Excellent.  At what point do we get the designation of "Attackman U?"

He's 6'4".  That's a little different from most of our previous attackmen (except Kirst).

Excellent. Difficult for poles to go over his head, Tall enough to see the field over the goaltender and cage when he's at X. Or can post him up 10 feet off the crease and send high feeds to drop down over the tender's shoulders.  Gotta muscle him up in the weight room.

I can see a lot of passes from X hitting him on the cut for a beautiful high-to-low shot,

The Columbia student newspaper has an article about how a group of alums want to upgrade the men's lacrosse program from the club level to the Division I level. However, it appears there are a lot of obstacles in the way, including Title IX regulations about having an equal number of male and female athletes. Since Columbia already has a women's lacrosse team, it would have to figure out another way to add a men's team sport with dozens of athletes. Of course, the current administration may do away with Title IX in its pursuit of eliminating anything that is linked to DEI.
In the meantime, the club lacrosse team shares a practice field with the women's ultimate frisbee team. "We're splitting the field for practices with girls' frisbee, and because of that it's always a safety hazard for them. It's also hindering on us."

Having a 2nd underachieving team in the League would really be a drag on our Strength of Schedule. Just sayin'.

But this is the path they have to follow. Back in the '70s, I played club lacrosse against Notre Dame. And look where they are now!

If it needs to be said, let's not do that to bears on campus. Very poor judgment.
