Wake up people stop just putting $$ in her pocket out of two gold teams there are about 7 commits out of about 50 kids....really sad
I am NOT A FAN however be fair, there will be a place for every single one of these players to play in college if they want. Might be a low ranked small low level D1 school. Or a D2 school with a $2,500 scholorship or a D3 team. But maybe just maybe, some kids have not settled and are going to a better academic school and leaving lacrosse behind rather then go to the ACME college just to say the played college lacrosse.


Well said. Go to the best academic school and play lacrosse. several pages back there is a discussion about playing for a lesser D1 school with terrible academics versus getting into a great school in D3. Sure there is money to be had at D1 and you can look back at some of the D1 schools and laugh at the tuition versus the school. Bottom line is after four years of school lacrosse is over and life begins; a school with better academics and a strong alumni is going to be more important.


How about going to the school where the kid would have the best experience and therefore be the happiest, which may not be the best lax school or the best academic school.
