Maybe but gotta think it’s him or Finn that bump to attack. Who is better suited for middie? I’m not all that familiar with Mulè. Is he a viable dodging threat from up top?He may have to play MF.
that would be a waste of his skill set. run a two QB system where both he and spallina can facilitate from behind or around goalline extended. keep thomson at midfield/4th attackman. the offense is twice as dangerous when there are two quarterbacks. see virginia 2021 or yale 2018He may have to play MF.
What if they start playing with a 3rd line.. did it sparingly this yearOh me oh my. Insane grab by the staff. Certainly in the category of so good that the positives outweigh the negatives (taking a younger guys spot, transfer reputation, etc). Wonder if we make room for him at attack or not. Could technically have spallina on the right side while he is the x man, but probably more likely he is a starting middie.
Transfers are a part of the scene now with the covid year and you have to play the game or they will just crush on one of your rivals rosters. Not something I love about the current scene. Personally I really hope that it is over and done for us on the offensive end. Again, only one ball. I had from a reliable source that Griffin King wanted to transfer to cuse and now he is headed elsewhere so clearly we aren’t just taking all comers.
I’m sure NIL is a factor, but it is clear that people like our style and want to play for us. Other top schools were certainly offering playing time and money for this guy but we still got him. We are here to take over!

Think it is more likely we find a way for him to play attack rather than second line. He is a serious talent and we will want him out there as much as possible. Would love to see us truly incorporate a third middie line with all these skilled players.I think he plays man up and second line middie. He's not starting over Hiltz or Leo imo. He seems to be an exceptional passer and that is something the second line mids were lacking this year.

Definitely an exciting addition I don’t see it changing the team much without an improvement at the face off and on defense. Time will tell if that gets addressed I’d love to hear they were bringing in a top fogo or a stud pole or SSDM.
I don’t think putting him at starting middie or a role like Kirst where it’s half middie half attack would be a waste. As long as he is out there frequently.As NYC noted playing him at middie would be a waste. This move tells me Syracuse will keep Thomson at middie and Mule will slide into the attack spot vacated by Kirst. You don't bring in the nations 3rd highest assist guy and run him on the 2nd mid line. I'd be pretty surprised if he wasn't running on the starting attack line in the fall.
To put another way- Tommy Schelling went from putting up numbers similar to Mule at Lehigh to having a 20 point middie season at Duke. Obviously Kirst worked out perfectly for us and his numbers were a bit lower than those guys at Lehigh, but the competition jump clearly can be a potential factor.I don’t think putting him at starting middie or a role like Kirst where it’s half middie half attack would be a waste.

part of it was the competition and part of it was because matt danowski is bad at his job and consistently puts guys in positions that fail to maximize their skill sets. remember when he had dyson williams running out of the box and taking alley dodges at midfield?
