, that helps A LOT.  Also, if Rehfuss develops some chemistry with some of the other guys, like Cook, Seebold or a crease guy, that helps a lot.  Also, if the midfield is devastatingly good, that helps as well.
