Message: [QUOTE="Powellfan, post: 2992606, member: 4819"] I've given this a lot of thought and I think, if none of the underclassmen make a big leap by next season, Dordevic should be moved to attack. I agree with those who say that Curry, given his speed is better utilized at midfield. I think he could be a very good attackmen, but I think he will become a great midfielder, and I don't think it is worth moving him. I think Dordevic, given his role-back move, his physicality and heavy shot would make for a really good attackmen. Plus, like Ohiomilax his injury history makes me worry. Having him not run up and down the field playing defense might keep him healthier. I don't share Ohiomi's concern about Dordevic "losing a step", everything I have read about the kid shows he is one of the most determined lacrosse players out there, whether it's getting healthy or battling learning disabilities. I think he's going to come back better than ever next year. That said, protecting him a little bit by limiting the all out running he does might be helpful. Now, this is certainly not a rock solid solution. This gives the attack three pretty dominant dodgers, and while Rhefuss has been shoe-horned into the QB of the unit, it hasn't always gone according to plan. Also Cook strikes me as more of a scorer than a QB and probably more naturally slides into Solomon's role. A finisher type for this unit, or an actual QB would more welcomed than a playmaker, but I think this lineup would get the most talent on the field. As for the youngsters who might slide into a starting role, I am intrigued by Donnely - IMG stats are hard to find but he looks to fit the definition of a finisher, can also dodge and he has good size at 6'2. Also feels like he has been playing big minutes for them for a while now. Ultimately it will come down to who has improved in the off season - if none of the attackmen have progressed to Desko's liking (and I haven't given up on Seebold, or Berkman) then Desko might need to move a midfielder and I think Dordevic has the best qualities.
