Believe the UVA is at least a two deal. Not sure how Tills got the first home game. Will be interesting to the deal gets moved out to include another game since this year was cancelled

He deserves to be on the field, but we’re not talking about a full season of proven production yet, which Holden certainly has and you can say “it’s only in the NEC” if you like, but if you watched their game against Cuse this year I think you’d see the dude has the goods to play at that levelCooter wrote: ↑Thu May 07, 2020 12:03 pmKyle Long has shown he can do it at UMd's level, and is a pretty good dodger, whereas Holden has only done it in the NEC and looks more to be a right-hand finisher than a feeder.jrn19 wrote: ↑Thu May 07, 2020 11:24 am
I like Long a lot and he could certainly push for starting, but I don't know about seeing him start over Holden. You never know, but when you have an elite dodger in the way Holden is, you want that on the field and at attack. And considering Wisnauskas' passing ability and his vision, it's a better fit having a finisher in Maltz, X attackmen in Wisnauskas, and then a shooter and dodger in Holden.
If you play Wisnauskas at the X, it would be to get a lefty finisher on the field like N.DeMaio or Daniel Kelly.
Assuming Bernhardt doesn't return, I actually had Brown and Holden competing for a spot on the 1st midfield line in my post above.Parputt wrote: ↑Thu May 07, 2020 12:48 pm
Cant imagine 2 highly productive, high level, proven players with I'm sure many options are coming to compete for a spot on the 2nd line either. Don't think for a minute that Tills didn't layout a specific detailed plan that he sees for each player and how they fit and will be used in the offense and how they fit in the locker room.

uva had a tick higher home games than usual in 2020. including the 2 true home and homes loyola and princeton.
Tillman wanted the game to be the California game, the Pacific shootout, but Lars said no.

I think his production and dodging over the last two years really speaks for itself and shows that he's more than capable of it. I'd bet on them doing that more than I would them moving Bubba down to attack based on how they used him this year. I think if they wanted to move him down to attack then they maybe wouldn't have made these moves, an attack with Fairman-Maltz-Logan and then midfield with Brown-DeMaio-Long/Brennan or even the last three would have made a lot of sense. I'll echo what Cooter said as well in that based on the way Bubba was shooting at the end of the year being used the way Chanenchuk and Kelly was doesn't seem likely. But that's just IMO, we'll find out in the fall if there's fall ball and then next year what they plan on doing. Lot of options. I see it asWheels wrote: ↑Thu May 07, 2020 4:17 pm Logan has certainly improved his dodging over the past 3 years, but I don't see him at X taking on the opponent's best cover guy. Let him do what he does best: find space, shoot, and pick apart a defense's 2nd and 3rd slides with his passing. Let Bubba draw slides from below; let Holden draw slides from up top (I've seen enough of his highlight tape to see him beating LSMs up top to know that it's a thing he does).
Offense with 1st Midfield: A - Fairman, A - Maltz, A - Wisnauskas, M - DeMaio, M - Brown, M - Holden
Offense with 2nd Midfield: A - Long, A - Maltz, A - Wisnauskas, M - Brennan, M - Smith, M - Fairman
That's a pretty dynamic, balanced, and deep offense. You work in Malever, Koras, N. DeMaio, and Kelly where you can. Giving the keys to a freshman at the X attack spot isn't something I'd bet on seeing. Tills likes to get his uber-athletic freshman onto the field as midfielders before moving them to attack.

I think the freshmen's best bet is on man-up or maybe swapping in for someone if they need a breather for a shift or two. But again, maybe they breakthrough, they're super talented. As we've been saying, lot of options.
I don’t see Long on 2nd midfield. If you are not seeing Bubba staying on the field then it would be Long. He just sees the game so well.

It sort of makes one feel that Bernhardt might not be returning.
When Holden came out of high school he was legitimately the best player in Mass. I was shocked that he was headed to Hobart (no disrespect) thought for sure he’d play at a big time program. Think he may have been underrated since he was a public school kid. Definitely a natural attackman, but he has improved his game and is versatile could see him running out of the box.
No. A U. Texas guy. College was the best 1 year of his life. Just ribbing Md. it’s actually a compliment.
