Sign of the times. It looks like Rutgers has 15 5th year players on their 2022 roster.
Crazy. They also asked their 2021’s to Do a PG year somewhere. Welcome to the new normal.
Rutgers is a decent school and seems to be getting much better in lacrosse but to do a PG year to go there seems insane. There are a lot of similar academic schools out there where if you can make Rutgers you could probably start at the better academic school. They do very well in the academic ratings for US news who gives a lot of points for diversity of the school but does not do very well in other rankings that looks at student outcome and salary. To do a PG year you should probably be looking at a top 30 academic school where there are only a few options for a better academic opportunity. There are too many similar schools to Rutgers to justify doing a PG year. But lacrosse parents probably Will go for it.
Rutgers only ranks high on many college ranking reports because of their high level of diversity. Tons of better options out there to do a PG year for Rutgers. If there really is 15 5th year players, that would field the entire team and leave many with minimal playing time. If they are transferring as a 5th year, they will definitely be receiving more playing time than the younger players.
