Ok so by your proclamation the national championship trophy should say cheaters when the likes of Duke, Unc, JHU, etc etc win?? You are a negative, depressed and bitter person. You sure spend a lot of energy on being negative and are a debbie downer. wow. the national championship. it shouldn't say cheaters because the system allows for it but you use words like negative and depressed and bitter. I think looking in your mirror you might see some of those traits deep down. it doesn't take energy to call out how winning at all costs in the sports world has created monsters. just look at the pathetic domestic abusers, criminals and downright thugs the NFL is filled with. I know I know. it's all about winning. you wouldn't be so aggressively defensive if deep down you knew it's not all on the level and it just teachers our kids to jump on any bandwagon especially if the likes of Duke, UNC, JHU think it's all perfectly fine. I know. it's the way of the world. doesn't mean it's right. calm down and don't be so defensive. you're winning, aren't you?

You truly must be a registrar or at least have a full notebook on players birthdates to discuss the pger. First you blame us for having years older kids but sounds like ny and the rest of the lax world is catching on and all I envision is you trying to keep your name calling-head above the water and hope someone throws you a floatie. Waters rising too fast for you and all you got is bullying and name calling? But that's ok, I find it entertaining. If I was a nyer from a district that has a stupid late cutoff I would absolutely make the adjustment for my child to compete with same age kids. Ny is being left in the dust. yeah but we got rid of you, didn't we

I know I know. as long as you win all is well with the world. let me guess the conversation you have with your child. we have to leave you back. it's the only way to win. what else can you possibly say. I know I know. it's how the game is played even by Duke. I hope their children can see through that and one day grow their own pair. because theirs is no example.

I'm just using Duke as an example. Do you ivy douches really think this doesn't happen at cornell, penn. Princeton, etc? Check the rosters losers. Hold backs all over those rosters. You remember rob pannell right? Pannell was never held back, He is a Smithtown (LI) grad that wasn't recruited out of high school. He did A P.G. year at Deerfield (I Think it was Deerfield) where he played against kids his age (other post grads). He most assuredly was not held back in the 8th grade so he could seem stronger or smarter than he actually was. He went through his H.S. career in his original grade, and when he wasn't recruited he did what he had to to secure a spot on a D1 roster like every other kid on L.I. , he worked hard for it. What he didn't do was act like so many sub-par Maryland players, cheat. The truth is your boys have to be a year older to compete with our kids because we're just better and you need some sort of handicap. So we'll spot you the year, but it still doesn't matter does it, you still can't beat us.

There is no binding of a decision to honor a commitment on the student aspect of this scenario You people just post whatever you want on here without facts. Like the guy saying Pannell was not recruited out of HS. He was. He committed to Qunnipiac. Heh ad a really good year and was noticed by other better D1 schools. Since he was committed to the Q he did not apply to any other schools. Therefore he could not go to the other schools because it was too late - he missed their admissions process. He then did a PG year at Deerfield so he could apply to Cornell. A similar thing happened with Chaminade player Rick Mole. He was committed to a D3 school and had a great senior year. He ended up taking a year off and re-applied to Harvard the next year and played there for 4 years. The only difference is he did not do a PG year - he just took a year off.

So please enlighten me, what variable is population density taking into account that total population does not in this argument. You must be one of the kids that got "re-classified" as a kid

If you are going to cite the entire population of the state, realize that a large portion is in the counties surrounding DC, which is not considered Baltimore. If you want to cite the MD population, you need to include many of the DC kids who are end up playing D1 lacrosse. Not sure which is bigger: your collective obsessions, or your collective stupidity.

Comparing apples to oranges and if one were to take the time to do the adjusted math, Maryland would more than likely exceed the number of D1 recruits of Long Island based on the number of kids playing. This discussion has taken place countless times on these forums-stop trying to stir the pot and recognize both regions have talented players. It is not an us vs them - those kids that go on to play in college, will all play together so stop trying to pit them against one another. and you, my finely unqualified statistician, have failed to realize that long island proper includes Brooklyn and queens counties which is a total of 7.75 million citizens. subtract the population of the only two counties on long island that actually play lacrosse, they being Nassau and Suffolk; and we have only a combined population of 2.8 million. Maryland on the other hand has 5.9 million citizens. you guys close to DC just love that fuzzy math....now do the rest if you care and you will see that per capita, Strong Island produces the most D1 players and the least amount of age holdback cheaters. thanks for trying If we are going to exclude the non lacrosse playing counties, then Maryland still fares better with about 2.25 mil population(quoting your US Census) which again explain the SLIGHTLY higher D1 numbers for Long Island. If we take away Brooklyn and Queens, the same site you quote(THE US Census) notes that Nassau County pop density is 4,704 people per square mile and Suffolk 1,637 per square mile compared to Maryland at 590 per that same square mile. Statistics takes into account all variables not just the ones you like. ]If we were to continue with your [lacrosse] logic, and adjust for population density per square mile, we would also have to adjust for total square miles. So Maryland as a whole is 9707.24 square miles. Nassau is 284.72 sq. mi. and suffolk is 912.05 sq. mi. for a total of 1,196.77 sq mi.. So, with an area 8x larger, and a population 2 million larger, you are still producing less players. could you imagine how many we could produce if we had 8x more land to play on

Sorry, watched "Wedding Crashers" for the 100th time last night. Vince Vaughn is hilarious in that movie. At 6' 5" he looks like he is ready to suit up for a Maryland 9th grade team!
