You may be right, but conclusions like these are often fraught with errors. I have made such mistakes in the past, which makes me cautious. This year the evaluation of freshmen is even more clouded by their not having played their senior years in high school.

(For example, Patrick Spencer was #26 in the 2014 IL rising senior rankings and then #6 in the 2015 IL Power freshmen ranking.)

Last year, the #1 freshman Shellenberger red-shirted. Certainly the #3 ranked freshman Dyson Williams did well, but so did the #23 ranked freshman Josh Zawada. ( Of course, Danny Maltz, who wasn't even top 100, started at attack for the Terps.)

I don't see why I should receive such contumely, for picking a 5-star recruit, a UA AA selection, an MIAA US HS AA as a junior, a player who has played midfield for a midfield slot, and had good size and weight (6'0", 185).

I do think it is likely that Tillman will go with experience early in the season, but I think a player like Koras could bubble up as the season goes on. I have watched Koras' junior season highlights:

along with several full MIAA games with him in them on youtube.
