Ty drops new commit for 20s. D to Penn State. Flood gates opening for Fall Ball? Things drying up?
Another Penn State commit from the Rising Sons
The only Penn State players on the roster not reclassed are from LI, 20 yr old Freshman? 24 years old and still in college? Seems like this is the D1 norm
As much as I'm hater on this site regarding the 'abuse' by holdbacks of the grade based system in lacrosse, which I also think is ruining the youth game, this statement about D1 schools is absolutely true. Look at any 40 man roster of the big lacrosse schools our kids are striving for, and maybe only 4 or 5 are from public schools. The rest are prep school kids, who the majority are older and re-classifieds. It is the new norm. Like it, or not.
Several of the early commits attended public schools for 8 years and drank the kool aid that they had to attend private and did not repeat to do so.. Some had never set foot in their new private school prior to committing this past summer. They would not have had to dish out 25k year which some families are struggling to keep up with payments to end up at a school like Penn- Great school but they could have attended anyhow if they concentrated on grades and saved a lot of money and commuting time in the process. Several are also penn residents and were already going to receive in state tuition.
