Yes, that was my biggest takeaway from the piece as well. He's listed as the team's "Breakout Candidate".    Good to see, I think he's been lost in the shuffle with all the transfers and freshmen. He's a very good player.  
Gait seems to be very high on the transfers, names Mark, Simmons and Kirst specifically.

[I]“Will Mark is looking great, and Alex Simmons is looking awesome and Cole Kirst,” Gait said. “They’re definitely guys who are in the mix to play this year."[/I]

Maybe just weird phrasing but I think it's almost guaranteed these three guys start.

Also has praise for Spallina (the choice for "Marquee Addition").

[I]“He’s got great lacrosse IQ,” Gait said. “Coach’s son. Understands the game. He’s up for the challenge. I think that’s the biggest thing. He’s open to do whatever we ask. [/I]

I guess I'm interested in what they are asking of him. Maybe some midfield? I would be kind of interested to see if they would run him through the box. Maybe not all the time but he did it some in the two summer All Star games and looked pretty good doing it. I know they are just exhibition games, but I do think he's quicker and stronger than most people give him credit for.
