I can see the living room conversation with the college coach already: "Here's a picture of my son on the sidelines. Here's another one of him on the sidelines, but you can see he's holding the stick in his left hand. And here he is on he sidelines pointing to the open man. You've heard of Johnny X, the top scorer, right? Well my son often passes him the ball in practice. Did I mention already that he's been in 8 tournaments and won 7?"


This is no different than what 91 did as well. There were plenty of kids holding down the bench. Even now with their low numbers, the mule will only play 15 at most.
