My question to the reclass supporters . . . would you support a rule change to allow expected PG to play down 1yr when they are in HS?

If not, why not?

I am completely baffled as to why college coaches even want reclasses? It waters down the whole sport. I know if college coaches stopped recruiting and signing reclasses then maybe the proactive would stop. That or US lacrosse actually committing to teams by birth years like soccer does, but I doubt that would happen. At least the age rules are a step in the right direction. As a parent though, I would be embarrassed myself if my kid had to reclass to be dominate

College coaches need to show progress and wins in the metrics of Ws and Ls. The average coaching tenure in NCAA Lax is 3.5 years. If a 21 year old freshman is available and has 4.3 speed and a 100mph shot and can squeak by admissions and has references from a top 25 national coach, yes let's take that kid.

No different than club coaches taking reclasses, honestly. In club ball, success is measured every 10 months when the last game is played. Nobody from Rec Travel to Hoco Elite to NXT AA league would say no to older kids.

Most tournaments have specific rules saying you cannot be in 10th grade currently (this fall) playing in 2028. NAL, Hogan events, etc. Get caught, your team will get popped….
