With all this extra year nonsense, a handful of our top kids are opting for what others would call mid to low-level D1. The larger than normal rosters are being widely viewed as a scarcity of prospects and potential PT at the top programs by some good players and families. Lots of kids who would have normally looked at top, established programs are looking at teams like Utah, UMBC, Mich, St Joes, Bucknell etc. because they feel like their opportunities to play will occur faster. Expect more parity in college lacrosse in the upcoming years and some mid tier teams to surprise.
Picking a college based on anticipated playing time? That is scary....Johnny is will be going to St. Joe's over Bucknell, we anticipate more playing time!
Bucknell plays in the patriot league and is a top 20 program great choice. Plus you get a great education
Great school but not a top 20 program.
Bucknell ranked #23 this week only played 1 game. Covid issues. If they win this week vs Leigh will crack the top 20
They are a Program that has teams that are ranked in the Top 20 from time to time, they are not a one of the Top 20 Programs... If Bucknell were an overall good fit for one of my kids I would be very proud if they had the opportunity to attend.
Every kid is different, every school / program is different. Lacrosse is a great hammerhead that helps to get our children into schools that they would otherwise not gain acceptance at.
For some reason, people on this site want to have everyone believe that their choice is the best choice (it's not, it's your choice).
