Kid is good - no surprise. I don't get committing to a school like UNC when he could have gone anywhere (ND, Duke, Ivy, etc.). To each his own .... This is where guidance by a parent is imperative. This kid is good enough to commit yet picks the school that just happens to be current D1 champs. No one can say how much more he will develop in the next couple of years. Depending on his academic status and projected future potential in the class room; its a parents responsibility to guide the student athlete to the best fit possible. Perhaps in this case; UNC was a good choice if the parameters where all weighed in. Our early commit was just as good in the classroom as on the field and we thought a shot at IVY was in his best interest as long as he stayed the course wrt both aspects. We sat as a family and looked at all the pros and cons of each school and what he liked about them and if it fit into what he thought might be a place where he could pursue numerous academic options. He chose IVY and we stressed that at any moment if he thought it was too much pressure; that he could change course. So far so good...one year away from his goal now and more happy with his choice than when he made it. Perhaps a good choice for your son. However, have you really looked into what's happening at "IVY" schools lately? Are you aware of the extreme radical leftist environment that exists at many of these schools? Are you aware that the freedom of ideas and self expression are only available to those that follow along with the leftist agenda? Are you aware that if your son does not support this agenda within his course work he will be held accountable with poor grades? Are you further aware that the support of any idea other than those approved by the radical left are met with extreme social backlash? Most certainly you are unaware. An example of said leftist mov't can be found on just about every campus in the USA and have been for decades. Your claims re IVY are absurd and without substantiation. What then, is your agenda? WRONG. 96% percent of all professors at Cornell support and donate to the left. Fact! Same school has interviews of students who've faced retribution from professors in terms of lower grades for right leaning positions. Fact. Center/right positions on any and all subjects are met with censorship and the cries of racism across all Ivies. Do a little research, you just might become a bit enlightened. My agenda is simple, freedom of expression, freedom of speech and the free and open exchange of ideas. Something the "Ivies" use to embrace. Unfortunately, those ideals are only reserved for the left on your precious ivy campus. Pretty broad sword your wielding there... (does it come with a Trump MAGA hat?) I take it your child or yourself did not make it into the IVY school of your choice? Rather predictable response, come on, surely you can do better than that? Right out of the leftist play book. When you can't argue the facts, personally attack the one with the facts. Try sticking to the point, perhaps you have some meaningful bits of information to counter my facts? Prove me wrong?

why do you attack someone who cites statistics and delivered a well developed observation? to follow your logic a person who who may be critical of IVYs is only a bitter and rejected person who couldn't get in? , your high handed dismissal of that prior poster with a Trump reference is actually a prime example of what he or she was concerned within the post. because he has an agenda with ivy's and does not discuss the entirety of the issue which is endemic to most universities at this point. (see my above short discourse explaining this whilst not condemning any one type of conference or league of schools). by the way; I am a conservative who can discuss both sides of a topic in a coherent and meaningful manner. that is what one can gain while attending an IVY. and your meaningful retort is...? Uhh... Might be time to head back to school, the point is, only one side of any point has become acceptable to discuss at your IVY school. The very discussion of the conservative point of view has now become "offensive". As an alumni, perhaps you should wake up and demand change. Demand the free and open exchange of ideas.

This whole conservation is a micro-aggression and wants me to seek out my safe space.

Clearly you did not have the mental capacity or focus to endure my lengthy discussion above, which actually supported and expanded upon your misguided and narrow assessment of the leftist positions of University today. Its closure comment was meant for your close minded, aggressive position and statements. I went to school for 18 years. perhaps you need a sabbatical yourself. Your myopic position bores me and is quite predictable, thus I will excuse myself from this and my hopes of a fulfilling discussion with you as well. #nevertrump

enjoying the give and take of these mutually respectful people who clearly respect each others opinion. I would never send my child to Yale because it is way to conservative for him, and only Princeton if he didn't get into Brown and had to settle for the less liberal Tigers. Having said that Harvard is too liberal even for him. I kid has to have a limit.

Run like the wind all day, uses his stick like a surgeon, hits like a small truck. Still needs to be able to be an offensive threat. Look for video of Kyle Hartzel on youtube for the pro version prototype. Short stick local pro version is DiNapoli. Fun fact is that Brian Spallina was an LSM All American at Hofstra. Different game back then, but just shows you that the guy has to have a very high level motor.

There are no full scholarships. You are chasing a unicorn. If the kid can play - he can play. If he can't - he can't. You can't tailor his play for a showcase.

Its rare but some kids do get what amounts to a full ride. Probably 1 or 2 kids per team. I would say the average scholarship is between $5000-$10000.

Ask anyone you share a sideline with who has kids that went through the FAFSA process except for a staford load most get nothing. They do academic money so tell your kid to study study study!
