Message: [QUOTE="ivorytower, post: 3874026, member: 6888"] Haven't seen Teat in awhile but Hiltz has some similar traits to him and even Gray , few are the water bug that Gray is but Hiltz a hybrid who can operate from most anywhere. with his vision, passing skills and wide array in or out. Intuitive and more athletic than he appears , has hesitation moves that bballers have to throw defenders off balance. At Duke , yep served as a decoy who pulled defender out which spread the field for others . Smart move, dumb d by Duke .Similar tactic used earlier in season with Scanlan vs Army to lesser effect. Lack of fall practice definitely hurt. Hope much emphasis in fall seven on these two offensive fronts. 1-Never integrated all the various offensive skills. Some were complementary others were not . Went from mid centric to attack centric after Hiltz insertion which brought out Refhuss total skillset that is continuing in PLL however it stifled some others without adjusting to blend. Too many times Trimboli Trimboli was spectator given his placement. Should be obvious to all that both Curry and Dordevic are best initiating up top and running downfield at defenders creating space for themselves to shoot or draw and dish creating ball movement, They are not nearly as effective receiving ball in the box . Love to get thoughts on others here on how to achieve a happy medium whether it be approach or rejuggling of persomnel to best blend and utilize the differing talents. . 2-Too late for Dearth now but our inability or reluctance to outlet upfield wasted away their his transition skills as well as Kennedy and Aviles. Every week watched lesser ball stoppers quickly release upfield off saves creating transition into unsettled defenses. In women lax, Goldstock and other goalies were doing same off many stops . Simply maddening that Cuse men didnt t despite h releases to upfield openings only to see those run off frustrated while we wasted clock with the back and forth crap that allowed opposing defenses to settle. Ridiculous, smh. .K Donahue and Madonna was missed in that facet . Dearths transition skills will flourish in the PLL. Young goalies have the ability to outlet , should be another emphasis. come fall. [/QUOTE]
