Re: IL Mid-season AA 2022
Most of these ratings look spot on to me except one. The Dartmouth goalie Daniel Hincks should absolutely be higher than honorable mention.

I didn't see the final stats, and not saying he's not an excellent goalie, but Harvard did put up 19 goals on Dartmouth last week.joewillie78 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 3:30 pm Most of these ratings look spot on to me except one.

Re: IL Mid-season AA 2022
Midfielders at attack. O-Mids at D-Mid. Standard stuff from IL.
It is mostly a good list tbf, but when you're THE outlet for the sport mistakes matter. The same as when Carc and Quint do their thing on TV. You guys are THE broadcast most weeks, what you say carries weight.

Re: IL Mid-season AA 2022
I know that Hanley was playing attack for the first game or so, but the last time I saw him play, he was playing midfield. He was in for every offensive possession, but he did leave the field when Penn was on d and entered through the box when they had the ball on o. He was used, in my view, more like Cowley was at Stony Brook tha the was Kelly was at Maryland.
Re: IL Mid-season AA 2022
Am I to believe Matt Moore is not one of the top 16 attack-men in the country? Obviously these rankings don't mean much but I'm all for spirited debate
Re: IL Mid-season AA 2022
If you play every offensive possession you should be considered an attackman for AA purposes. These things are primarily a statistical/production comparison so voters should be aiming to group players by similar amount of offensive opportunity. If you watch the games, that isn't hard. If you don't, which seems to be the case for a lot of media voters, then it becomes more difficult. For instance, I saw that Travis from LSN voted for Dordevic as a first-team midfielder. He's having an AA caliber season — at attack, not midfield. Cuse hasn't even tried to pretend that he's a middie this year like Maryland did for Kelly in 2018. He's playing attack. The fact that a media voter and Syracuse alum could get that so obviously incorrect is an apt encapsulation for how knowledgable these guys are on the whole.

Re: IL Mid-season AA 2022
Moore absolutely has not been a top 16 attack man. He's had that type of career and has AA talent, but the production does not warrant AA consideration at this point (likely due to nagging injuries). He's on a great offense and draws the second pole, and yet still isn't in the top 30 in PPG.
As for the attack/middie debate, I think an argument can be made that a player warrants midfield consideration even if he plays every possession so long as he is operating up top like a midfielder; even in this era of increasingly position less lacrosse, I think there are nuances in how an attack man operates vs a middle that are also borne out in stats. That isn't the case with Dordevic however, as he has been initiating mostly from behind and from the low wing.

Re: IL Mid-season AA 2022
Interesting, with way more Div. 1 teams playing now, when I was in high school there were like 11 or 12 goalies on the AA list. Keeping the numbers at 8 or 9, even with so many more teams in Div. I, seems in line with the honor that it is.AreaLax wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 2:20 pm First Team

Also, how possible is it that someone could be a FIVE time all american, due to covid extra year? #1 for UVA is a perfect example.

Re: IL Mid-season AA 2022
For me offenses are way too fluid to try and distinguish that way. Not to mention how much lacrosse you'd have to watch to actually do it. I think the only real distinguishing factor is coming off the field and how that impacts what you have to do in transition and on clears. So for me that is what needs to be taken into account.random observer wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 4:55 pmMoore absolutely has not been a top 16 attack man.

You could also just make it 6 offensive players but then I think you're only keeping Handley in the first team and he's also played a decent amount of attack anyway. So you just wipe a whole group of players off the teams and unless you're intending to argue that the job is exactly the same, and someone probably will, I don't think you should do that.

It's unbelievable this happens. He shouldn't get a vote for the poll or for this in my opinion. Just watch the games, it's not that hard!

Re: IL Mid-season AA 2022
On if the guy plays attack or middie, it's pretty simple to me. If you're consistently staying on the offensive side of the field and one of the 3 guys on the finishing end of fast breaks, you're playing attack. If not, you're playing middie, even if you're in on every offensive possession and dodging from behind the cage or the wings.TheBigIguana wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 5:17 pmFor me offenses are way too fluid to try and distinguish that way.

Re: IL Mid-season AA 2022
Dordevic, Eric Peters, and CJ Kirst need to be higher. Myers needs to be lower. I think Nichtern and Skalniak could both be first teamers, but not sure who swaps out.
Kavanagh is only an HM, and yet he still seems overrated. The guy shoots 24%, and has shot worse every year. Maybe he’ll move to SSDM like Fairman did.
How the heck did Piatelli not make the list at all? I think Khan on the strength of his really good games should be on the list as well.

Re: IL Mid-season AA 2022
If UVA makes it to the final four, it will in all likelihood be because Moore will have played at an AA level for the second half of the season. An injury has caused him to miss some time and has probably affected his performance when he has been playing.
