VIRGINIA LACROSSE 2020

[oldbartman]

From what I've watched, both Cormier and Bertrand are oters first and foremost. At Merrimack, he had the ball in his stick a lot. It will be interesting to see how those 2 work together.

[10stone5]

The attack of Moore, Laviano, and Cormier does look pretty strong. I guess Shellenberger backs up the 2 righties, and both McIntosh and Maher are lefties to back up Cormier. The midfield is more of a question mark, especially if Aitken doesn't return.

If the rumors are true, where does Charlie Bertrand fit in on this attack? From what I recall he is a lefty attackman. He is not transferring in for one year to not play. Any ideas?

What is Lars thinking? He's got one of the best attack units in the game and the #1 recruit from 2019 (Shellenberger) redshirting last year to get a shot this coming year. Really weird transfer, if true. Maybe Moore goes back to midfield and they run two lefties out on attack?

Doubt you move Moore from attack now. Seems more likely to me either Cormier or Bertrand play midfield.

Moore really is that good.
155 points, good production, Tiffany said of Moore,
“The question of whether he should serve as a midfielder or attackman no longer lingers after the spring of 2019”

Frank Urso called Moore the best player he’s coached, not sure if that means just Garnet Valley, or club as well.

I agree with Cooter ... transfers have to earn playing time, nothing will be guaranteed.

[Henpecked]

Say what you want, Lars didn't invite Bertrand to Charlottesville as a fifth year to hand out water. No chance he doesn't play.

[bauer4429]

I certainly wish all the transfers well but the fact is there will be larger rosters. Coaches will want to see how they perform before making lineup changes. Just a reality.

Agree......Shellenberger can play midfield as well and did so on occasion When his high school team needed to get the ball back on offense. It wouldn’t shock me to see Shellenberger, with his speed and acceleration, playing on the same midfield line with Cormier. They both bring different skill sets to the table. Shellenberger is more than capable of initiating the offense from up top or anywhere on the field.

could be a lot of fun to watch!

A transfer from Merrimack to Virginia, like a naval vessel during the Civil War.

my point is you're not alone. i think he's made as many as 3 or 4 threads and he's probably eating potato chips and playing xbox right now.

Rice chips are better! Nothing like wild speculation. I remember reading threads about all the soccer clubs my son was joining.

[Cooter]

Dox Aitken is apparently returning for his extra season to UVa.
A big pick-up for the Wahoos as it keeps their midfield strong.

[tech37]

Does anyone have info on why Bertrand chose UVa? A Mech Engineering major...does UVa have a strong engineering program? I understand wanting to play for an obvious winner and to play in a warmer climate...no brainers. But unless he's running midfield at UVa I don't see the PT.

Think it's pretty likely that he's going to be starting at attack
