[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There' s going to be at least 3 ssdm's on the all IAC team. Since when do the players who aren't good enough to shoot, pass or carry get so much shine. Any one of the halfway decent middies in the conference are better than almost every single d mid.

This might be the worst take on a thread full of bad takes. Congratulations, I guess?

SSDMs are critical positions because they are so regularly challenged by opposing offenses. Many "halfway decent middies" aren't nearly athletic enough to be reliable, much less all-league caliber, SSDMs. In most games, SSDMs face more opposing dodgers than close defensemen or LSMs.

Every coach of the IAC and WCAC teams would take an all-league caliber athlete at SSDM above several "halfway decent middies" because of how important the position is, and they might well take a premier SSDM over a premier #1 or #2 close defensemen.

The #1 draft pick in the PLL this year was a SSDM - maybe the Archers should have taken a halfway decent O midi instead?[/quote]

LOL. The GP kid literally was told he wasn't going to see the field unless he switched to dmid. I'll take 55, 9, 22 and 99 over any d mid in the league on every single shift. 
BTW - the PLL doesn't take who is best, they take players who they think will play a few years because their outside earning potential won't have them quit the league right away. [/quote]

Hey prep Homer, you sound beyond delusional.

55 for prep is too slow to play d middie. He is a kicker in football who is doing a PG year - he is not even D1 lax player.

99 is built like a bird, not strong enough and would get run over by a bigger more physical offensive middie. He is good HS attackman and is exceptional off-ball

The best player in the IAC this spring is the Wade boy from Bullis. He is a lockdown SSDM and I anticipate we will be hearing his name at the collegiate ranks next year at Navy.

And yes go ask any collegiate coach. They will tell you the most important position on the field is the SSDM.

Wade was great, but I actually thought there were gsmes whete he wasn’t even the best Dmid on his own team. The Hampton DMid at Bullis was nasty.[/quote]
