There is a vast gulf between Powell and Sowers and the majority of D1 attackmen from a dodging standpoint. Using those two as a reference point isn't good idea unless your trying to review another them versus another elite level attackmen ie Sowers vs Spencer something of that nature.

Rehfuss is a good but not great dodger. He struggles against elite and upper level defenders. He absolutely eats up short stick defenders and 3rd long poles and can do damage against zones. Hopkins tried to double poll the midfield and seemed ready to triple poll at one point. Rehfuss had 9 assistants or something stupid like that. He can't be covered by a shorty.

Cook's lack of dodging to date has been a disappointment if I am being honest. I am a big Cook fan and while his overall play has been good including riding and other intangibles his offensive game at this level is still very much a work in progress. SU playing him at middie his frosh year was a mistake and I believe set him back. He just hasn't looked comfortable in most games but I don't want to get to crazy off of 5 games this past season when he's clearly deferring to the best midfield in the country and hasn't had the ball in his stick much.

I am interested to see how Cook looks this coming season or next with an above average dodger, especially if Hiltz is that guy.
