Poster forgot every kid on here will compete for a national championship or go to an ivy. Nobody on here will have their daughter go to a mid level D1 lacrosse school. Can't argue with parents of a Shannon

Have you been drinking? Are you off your medication? Are you high on drugs?
What are you talking about? Who is Shannon? Define mid level DI lacrosse school.

Never mind, slither back under your rock.

Who is Shannon?

Funny but I gues fame does fade. The poster was referring to players like Shannon Smith and Shannon Gilroy. Both great players, both involved in college coaching, which seems to be the likely career path for most of the blue chip players, so a major in sports science or whatever they are pushing works well.

I was looking at rosters last night for the '17 season, some teams do not list the players majors, but a vast majority of the girls are undeclared majors. There is a lot of journalism related majors, sports science majors, and business related majors on the top 10 teams. Northwestern and Stony Brook had the most diverse and challenging collection of majors. the Ivies had a lot of of business majors as you would expect except for Cornell with hotel management. Very few engineering, medical, nursing or law majors on any roster, maybe 10 combined for all of the afore mentioned majors.
I have a daughter playing D1 lax now and have been through the process and my take on this is... Coaches will not demand you take any major, but if you tell them you want to take a challenging major while recruiting they will pass you up unless your a blue chip, then they will try to pursuade you to change your mind. Some schools like Fla, Maryland , and UN certainly have majors for athletes because 1/3 of the players are in them.

Shannon Gilroy is listed as a member of the 2017 World Cup training team. Shannon Smith was a business major and not a sports science major. More than 35% of women enter the educational field after graduation. Pathetic you feel the need to put these women down. I wish your daughter luck. The real world is an ugly place and you just proved it.

Pathetic? whay so angry and hostile? is your daughter one of throngs of uncommitted upperclassmen playing lacrosseas a major? Your angry rant proves me right, Shannon Gilroy is on the womans national team, so what shes a good lacrosse player I expect nothing less, tell me she left Florida, one of the biggest schools that "push' there athletes to easy majors, and took a job netting over $60,00.00 to start and then you have a point. Shannon smith went to N.U. one of the few schools that allow difficult majors, for business? N.U. is essentially an engineering school and a law school, so whats your argument their? It's not like she went to Pemn for buisness. You say 35% of woman that play lax come out into the education field, my daughter will be amoungst them as she has switched to an education major, so aagain whats your point? i guess you just needed to write an angry post today? No one has "put these women down" just stating facts as they are pertinent to the conversation at hand, so stop being so defensive about the truth.

Shannon Smith graduated 5th in her class at Northwestern. She got paid to get her masters at Hofstra. Just because they don't go directly into the field they majored in, doesn't mean they were there just to play lacrosse.

Yes, if their major is Basket Weaving! But I'm sure a BW degree from Princeton will take you further than one from Stony Brook

I will throw in the following:

11 - Dartmouth
12 - Northwestern
14 - Brown
15 - Cornell
15 - Notre Dame
15 - Vanderbilt
20 - Georgetown
20 - Cal Berkley
23 - Southern Cal
24 - Virginia
27 - Michigan
30 - UNC
31 - Boston College
32 - William and Mary
39 - Boston University
44 - Lehigh
50 - Penn State
50 - Florida
50 - Villanova

Some other great DI schools:

Colgate, Navy, Army, Richmond, Bucknell, Holy Cross, Lafayette

Thats 34 great schools that offer young women an incredible opportunity. Not all Devision I athletes look for less demanding majors. Not all student athletes want to be engineers or MD's.

The jealousy on here is crazy. There are great DII and DII opportunities as well. If that is what is offered to you or that is what you choose congratulations.

Constantly trying to convince everyone how wise you are because your daughter goes to a DIII school. How it will be a far superior experience and education than what she would have at Princeton, Stanford, Penn, Duke, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Boston College, Penn State or God forbid The University of North Carolina.

In my experience, very few girls who have both the grades and athleticism to be offered an opportunity to attend one of the schools listed choose to go DII.

Give it a rest already. If you turned down Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Duke, Northwestern and Notre Dame to go wherever good for you.

Keep telling yourself that all of the young women who attend and play lacrosse at one of the 34 schools listed will not get a great education and have an incredible college experience.

To each her own.

It must be very tough going through life so bitter and jealous.

You obviously did not attend one of the 34 schools that you deem acceptable. It's spelled DIVISION, not DEVISION. I could understand if you fat-fingered a key that was next to I, but E is way over on the left side of the keyboard. You must be a YJ parent and attended Stony Brook.

[quote=Anonymous]Well, I'll give you credit. Your spelling improved but your punctuation was horrible. Your SBU professors and CR must be so proud of you. [/quote

So is your wife , loser. How is my punctuation now? Now go back to TG so your daughter can learn to abuse women because of their looks. Good luck to her when she finds a loser like you who hates women but lives punctuation .

I do not "live" punctuation. I'll assume you meant "loves". Man, you better stop before you hurt yourself and disappoint CR even more. By the way, I'm not connected to TG in any way. I don't even live in NY.

No I meant lives because an [lacrosse] like you never loves anything. The good news is nothing ever loves an [lacrosse] like you. I see you have stopped going after a women because of their looks, seems you realize it was too easy to make you look like the women hater you are. Keep posting I will not let you get from under that rock you call home. It must be difficult for you to raise a daughter when you hate women so much. No one believes you are not TG, but everyone knows why it embarrasses you.

Saw the infamous girl today at tryouts. She definitely absolutely is not her age. Barreling through teammates, no correct age girl is doing that.

Just curious - how is it possible for someone to not be their age?

How come the girl moved from her beginning group within 15 seconds of the shuttle drill... CR only moved a few to the top teams and the rest of the 'new' girls stayed together--- I guess you could say she already knows who she wants from the shuttle drill.

That's all fine... This kid is complete club hopper. Sad to say if she makes a YJ team, she'll be gone in 2 weeks

How does a shuttle drill define what kind of player you are? How come the kid only did 6 passes then moved away from the newcomers group...? CR must've knew what new girls she wanted so they didn't have to fight hard to get on a team, like our other new girls. It was completely unfair to move 3 new girls somewhere else while the other new ones stayed together in a group. They didn't give our girls a chance to shine or at least experience what it was like playing against the top teams. It was expected "secret weapon" , was bound to make either one of the teams as soon as she stepped on to the field. That's unbelievable.

I don't see anything wrong with being a complete club hopper. I will say thou that if you commit to a team then u should be there for all tournaments,etc... showing up when you want is just wrong. If you make the commitment than stick to it!

Who is secret weapon?
