I don't know if he grew up playing box lacrosse or not. Michigan has some areas with people pretty committed to the box game. But considering his age and not being Canadian, that's pretty good. It seems like we're seeing WAY more players reclass. So many are starting out at public schools, then going to private or prep schools and reclassing. In college hockey, players play in the junior leagues before going to US colleges, and are usually about 20 when they enter college. The logic behind this is that the rosters are smaller, there are fewer teams and so scholarship spots are limited. In lacrosse, it seems like we're heading in a similar direction, but the motivation must be different. [/QUOTE]
