M Lacrosse: Kyle Jackson named ECAC Rookie of the Week

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

For the third time in program history, Michigan has an ECAC Rookie of the Week.

This week it is attackman Kyle Jackson. Jackson set a program single game record for assists with 4 last Wednesday against High Point. Jackson had 8 points this week with 3 goals and 5 assists in both of Michigan's games.

This week, Michigan will go on the road to Fairfield, CT for the first time ever to play conference opponent Fairfield. Then, for all the NY area alums, Michigan will be heading over to Citi Field, the house that Wilpon built to play colgate.

The game will be Sunday at 3pm broadcast live on 3pm. However, hopefully there is a basketball game envolving Michigan during that lacrosse game if you know what I mean.

I'm pretty excited to see him develop once he gets some more talent around him. Watching the inter squad scrimmage last fall it looked like he was easily te teams best feeder.

Good. Looks like we are starting freshmen all over the place, makes me hopeful for the future of this program. Inside Lax listed us as having a top 20 recruiting class this season, and with a brand new facility and stadium, combined with all else UM has to offer, I see us reaching the big time within 6-8 years. It's going to be a frustrating couple years until the overall talent level gets even, but if we can pull a top-20 class with no facilities, I think we have a bright future.

I get to see the boys live this weekend!  Can't wait.  There's going to be a HUGE Michigan contingent there.

So many freshmen playing right now.  That was expected.  I too am encouraged by what we're seeing.  Jackson, Hernandez, Logan, Kraus, Lott, Keady, Brown, Joseph, Moore, Kinek all seem to be getting a lot of time.  All freshmen.  Gaughan came in maybe the most hyped of all of them, and he hasn't even played yet because of injuries.  Keep in mind that JP put this class together very late, pretty much after everyone else was done, and still found a lot of talent.  The next couple of classes should get progressively better.  Once we get facilities, look out.  The wins are probably still a year or two away, and a great team is probably closer to 5-8 years away, but it's coming.  By the time this freshman class are seniors, the program will look completely different.
