To me the Rhefuss thing is the biggest question for next year's team.  Obviously it would simplify things if chose not to return, Hiltz easily slides into the left haded role of the offense and things go as planned (at least I have to imagine this was the plan). But I do think there is an opportunity here - there is nothing that says the offense next year can't be Hiltz, Rhefuss and Scanlan on attack, that gives you two lefties and a righty on attack, which I think is doable.

I haven't seen enough film on Hiltz to be anywhere near an expert, but my understanding at least is that he operates mostly from the lefty wing - Rhefuss is very comfortable operating from behind the cage.  Obviously this might make things awkward for Griffin Cook, and I don't want to diminish his contributions, but if Hiltz is the player we think/hope he is, he should be able to beat him out.  Just have to hope that Desko plays the best player and doesn't get cute with roster management/trying to make everyone happy.  I too am worried about a second Wisnauskus, but the future Maryland transfer wasn't as highly rated as Hiltz is, and have to hope the staff learned from that error. Anyways this seems like a good problem to have and bodes well for the teams prospects next year.

FWIW it looks like there were new highlights added to Hiltz's Hudl page. Again, it doesn't look like he plays behind the net much at all.
