Birtwhistle's highlight video is pretty short, so I figured I'd check youtube for full games of Radnor HS.  this is vs. Central Bucks East.  I really don't know how good they are.

I like what I've seen so far.  Birtwhistle is both assertive and he lets the game come to him.  Kind of a paradox, but he seems to accomplish it.  He's involved in some two-man game as the picker behind the goal and in front, probably to switch match ups.  He actually frees up the dodger for goals multiple times.  He's a physical dodger.  He is drawing a pretty quick slide and he looks for the open man.  He doesn't seem to have an array of moves at 5x5 to get a shot off, but that can be developed.  I wouldn't be surprised to see him at midfield considering the logjam at attack.  In his highlight video he looks more like a Syracuse midfielder than an attackman.  He reminds me of Trimboli a little bit.  Maybe a little Pat Perritt on offense.  All 3 dodge hard.
