Message: [QUOTE="JeremyCuse, post: 238184, member: 43"] The offense hasnt been the patented SU offense in several years so Quint is a couple years late with that assessement. Unfortunately for us and Coach Desko SU has been hit hard with upper level recruits some of that top 100 who have not panned out at all. Coleman and Ianzito have been complete busts up to this point and unfortunately you would have to lump Barber in there as well. Powderly so far has been MIA and I have no idea where Grimm even is. SU has also lost several players to transfer and Cathers no showing was a huge blow. Whats also hurt SU is that we havent been landing those stud offensive players we used to get in handfuls in the 90's early 200's in quite sometime. Desko and company have done a tremendous job of turning 3 and 4 star players into 5 star studs the past few years but not getting the Ranagans, Pannells, Stanwicks, etc etc have caught up a bit with this offense. Dont get me wrong Derek Maltz, Schoonmaker, and a few others have looked promising but with a young D and a goalie situation in trouble we need more from this offense. The good news is that we have some big time players coming in over the next few years including Maltz's brother Dylan and a few other highly touted local prospects. In the meantime we may need to mine OCC more, we have gotten away from taking multiple kids from there each year and should be hitting that harder. I would also like to see Desko run the young guys more,we have seen enough of Barber, Ianzito, Coleman, and even Eilers who are just to inconsistent this far into there careers. Coach seems a bit reluctant to run the freshman the past few years at this point getting Rice , Dejohn and others some time is probably a good idea. Not sure where the O firepower is gonna come from this year if Marrasco, Lecky, and a few Freshmen dont break out soon. [/QUOTE]
