Lol, wishful thinking dad. Until you get blown out be BC and get a reality check. Fact is, the best girls don’t want to go that far when they can have the same thing back East, and their families can get to their games without extensive expenses and travel time.
LOL, Fact is , most girls couldn’t get offers from Stanford! Congrats to anyone who does, Major accomplishment. Some girls do lacrosse, in hopes that doors get opened to great schools and great opportunities they may not get otherwise. Girls that are actually thinking about their futures, and not just about playing college lacrosse in driving distance to home. It’s not about the family getting to college lacrosse games.
Stanford acceptance rate 4.7%, BC acceptance rate 32.3%.
I already know of several top 2023 commits that crossed Stanford off because of distance. Great school, but too far for many when there are similar options much closer. As you see the top girls begin to commit, you will see that they pick others schools, such as the top YJ player who committed to BC today and could have gone anywhere she wanted, but didn't even visit. If it was just for school, that's very different than going to play on a D1 team where you want the support of your family.
No one said Stanford has its pick of the elite players. The posters said no elite players go to Stanford which is just nonsense. It appears some folks just want to tear down a particularly kid/family any chance they get. Stanford will be top 10 for the next several years and offers arguably the best education available. I’ll sign-up for that all day long. Congrats to the kids wherever they sign!!!
