Message: [QUOTE="GrowTheGame, post: 5746685, member: 9306"] To offer a second opinion, I do think they have some like-for-like contributors with others prepared and talented to then step-up next season that aren't getting burn right now. 1. Spallina - A almost impossible task to replace any 22 in the record books, but I'd say we still have players who can take that right side over with high efficiency such as: Krafston/Jake Meyer/Rayfield (wild card). The now veteran Krafston has the tools and confidence to be a good ACC level trigger for drawing slides to feed/shoot effectively on the islands. Meyer has a year under his belt now and already had ACC size (6'2"/204lb). He is as a Team USA u18 brogden cup champion with O'Farrell who scored and assisted at will in HS, could he be a dark horse candidate? Of course there is also highly rated Rayfield who is lighting fast, a gritty hockey player, and is working weekly with Platform Lacrosse + S&C coaches to reach his highest potential. After being coached by the Donahues for years now you never know what you will get with him immediately for impact given his high level coaching/IQ/Character. 2. Leo - Anderson is pretty much the same player with different preferred attacking angles, but also I think Peck can potentially fill a Hiltz role if we go back to putting the shooter there. 3. Thomson - Deere is the obvious replacement if he's back, but I think you also have prospects in Rawson/O'Farrell who have showcased elite inside abilities. 4. Rhoa - Hottle/Hahn/McGintee already can give you the same looks created by Rhoa imo. Again Rayfield could also fill in here too from what I've seen of him playing. I'm extremely interested if freshman Harry Schneidwin or Parker Prater can come in and contribute right away as well. Harry, to my understanding, is Hahn 2.0 which would be great given Bogue's impact this year in big games (another documented high character kid too). Parker Prater is the most intriguing to me though given he didn't get a ton of love from the traditional recruiting outlets. I think he could be a diamond in the rough as he is a two-way high motor Culver middie who has ACC size and a great step down. Being in a military prep school is already drilling in amazing habits for him too, which can translate into earlier success. I also want to point out that OCC has a few high potential players and ranked #1 right now nationally to potentially be excited about. Trysen Sunday and Davin Bomberry are intriguing if the academics/interest to transfer in are there. Sunday (5'11"/185lb) has 31 goals/19 assists (50pts) in 8 games, and those are numbers put up against 4 of the top 5 JUCO teams. Bomberry (6'4"/205lb) has 28 goals/18 assists in 6 games, and to confirm he did produce those numbers in the games versus the top 4 JUCO teams as well. The best signals for this pair on the stat sheet though? Sunday finishes the ball at .500% and has 4 TOs on the season so far, while Bomberry is finishing at a stunning .903% with only 5 TOs too. Will we see either in Orange and can they continue the OCC->Cuse pipeline legacy? [/QUOTE]
