When men’s lacrosse head coach Joe Amplo is recruiting players, he looks for physical and mental toughness, the sign of a player that has something to prove.
“I won’t recruit a kid that doesn’t have that burning desire to prove himself,” Amplo said.
Nick Singleton had that desire, but Marquette was no longer recruiting him. Marquette initially looked at Singleton early in his high school career, but by his senior year at Wheaton North High School in Wheaton, Illinois, the Golden Eagles already filled their roster for the following season.
