Being a great Lacrosse player in 8th grade is one thing, but there are several other factors that go into a kid playing at the next level. The Elephant in the room that nooone wants to talk about is the kids grades. Its all well and good that you are a great lacrosse player, but if you dont have the grades, good luck with that. The Turtles are a great 2017 team and probably the best in the country at the age group, but at some point they are going to have to stand on their own as individuals when it comes to playing at the next level. I have no doubt that many of those kids will end up playing college lacrosse, but lets slow down here, they havent even gotten into high school yet. Lots of things can happen between now and 10th grade.
100% correct.
Is that why colleges are verbally committing to kids in 9th?
Its been like 5 kids so far and they are all from big time prep schools.
from areas that don't have lacrosse in public schools. Doesn't really matter, just making light of the 8th grade 10th grade mention and figured why leave the 9th grade out.
