I take your point, I agree there has been a drop off over the last few years, however we have picked up on recruiting faceoff guys in the next few years and its unfortunate DeMarco and Paduda are out still. The problem with faceoff guys is when they come out of high cshool you still dont know how they will translate at the DI level, its a lottery. Face off guys are an enigma and they can come from anywhere! Fowler at Duke was a walk on, he had played lax and Chaminade but played football!
 
The other issue with the now sped up/quick whistle game is that you need Face off guys that can handle, no more Mr Fogo they have to be able to stay on the field. The other problem is its very rarely a 3 on 3 now at the face off X, its usually pinch and pop out front so the wings arent even involved anymore. Chris D just isnt making good decisions right now, its painful I feel bad for him but id love to see him succeed.
 
We just have to grin a bare it and let them work through it, no point throwing our toys out of our pram the guys are doing the best they can well find a face off team that will work eventually, I hope its not too late!
 
I would have picked up Trevor Brosco from LI that went to Notre Dame.
