Players are at Syracuse. Are you saying they aren’t good enough and shouldn’t be at Syracuse?

I am saying that there is a reason most college SSDMs played offense in high school. Clearing the ball is a big part of playing that position in college. Having 1 SSDM on the field who isn't trusted to handle and make decisions is a huge liability.

Saam Olexo, an excellent pole with a solid handle as an LSM, was given a short stick in 2021 and struggled in the clear, if I remember correctly. Andrew Helmer, before him, also struggled in that area when converted in 2019-2020.

It's an option, no doubt. But the clear, which we're already concerned about, is likely a partial cause for the staff's potential reservation to convert 1-2 of the depth defenders into SSDMs.

Just throwing this out there tho has rumored it but pretty sure more of joke at unc . But what bout getting bellichik to coach? lol He seems to be very good at seeing players potential or where they could best be used even if not spot they played before or mostly. That’s something great coach needs. To see the true skill in someone even if they don’t themselves. I vote for us to get bill bellichck to coach if gait isn’t the answer lol. Clearly a joke
