Gerald Ford's grandson commits to M lacrosse

Submitted by laxalum on October 14th, 2013 at 10:26 PM

This is pretty cool. Straight from former MGoBlogger Tim's website. Christian Ford, grandson of Gerald Ford, has committed to the lacrosse team. Looks like he's very good too. Link: http://www.greatlaxstate.com/2013/lax-links-oct-14-2013 I wonder if he'll wear #48.

What should I title my threads?

Please make your thread titles as informative as possible: "Justin Feagin" is bad. "Justin Feagin leaving the team?" is good.

By the way, where did the HTML primer go?

Wow, and he's really good too. #12 player in the country. Picked us over some of the top schools for lax.

We need his bloodline. Forget lacrosse, kid; we're teaching you how to snap to shotgun and execute reach blocks. Hope you're a quick learner.

Soon is probably a stretch, depending on your definition of the word. My guess is they win a handful of games this year (2014) (as opposed to one last year) and go .500 or so in 2015. After that we should see a steady ascent to being a good-to-great program. It will be a while before we're competing with the top top schools (Hopkins, Maryland, ACC schools) but we should be in that next group within 4-5 years I think. The first year we'll be excitingly good is 2016, the year our frosh from last year are seniors.

Well, based on ages either was is feasible. Jerry's sons were born in 50, 52 and 56. If it's a grandson, then his first son would have had to have a so in his early to mid 20s and that son to do the same, but that's reasonable. The other possibility is if Jerry's youngest son Steven had Christian when he was 42ish. Also reasonable.

This is a huge get for JP. In 2016 JP has 2 of the top 12 recruits locked up. One attack and one middie. Generally those top 10-ish kids only go to ACC schools, and for JP to get 2 in one year, for a team that only has 2 wins ever is huge. It'll probably be 2018 or so before these top kids really have a shot at reaching their potential (which seems like forever), but I'm excited already.
