I also agree that getting transfers in is a band-aid fix to a real issue that the program has of late, recruiting. Instead of saying "Come play here, we will let your wear #22" the staff should recognize that this young man has ambitions outside of lacrosse "Get a great education, wear #22 and let your voice be heard on and off the field." How many kids grew up wearing #23 because of Jordan and look what it created? The same could be said about #22 in our sport; how many kids watched the Powells, the Gaits, etc and got into this sport because of them? That's the value of #22, the exposure it brings - combine that with Chase's ambitions and the explosion of social media, seems to be a match made in heaven. [/QUOTE]
