Everyone had better start thinking D3, my kid included. The number of hold backs and legit freak athletes involved in this sport now is off the meters. The number of kids who would have been D1 football prospects just 10 years ago from places like Florida, Texas and Cali are turning up in Lax now. Think Jadaveon Clowney in the midfield.... JJ Watt with a long pole, or Johnny Mansiel as an attack. With those kind of athletes out there it will be pretty tough for a LI kid with great stick skills to break through. Hate to break it to you all, but that's where all this is going.
I dont know about that....I just watched a bunch of committed D1 true 2017's from LI have no problem in Denver. And I watched the LI committed D1 kids from LI that are on age beat older Crabs, Patriot & West Coast Stars a few weeks ago.
Didn't say our kids won't earn spots, they will. The trend however, is not in the LI kids favor.
Completely agree. The game is beginning to attract elite athletes who otherwise might have played football, primarily. It seems that the concussion focus in football and the constant "grow the game" message by US Lacrosse is changing the dynamic. Duke is the prime example and indeed, the trend is irreversible. If you want to be a D1 middie in 5 years you better work on a 4.4 40.
