| | The reason Gill isn't producing as much as last year is because, for the first time, he's drawing the #1 defender. As a frosh, Tucker drew the top pole. Then, as a soph, McKnight got the top d-man. This is the first time Gill is the #1 threat. Of course, Gill still is a tremendous player. Still being able to score a couple of points a game isn't that bad considering he gets the #1 pole and the slides keyed on him. Also, having such an inexperienced team around him doesn't help either. UVa was hurt the most by graduation, in my opinion. Jalbert was and incredible playmaker. His presence opened up the field for the attakmen like McKnight and Gill to shine. A loss like that is devastating. Granted, Gill still should step up and try and be a leader on this team. The Hoos can't rely on these underclassmen to get them out of a jam. They haven't had much experience and need to become consistent. |
