He pretty much dominates from midrange on the left wing. Not just a step-down shooter, but a little bit of a jitterbug. He's able to create his own shot on a dodge or waltz through small gaps in a defense with his deceptive quickness.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["16415"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eAlmost the complete package for a pole: great athlete, great mechanics, and fundamentals. He's a force to be reckoned with on ground ball scrums, and he's pretty good at putting the ball on the ground in the first place. At the start of one game at NAL, coming off the the face-off wing, he immediately dislodged the ball from an opponent with an over-the-head check and came away with the eventual groundball.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["16417"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eA recent verbal to Lafayette, Volfson immediately stands out with his 6-foot-3 frame, 210-pound frame. His play stands out too, being a physical and confident dodger as a midfielder. At one game at NLF, he bulldodged into a defender and finished overhanded from midrange. It's not all power though, as he's able to draw double teams and immediately feed or get a scoring opportunity in motion.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["16419"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eFalkiewicz really impresses with his vision, and it's very hard to come by midfielders that that are feed-first these days. He fits that bill very well, being very unselfish and looking to create plays for his teammates while utilizing his ideal size and athleticism. Some of his assists are just beauties as well. In one game at NAL, he timed a feed perfectly, connecting from the top of the box to a cutter on the crease with a pinpoint pass that left the defense completely flat-footed.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["16411"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eGreat length and quick feet make his fundamentals very sound. Saw him execute a couple of lovely takeaway checks in games at NLF. He covers ground very quickly, making up space against quick defenders and allowing him to be more aggressive in man-to-man defense. His stickwork is also very strong, which makes him reliable in transition and in the clearing game.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-657cfab19b9ce"} /-->
