BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Early Recruiting

The collegiate lacrosse rosters are growing because the typical lacrosse kid is from a upper middle class family and is a better than average student - and will probably never see the field. Full tuition paying parents and good student - good combination for the school! Most importantly the parents can claim little Johnny is playing D1 lacrosse, and it justifies their holdback manuever and private schooling!

If UNC offered your son early would you take the offer knowing the size of the roster. I would say 99 out of 100 would . UNC can pretty much pick any kid they want.

If my kid could play at UNC I would wait for an offer from a better academic school. Paper classes for for their athletes. No thanks.

bingo

UNC has one if the top 10 business schools in North America, it's all what a kid makes of the opportunity.

Sure. Early commit to UNC or wait for an Ivy? No brainier...

Harvard > UNC

or get the best of both and commit early to IVY if it presents itself

#16...nothing to brag about. I wonder how many UNC lax bro's go (qualify) there after undergrad?

plenty of UNC lax players running around wall street -

Stanford
Harvard
Northwestern
Columbia
Dartmouth
Chicago
Penn
UC Berkley
MIT
Cornell

You know what those are? Top 10 business schools in US

UNC is an outstanding school in every way. I do need to take small exception with those who consider working on wall street the badge of success. perhaps it used to be, but the business has changed dramatically and the lax bros. cannot just wave in someone from their alma mater or former teammate. use the same skill set that made you a good student and lax player and apply it to other venues for happiness and success.

Not every lax player is qualified to go to an Ivy League school, in fact most kids don't academically qualify. UNC provides a top notch education along with one of if not the best lacrosse experiences in the nation. I'm sure if the number one team in the nation knocked on your door and was interested in your son you would listen. UNC also has one of the best coaches in the business, I would want him mentoring my son.

Not sure if I'd listen.

They are in the middle of an NCAA investigation for fake classes (mostly for athletes) that spanned at least three decades. Professors deciding if they even want to stay. Millions going into risk management and protecting it's image as opposed to going into the classrooms.

Top notch. Who are you kidding? Or is a different UNC?

If UNC is clamoring for my kid that means he can play for virtually every D1 program. I'd listen but I certainly wouldn't jump on it. Too many programs out there that a far superior academically.

The unfortunate thing about the cheating scandal is it involved the men's and women's basketball and the football teams. It is an excellent university and there wasn't anything in the investigation focused on lacrosse and many other non revenue sports. Full disclosure: I'm a UVA guy.

Wrong order (just splitting hairs)......I do not see UNC there....why not?

I imagine he was referring to undergrad business schools. The above list is clearly grad (professional) schools, though Cornell seems to have snuck its way on the list, lol.

UNC would likely make any undergrad business school top 10 ranking.

Right order. And they aren't there. That's the point!

MIT Sloan
UC Berkley
UPenn Wharton
Cornell Dyson

Above Are the only ones on that list that actually have undergrad business schools.
Actually many of the best undergrad business programs are at state universities such as Virginia-McIntire, UNC-Kenan-Flagler, Michigan-Ross There are no Undergrad business programs at
Stanford
Harvard
Northwestern
Columbia
Dartmouth
Chicago
They are top for an MBA, not for undergrad.

Wish my son could get a great education and play for a top D1 school like UNC. Anyone who says different is jealous, most of the people who comment on here don't have to worry about early recruiting because only the very best get recruited early and are offered scholarship money. UNC has one of the top business schools in the country currently ranked 16th by Forbes along with many other top ranked programs, it's all what your son or daughter makes of it. Congrats to the Team 91 program on having the first two recruits of the 2020 class. Michigan and Penn State are also great schools and I'm sure your sons will make the most of the opportunity.

Guys, you're down the wrong road. First, there are about 20 top bschools and there are many rankings that juggle the list for top 10 or top 15. Keenan at UNC is one. Fuqua at Duke and Darden at UVA are others. Anderson at UCLA...

More important these are graduate schools of business. Your little lax bro won't be getting an MBA during four years of college. Going to a good undergrad college like UNC -- and doing well there -- is a gateway to things like business school.

Got it? Good. Stop splitting nostril hairs. And try the veal.

Anybody know when the under armour all American underclass team will be announced?

Another political bit of BS as legitimate as TX and his rankings. And before you say little Johnny wasn't ranked or wasn't an UA all American; too late. He is and was but the selection process is bereft of anything coherent or believable. Kids make it that shouldn't and kids don't that should have. My kid was marginal at best and made it.

These teams are picked before it starts, a complete joke and everyone knows it. Only exception is if a kid goes there and is completely and utterly lights out and clearly a better player than his peers, which we all know is a very rare occurrence.

Money grab sham

Someone's kid didn't make the first cut I guess

Been down this road before. Watch your wallet folks...

Oh please. This is the worst money grab and baked cupcake event in the sport. These teams are determined before anyone arrives in the parking lot. It's a $200 t shirt. The last year I went Jake Stover was passed over as a rising senior for a couple of goalies not nearly his level on their best day. This event is an absolute joke straight down to the 'independent evaluators' who also happen to be the prominent club and prep people.

Guess what? College coaches know it too!! had more than one talk about it during visits. However, that being said it is a great event for the uncommitted kid looking for some exposure.

Coaches do show up for this simply as a way to do an efficient check in on current committed kids. They know the selection process is a joke. That is baked in.

Does anyone else see another huge conflict of interest that the Corrigan family runs this? Their own club team, their own tournaments and events franchise and a brother who is an ACC head coach? Gee, I wonder why they broke down the barrier for PGs to play in the senior game last year. Might that have had anything to do with that kid being a Notre Dame commit? River of sleaze coming out of Baltimore.

Is the selection process for Jake Reed, Black Card and Showtime also not fraught with politics? C'mon, there is politics in all of it. Look at the younger Baltimore UA team. 7 clubs and 10 schools are represented. That is pretty varied. Still, the best way to get evaluated is by playing with your team(s) in games and tournaments and individually at prospect days. Those are the two places where your dollar goes the farthest.

So...apparently Corrigan is the new UVA coach. What a cluster$&@& potentially for the kids committed to UVA, and possible ND as well.

If he isn't bringing his D coordinator from ND with him, many of us former UVA players will not be expecting much if this rumor is true. Hopefully whoever they hire will bring in more gritty Long Island players. Recruiting the country club/hold back kids that are offered spots in 9th grade obviously hasn't worked.

Sure, you played there. Who cares, are you a big booster footing the bill? If not, then I think you get no say in this.

I hate to blow a hole in your theory ....but Kevin Corrigan and Booker Corrigan are not brothers. Check for yourself

17 year olds on the 2019-20 Under Armour South roster? Makes no sense

No, they are cousins. The other Corrigan who owns CSE is Kevin's brother.

You're welcome.
