John Grant definitely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. He was the best lacrosse player that University of Delaware has ever seen. He was the lead man in the amazing season that they had in 99, that ended in the Quarter finals. He has dominate the professional leagues for many years and is a great representative of Delaware Lacrosse.
Those young players will be a huge help for the wings and those other teams. I know that the are all really talented and have unlimited potential.
