Which came first, the chicken or the egg?This year's men's lacrosse team poses a question parallel to that age-old one: which came first, the team's new aggressive offensive scheme or the freshmen who will be the first rookie Tigers to start playing in it?But the answer doesn't matter.All that does matter is that this year's contingent of freshmen fit into the scheme incredibly well in virtually every facet of the game.The freshman class features an impressive array of players that, perhaps a bit unusually, will help the Tigers not only in the years to come but are also certain to have a dramatic impact on this year's season .
