Agreed about DiPetro, this is his first time seeing extended minutes as a starter and while he hasn't played badly at all he does seem a step behind as compared to say Cunningham or Bomberry last year. DiPetro is not slow by any stretch but he's fleet of foot either, he's a solid defender but he's clearly the 3rd cover guy and constantly needing to be be bailed out via a slide or a double will result in disaster against a large portion of our scheduled ie pretty much every team left to play but teams like UVA Cornell and Army especially not mention the rest of the ACC schedule. I think we have to go with the assumption that as he sees more PT he will start to come around more and we will see less "reaching" as you noted. If not, once Mellen is back we may need to roll with a lineup of Mellen Kennedy and Murphy and make Dipetro the 4th guy.  I definitely share your concern about having to slide to often to Dipetro, that is something that will be a major issue moving forward and something to keep a close eye on.
