Every time players are ranked by Inside Lacrosse or selected to an all-star team the jealous parents go on the attack. They call the IL rankings a joke, they say that Under Armour is political and they try to knock the players and diminish the honor.

Every year it looks like 90% of the players who are ranked in the Top 40 and who are named UA All-Americans go to the Top 10 - 15 college programs. These programs appear to be the best every year. The same programs consistently outperform the other 100 or so programs. If the accolades are a joke and political why do college coaches from the best programs seem to identify the same players as being the best?
