The two hit to the head calls were horrific, the first was basically elbow to elbow and the second shoulder to shoulder. Very glad those didn’t decide the game. Man, Tigers are going to be a load the next few years. I would post this on UNC but don’t want to appear as though I’m trying a hot take when I really am not. Did anyone see much of Pietramala in high school? Is he still slowed from his injury? What was his game in high school? He looks like a big, slow guy with a big step down shot that he needs to be open for and like someone who bullied/backed down small Dmen in high school. I don’t see anything like a player who was ranked #1 or 2 in his class. I just saw this one game so a very harsh judgement but it wasn’t the lack of productivity but the apparent lack of quickness/movement to threaten a good D1 Dman. Anyway, amazing night of lax for the league.
Re: Pietremala. Definitely not the swiftest but has a cannon. He needs to be in the right system to excel, or he’ll force situations that he shouldn’t be in. That one school Boys Latin has produced Wisnauskas, Grimes, and Pietremala. Kind of similar players. Obviously Tillman got Wisnauskas in a system that was tailor made for him. Grimes looks better this year. I really don’t know enough about UNC to offer any advice other than figure out your optimal offensive system, then plug and play those players which give you the best result. Reading the UNC board makes me think that team lacks an offensive identity?
