As I noted in my previous response to your original post your comparing apples to oranges when looking at Cook vs Dordevic. Dordevic started at midfield and played that exclusively his entire frosh season. Cook was playing out of position on the 2nd line midfield for about 85% of the season. Its almost impossible to make a comparison between the two. Clearly at this point Dordevic has had more on field success and should be starting at some position coming the first game in February. Cook struggled down the stretch and did not look comfortable the last few game so the season That said people are forgetting that Dordevic also struggled down the stretch of his frosh season as he hit a bit of a wall. Now that he has missed an entire year being injured its going to take him sometime to get back up to speed.  Cook was moved to attack full time as soon as the season was over and the staff is extremely high on him. Dordevic will likely practice at both positions (assuming no other attackmen really flashes in the fall or pre-season) and should see time at both positions next season but I don't know if the staff will start him at attack over Cook when Cook is the natural attackmen and will be working their exclusively the entire fall while Tucker continues to rehab from injury.

As far as the midfield goes, the glut is going to be there regardless of whether Dordevic is playing attack or midfield. SU will have the ability to run three very talented midfield lines and should at minimum be running the 2nd line probably every 2nd possession. Trimbo/Curry/Buttermore and then Lipka/Magnan/Quinn/ plus who ever breaks out of the pack.
