Message: [QUOTE="JeremyCuse, post: 1046932, member: 43"] 1. Fully expect Hill to start barring some sort of academic or injury issue, he is one heck of a player. I suspect Wardwell will pull out all the stops over the summer but unless he isnt eligible I dont see how Hill doesn't start. 2. Defense will be a big topic in the fall and winter. I suspect Firman will bump down to close with Mullins and Young. That leaves McCartney at LSM. We will need to develop some depth there and or hope Tait and McDermott develop because they appeared to really struggle this year. Could this be the year Palasek breaks out? An unknown incoming transfer here wouldnt be surprising. SSDM needs a complete overhaul Jenkins is gone and Messina and Grimm really struggled for most of the year. They have Cifieri (spelling) but hes built like the two other guys. Need some guys 6 feet and taller with some size to be effective against ACC offesnses. Expect some new faces there. 3. Lots of options next year for the X including Demarco, Vaughn Harris (if he makes it here), and Max Parker from FL. To be honest I am way more concerned about the wing play then the actual X guy. there will be so much depth at the X itself someone will emerge. The wings need a total revamp. I would put Lecky out there probably with Firman. Hope we take a look at one or two of the incoming frosh as well, we need some new blood on the wings, what we have now isn't working. 4. Offense - Should be loaded to the brim with not only talent but stars. Rice (Sr), Staats (Sr) Donahue (Jr) and Dylan Maltz (Soph) at attack with Lecky (SR) Schoonie (SR) Galasso(SR) Evans (Soph) Westin (Soph) McGinley (redshirt Frosh) Forkin(True Frosh) Tim Barber (Juco All american) at Middie. The issue really is the same that we saw in the Bryant game, most of the skill sets those guys have are lacking in one area; long range shooting ability. McGinly or Barber may be able to add that skill set and Galasso with an injury free season under his belt may also be back 100% to his old self. Still if I were dekso I would work my ass off to get Walters and Dejoe ready to be the snipers for next year and to also start grooming a third guy as Walters will be a SR. Dejoe looked horrific against Bryant and Walters spent the game on the bench for some unknown reason. Also the entire team with maybe the exception of Dylan Donahue need to work on shot accuracy and shot placement, we struggled to get shots on cage against Bryant less picking corners or varying shooting angles ie high to low or low to high.
