Message: [QUOTE="SUlax88-09, post: 5696832, member: 9879"] Nice call with McCarthy! My thoughts of the team so far this year: Offense- Spallina has been masterful this year (I was worried his goose egg against Princeton may cost him the Tewaarton but maybe not; I’ve been very critical of him since his opening game stinker as a freshman but he’s been great this year!), Thomson is an incredible finisher (although his box lacrosse late checks/slashes that draw penalties are annoying), Leo is a stud, and Hottle and Anderson have been great. What to do with Leo and Anderson though? I like Leo and Anderson both more at attack, but Andersen looks lost at middie, where as Leo can play middie. Hmm. That’s a question we’ll need to figure out in order to maximize our offense because if we don’t win a chip this year, it’ll be because of the offense… Defense- Excellent overall, Beck is a significant drop off compared with Michael Grace, but our SSDMs of Bowen, McCarthy, and Kittelberg are solid (Jake Spallina hurts us more than he helps us, I’m very relieved that Ochoa is out of the rotation, and they should take Hahn out of the SSDM rotation, too), and Bolognino is much better at LSM then when he tried to play SSDM Special teams- Man Up looks good, Man Down looks good (glad we stopped the Junkyard Dog Man Down gimick), McCool is our MVP, and Mullen hasn’t been great but he’s the one player on the team that cannot get hurt (we can’t win a chip if he gets hurt because we have no real back-up FOGO) Go Cuse Lax! Princeton already beat us (pretty badly, too), Richmond looks really good (I think they were the 2nd best team last year), and Notre Dame, Penn State, and Duke all look strong, but if we can get our offense going, then we can play with anyone. Let’s put our chips ‘all in’ this year because this will be our best chance for a While to win a chip. The cupboard is pretty bare when this senior class graduates [/QUOTE]
