I wonder about the practice of moving freshmen attacks to middle.  Ferris and Cook looked lost in their first years, I believe, because the middle position demands significantly different skills.  In his high school videos Ferris showed he could move to either side from x and shoot with either hand.  He seemed to me one of the few natural x attacks to come to SU in recent years.  I think the move to middie set Cook back and should have been scrapped much sooner.

Last season, the very good first middie line ran into good teams that schemed to handcuff it from Army on throughout the season.  I think they played better in games where the team had at least half the possessions.  In blowouts, they could not use the momentum gained in games where there were enough possessions to overwhelm teams in the second half they way they had the previous season.

I would like to see SU put Ferris back at x attack and give him as much experience as possible in the fall.  I have no idea who should be the starting x attack, not a clue.  Tenaglia was very impressive in his first year at Furman, so I'd give him every chance at the position.  Corsi is stud, strong enough to play almost any offensive position.  Let's give him a shot.  For me the key is the FOGO.  Without a capable consistent 50% er, it is not going to matter who plays at the x.
