Message: [QUOTE="Powellfan, post: 4344864, member: 4819"] I beleive both Ryan and Kyle are lefties, so they must be used to playing with other lefties. Not sure how their games are different but I bet there is a poster on the board who can shed some light how the two are similar, and how they are different. Ryan is a good deal bigger at 6-3 200, compared to 5-9 155 for Kyle. It does not look like Ryan will play right away for the Hoos as they have Cormier as the lefty attackman (and of course seem pretty set at that position regardless of which hand is dominant). Perhaps he is wiling to play midfield, though he probably won't start at that spot either as they have a leftie in McConvey and other returners. As mentioned previously the attack will probably be the same the following year (with increased competition from #1 recruit Millon). Perhaps he is willing to wait it out and compete for a midfield spot as a sophomore/redshirt freshman. I thought I had read that Ryan has been a lifelong Virginia fan and he had his heart set there for a while. I don't know if the same holds true for his younger brother. As for Kyle, Cormier should be gone by the time he shows up as a freshman. He and his brother should have an upper hand for his spot given that they are natural lefties, but they would be competing for that spot with Millon, and Dunkel. Its not impossible for three righties to play on attack, I beleive Danny Gladding, Garrett Billings and Steele Stanwick were all righties and played on the same line for UVA years ago. Perhaps they move Schutz back to midfield, but it would still be a tough spot to break into. UVA has become the purveyors of "position-less" lacrosse, so perhaps they are both happy to play midfield. For as much hype as the UVA attack is getting, outside of Terenzi there aren't many high end midfielders coming in the next few years. If Kyle were to consider Syracuse, Hiltz would be a senior his freshman year on the Hill. As lefties, Michael Leo would be a junior and Trey Deere would be a sophomore. Again, predicting future lineups can be completely futile since you never know with injuries or transfers or other sorts of mitigating circumstances. Seems SU would be a better situation for him but its not a given either. [/QUOTE]
