You are correct. There are always kids out there that aren’t ranked that should be. And yes they can totally be recruited by top teams. Happens all the time.

FYI. Ty Xander missed the majority of the D1 commits for the first phase this past year. Once that first recruiting phase ended, he ranked almost all of the D1 commits, that he didn’t give 4 stars to, he gave almost all of them 3 stars. He totally missed all of the 3 Star kids. But he figured if top D1 coaches like these players, then he doesn’t want to look completely incompetent when these players turn up as big time players in college. He’s covering his [Censored].

The key is, players have to be seen by coaches to get recruited. If a player is on a bad club team or a subpar brand, then he needs to go to showcases to be seen. If he can get to one of the big 3 showcases (Mainstage, Showtime, Juniors) that is absolutely huge! It’s a chance at an even playing field alongside the best players in the nation. Go!!! Do good things in any one of those showcases and you have a serious shot at playing big time D1 lacrosse in college, at a significant discount.
