She is a good coach, Their players stick skills are lacking, The next few years worth of recruits will get them back to the Top of the Colonial

It's interesting to me that you all feel that playing D1 women's lax is such a burden . I say this because my oldest is a sophomore at a top 10 D1 lax program and does not indicate it being overwhelming . I have never pushed her to play ( have always pushed her to well in all she does ) and have always said grades come first and if lax becomes too much just quit. They do miss classes for travel but the time spent practicing , running , lifting in season is not much greater than in high school if at all. Definitely some social sacrifices made if your kid is a big party / drinking kid but they do have some fun . I guess the kids at that HS lifted in the morning practiced and watched film in a single day? Wow you guys must of been really good and I think all parents say grades come first never heard a pà rent say do great in LAX the grades will come. I guess you never played bà ck in the day so you really don't understand how practice was back then compared to today's routine.

She is a good coach, Their players stick skills are lacking, The next few years worth of recruits will get them back to the Top of the Colonial That's what you said about the current group of recruits 3-4 years ago. the reality is the best team she had at Hofstra was the one handed to her, that would be a roster of players that somebody else recruited, not hers, she can't evaluate talent and on the rare occasion when she does she has no chance of recruiting them, who would want to play there?

She is also not checking her incoming recruits academic eligibility...wonder how administrators will feel about that

My kid plays at a perennial top 10 D1 lax program . In season they rarely lift and yes watch about an hour of film per game played . You may want it to be otherwise but other than travel time they do not put in more that 2.5 hrs a day toward lax like she did in high school . Exactly how much time is your daughter devoting to lax , it sounds like that's all she does .

Best case scenario is middle of the pack in the CAA (a fairly weak conference) for the foreseeable future, won't sniff a tournament bid anytime soon

Towson, JMU, Elon at the top. Delaware gave SBU all they could handle last year. Drexel and Wm Mary aren't terrible teams either. If Hofstra can be competitive and make the CAA playoffs, that would be a step in the right direction.

I'm watching some of the Stony Brook-Johns Hopkins game. Not many people there. It's hard to tell exactly, but it looks like less than 100? I've been to Homewood Field many times, and I can tell you that the stands are mostly empty. Probably all parents. I thought SB was a HUGE draw. Guess I was wrong.

Stony Brook will choke when they play top tier, remember the Florida game? They better hope they don't see Maryland!

No. Why would I? Not a fan of either team, especially SB.

Definitely some social sacrifices made if your kid is a big party / drinking kid but they do have some fun . Only 52% of D1 student/athletes play the full four years over the last ten years. I have been following the 2013 class and it is at 53% (part of a study for USA Lacrosse). The overwhelming reason is that the lax practice, travel and playing is a burden on the student's grades, social life and well being (a distant second is injury). This issue, along with early recruiting practices, is a major concern.

This issue, along with early recruiting practices, is a major concern. i am surprised that it is even that high . I wonder how much actual playing time impacts that number . I would think lack of playing time may be the biggest issue which is something that many of the athletes are hesitant to indicate as their primary reason causing them to stop playing .

This issue, along with early recruiting practices, is a major concern. The issue is the kids are weak or lazy or both. They can't get anything done because mom or dad isn't there to keep pushing them. Or worse, mom and dad are still there doing it. I personally know a D1 soccer player who stopped playing after 2 years because of the workload. She works in a deli and makes a great sandwich. I really like her.

All three of my kids played D1, only one in lacrosse, and that was what I saw as well across sports.

I don't expect much of a change because in the past there is not much fall off from junior to senior year (I am referring to my 2013 class).

Many kids don't love practicing 35 hours a week especially when many have gone from the best players on their club or school teams to players that barely get off the bench if ever in college. When they hit the turn going into JR year many choose internships and just to enjoy everything college has to offer the last two years without the rigors of a fulltime lax job. We can all fool ourselves but if you don't think some of these kids are playing just because mom and dad have always pushed it you are being naive and when they reach 20 years of age many are now mature enough to push back on mom and dad and tell them they are done. That's why only 50% play all four years.

Nobody cares about woman's professional league, You will be sitting with 10 others if they come to LI, all parents of the players trying to relive an irrelevant college sport.

Is Gait still commish? Seems fishy that CR gets the gig and fires SS who won the championship last year. From the outside looking in it just seems that their petty BS continues. Thorpe works for Gait. Seems the backroom BS deals continue. Between directors running tournaments, clubs, training, camps and recruiting there is real stank on the process and the system
