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

I call BS. Duke is def not just sitting quietly on a 2020 early commit waiting for the right time to let the player announce.

You are wrong - they don't want to be part of the early recruiting but they already have their guys. The promises have been made - be quiet until next summer and the spot is yours. Believe it - this is the 3rd year it has happened.

Look at their recruiting board - every one of the kids is in the top 75 in the country. Do you think those kids are turning down other offers in the hope that Duke calls them in the summer? Nope - they already know they have a spot at Duke...

You are wrong... There was not one Duke assistant on any sideliine anywhere all summer long "We are still piecing together our 19's we are aware of many of the talented 20's but we are still focusing on the other age groups this moment.

FACT, duke asst or someone representing duke has been at a showcase this summer for '20's. Fact duke head coach has inquired to club director about a certain '20 prospect i know of who has already committed to psu.

The greatest predictor of lacrosse success and early commitments are birth dates. Loved to watch the dads when their third grader was a phenom and dominating the PAL. They were so proud. Only to find out 8 years later that Junior was a full 9-11 months older than everyone else. On top of the fact that some town programs had kids playing up due to low roster numbers, so he was running over kids a year and a half to two years younger. Junior was the next Mikey Powell or Nicky Polanco. The travel coaches chose maturity over ability and lobbied his parents to join their "A" team. He got better coaching, better tournaments and better opportunities to play with better players. So for all you dads believing you must have magical sperm imparting those superhuman genes on your offspring, think again. You either got lucky, planned the conception masterfully, red shirted your kindergartner, or had him reclassed. Congrats. In this new age of less physical play, out of control club teams and college coaches fighting over 9th graders, you hit the jackpot.

If you are being factual you have to provide facts, what you are doing is spreading rumors. Base your FACT with details or it is not a FACT!!

I guess someone just finished reading The Outliers

2019 Class will be lightly recruited schools will load up with 2020's because of its strength.

There is far less parity in the 2020 class. There is one team that never loses. 2019 has 6 to 8 teams that consistently play one another to one or two goal outcomes. It must get old entering a 2020 tournament only to discover that 91 is entered.

You do realize there is lacrosse outside of LI- right? Have you seen some of the 2020 kids in MD, NJ, PA, CA, TX ??? Lots of talented 2020s.

There is??? Well maybe, but it isnt Real Lacrosse!

Are u kidding me ? 2020 is a weak year. Just because a few got committed already doesn't mean anything. Honestly , a few aren't deserving yet. They haven't even grown. It snowballed after the first one who definatly is deserving. 2019 actually is a very strong year. I have one in both years and the difference is very noticeable.

Can anybody give me an update on the 2028's? Any superstars? LOL

I can..It will be the best class since the 2026's. 2027 is a disaster according to people in the know!. No speed and and most wouldn't know a 1-4-1 from a 1-3-2.

Ty Xanders has a big profile up on the 2028's. Man they are going to be good. Several have decided to not do nap time and hit the wall!! He has given a shout out on a couple of FOGO's too.

Dont tell anyone but UNC and Hopkins have already recruited two of the stud 2028 middies. They are keeping it hush hush. Both middies can shoot with either hand while drinking out of a sippy cup!

Expecting more 2028 commitments to be announced soon!

printed in the Baltimore Sun this morning a couple days ago... A proposal to rein in recruiting practices in college lacrosse – where players as young as rising high school freshmen commit to Division I programs – has crossed a major hurdle toward being ratified.

Last month the NCAA Division I Council recommended legislation to prohibit contact with potential athletes before Sept. 1 of their junior year in high school. If approved by the NCAA Division I Board of Directors in April 2017, the laws could be enacted as early as Aug. 1, 2017.

Big secret, don't tell anyone. The two stud middies are really 2027s. HAHAHA

What do you consider much money?

My son is a 2019 with three schools waiting for other school(s) to make an offer before they do. What the heck do I do?
