| | Absolutely! Personally, I think that, if they did, they could become a very solid program. In fact, I think they could become just as good, if not BETTER, than Ohio State and Notre Dame, which are the two premier D1 programs in the Midwest. Why? Because Michigan has so much to offer for recruits.
1. a great school
2. a beautiful campus
3. a great college town
4. awesome facilities
Michigan High School Lacrosse is better than people think, and they have produced some players that have done great things. Brother Rice, probably the premier program, has had great teams, and produced such players as David Morrow, possibly the greatest player to ever come out of State of Michigan. He was the National Player of the Year his senior year at Princeton, and he founded Warrior. There are other schools, too, like Detroit Country Day and the Grosse Pointe schools, which produce talent. If Michigan had a D1 team, SO many of them would stay home and go to Michigan. I know that Michigan would also get great players from other Midwest States and from all over the country.
IMHO, Michigan is long overdue to go D1, and I am wondering if many people there don't realize how good they could actually be. Does anyone agree with me? |
