The top tier includes Crogan, Gregorek, Hobot and McCleary.

A couple of sophomores have stepped up including Sorichetti, Rawson, Chick and Martin. Of course, Kilrain, Ayers and Chauvette have built on their freshmen success.

No Iler sighting. He must be hurt.

Thanks once again for the great video work HOB!!
I know this is a tall task fraught with uncertainty, but if you had to pick a starting lineup for the Spring based on what you've seen so far in Fallball, what would it be?
Who have you been most impressed by?

Hoponboard wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2024 6:34 pm Goalie: Staudt because he has the experience. He played better against NJIT. Versus Air Force, he let in a few easy ones, but his defense didn’t play especially well. I would like to see more of Webb vs. Delaware.

FO: Solid unit. Callahan starts. Didn’t see McKee. Hobot rotates in at some point.

Attack: Ayers can create his own shot, but is he a skilled feeder? Jury is out. As others have said, Chauvette has added a feeding component to his game, but entirely dependent on his left hand for shooting. Not a bad thing since he has a quick release and is deadly from distance. Melendez is moving well and his shotmaking is unpredictable. I expect a bounce back season from him.

First midfield: English is moving freely. Expect to see more playmaking from him. Collison is a known quantity—worth 25 to 30 goals a season. Bauer has looked very good. Probably a better passer than Ayers. Could see the two flipping positions within games.

Second midfield: Things get interesting here. Evans and Phillips are not enough of scoring threats to play much on this line. Crogan has earned a spot because he can blister the corner from distance as well as finish inside. Plus, Sean may be the quickest player on the team. Can beat his man on the dodge. I expect to see Hackler with Chick spelling him. I like McCleary for the third spot because he has size and athleticism to make defenders move.

Third midfield: Evans, Phillips, Gregorek, Monfort or Sorichetti would be my choices here—if they choose to run a third line.

Close defense: Smith, Deans and Kilrain. Backups would be Brown and Todaro.

SS: Hackler, Monfort, Martin, Eye and DiCicco.

The overall lineup would be very competitive.

Moving Deans to close is interesting since he has been so good in the middle of the field. Maybe a vote-of-confidence for Eye at LSM?
