[quote=Anonymous]I see an issue, a current 2019's will want to send their grades (in June) to the coaches who've had their eye on them.

A coach doesn't have to wait to see how that player will pan out That Freshman has the same core course as a Jr. That freshman knows where their future path lies. Sure it is easy to say all or none, but I was taught the easy way isn't always the right way. You can send away..The coach can look at anything he wants or recieves as long as it is not solicited prior to Sept Junior year...He just cant contact you or your coaches until Sept Junior year. Pretty simple. Look all u want....dont talk. I am pretty sure that all of the 9th and 10th graders that are already committed know their future coaches want to see their grades. The PSA will send them, but they will not get a response from the coach. Also, if you are a top student and you want college coaches to know that, you can feel free to send anything you want. That coach will put you on their "call ASAP Junior year list" if they are interested  This concept should not be that difficult to understand. the concept is confusing, the difficulty is; I thought the coaches weren't supposed to have or open any communication. So how would a coach know until Sept 1 Jr yr about a kid's grades. or Are you telling me you can send emails all you want and they just cant respond. I thought that is how it already was. (except they could contact your club or HS coach). someone please clarify this. I was told no contact etal. If you send a coach a note, does he think you are smart and diligent or extremely stupid and dont care for the rules Students are allowed to email coaches as much as they want, for expressing interest, sending film, informing the coach of accolades/accomplishments, updating game schedules, etc. In turn, the coach could only previously respond by email to inform the student of camps, tell the student to fill out a questionairre, but not discuss recruiting specific to that player. However, if a student picked up the phone, and the coach answered the call, they could talk about recruiting. The coach could not return a message, but if he picked up the phone, they could talk. Alike, the coach could talk to school or club coaches as intermediaries. Now, the coach would not be able to talk on the phone or talk to school/club coaches at all. So, no more early commitments, the coaches will still scout 2020's and 2019's this Summer just as they would have already been doing, recruiting boards will be filled in their offices, and there will be a mad dash of calls and reaching out on Sept. 1 for 2019's this Fall. Then same will happen for 2020's next Sept. 1. 2020's and 2019's should really treat the whole thing as a non-issue. 2021 parents won't see coaches on the sidelines this Summer, but really need to do their events, as the clubs won't appreciate kids bailing on tourneys. HS coaches should look for some fall off of 2019 football and soccer players, as kids that treat lax as primary will think they need to keep Fall open to deal with lax recruiting visits and such. What do you mean the kids should do the clubs events? F*** the club. Only go to the camps. No reason to go to any 2021 recruiting events this year..like Brine, Under Armour, etc...Is there??? My son is signed up for the Brine and his friends are going, so I'm there. I won't be busting my hump to make any of the prospect camps this summer. My Son is an October birthday, so he is already at a disadvantage. Several parents who I spoke to who are going D1 told me to wait until next summer to start that process. No reason to have an on age kid be the youngest at a camp and get labeled and knocked out early. If your child is a 2021 and born in Oct isnt he one of the oldest besides kids held back?? This comment is a perfect example of how "clueless" parents outside of NY are about the age differences. Yes our kids (NY-LI) born in October of 2003 are 2021s. Yes your kids born in June of 2003 are 2022s and your 2002 birthdates are 2021s while our 2002 birthdates are 2020s. One year makes a huge difference at the Middle School grades. Are you listening TC? You know, the team that thinks all 2002 birthdates are 2021s. LOL.

I have talked to many parents recently who are holding their child back in public's in MD/DC. It seems to be growing?

The PSA and club coach/HS coach can send as many emails as they want to the college coach. The Club and HS coach can also talk to the College coach any time they want. Offers and specifics about a kid shouldn't be discussed but the HS/Club coach can say Johnny is interested in their school. The college coach can also give "general feedback" to the Club and HS coach like we like how Johnny is playing. no serious recruiting conversations can happen until 9.1 junior year. ex. we are going to offer Johnny this is how most are understanding the rule I see an issue, a current 2019's will want to send their grades (in June) to the coaches who've had their eye on them. Is the player wrong for sending the grades he is proud of, does the coach who opens the email have to worry about being in violation.

Can't arbitrarily hold back in public school unless the school make you repeat, which they only do if you are a ding dong. Tax payers don't fund sports ambition, but do fund stupid kids that can't pass public school classes.

And then if any of those kids repeat for academic reasons, they are now two years older!

Where there is a will, there is a way. Sounds like they used the transfer as an opportunity to make the case for repeating. But holding back within an individual public school is nearly impossible, unless you are a dumbbell.

All of the hold back girls in our area go to private school. They either started K at 6, repeated 6th grade, repeated 9th grade...The ones we know that are repeating 9th next year are doing it for LAX.

Methinks the tin foil is on too tight. The only scheme here is to consolidate top teams together so coaches know which tourneys to go to, which is beginning to include non-traditional hot beds like Colorado, Georgia, etc. Have you looked at the commits? Just bringing Sweetlax into the mix just up'ed the amount of NLF commits by 2 (or so. . .they have a pretty strong record)...I highly doubt that club is paying anything to say they're part of the NLF. This is more about dealing with the new regs. This puts the top players in traditional hotbeds, i.e. MD, LI, Upstate NY, NE, Canada, into bed with growing hotbeds, i.e. CA, GA, PA (though they might be a hotbed..no offense meant). It's a positive for kids on these teams, IMO.

NLF is more money for fat Crab and his minions. Here is a thought - maybe such a prestigious lacrosse organization should be the leader in following USL guidelines to move to age based classification for youth lacrosse. of course they won't - too much money to be made.

8th grader to Michigan......In your face new rules! ??? How do you know the agreement wasn't made a few weeks ago. I know of 5 girls that are 2020 that committed over the past few months whose names don't show up on the Lacrosse recruits site. Are there other sites that have the recruits?

NLF is more money for fat Crab and his minions. Here is a thought - maybe such a prestigious lacrosse organization should be the leader in following USL guidelines to move to age based classification for youth lacrosse. of course they won't - too much money to be made. Let public school kids choose to play down a year. Everyone is tired of them complaining and diluting the talent anyway.

From what I understand, the verbal was made prior to the new rules. Michigan squeaked it in at the 11th hour.

They are going nowhere until they get rid of their coach.

Be careful with that type of statement. Michigan is a big school. Not all degrees hold the same weight, Depends on what the student/athlete's degree is.

You're in great shape. Only issue is, you have to apply after sophomore year. You had better have a 3.95 gpa. Lacrosse will have zero weight.

Wasn't today the date that the NCAA voted to confirm the new recruiting rules?
Has anyone heard anything?

can anyone explain what this means?
Off-campus contacts may not occur with a recruit or their relatives before September 1 of their junior year. These contacts may only occur at the home or school of the recruit. - NCAA

They can't make offers or talk about specific commitments, but they can interact and generally discuss interest. I doubt the "home" part of quote is accurate. If the quote is accurate, the same criteria would apply as at the camps, no offers or commitments would be able to be made.

Michigan has a good engineering school (for a public school), but athletes may be discouraged from those types of degrees if they want to play sports. Michigan is an example of what really good marketing and branding can do. School is over-hyped and overrated like most big box rah-rah schools. Your son will be better positioned graduating from a boutique or smaller DI school than Michigan.

Exactly. Playing a sport like Lacrosse at ANY school, be it an Ivy, Big 10, ACC, Big East, Patriot, NESCAC, etc., puts you into a very select group. Regardless of conference, you're set. Big 10 and ACC and Ivy probably give you an edge due to size, but negligible. Sorry to break that to all you Ivy folks. . .but it's true. . .

Better networking in the ACC and Big Ten than the Ivy League? Sorry pal - a kid that played lacrosse at Yale, Harvard, Princeton, etc. is a going to have a plum job lined up before your lax bro at UNC or JHU rolls out of bed.

The comment was made the your son would be better off at a "boutique" school or smaller D1 - in terms of getting a job, I don't believe that to be true. The argument was not Big Ten vs Ivy

Bottom line, Michigan is a GREAT school with a LOUSY lacrosse program. Not much different than Colgate or Dartmouth

For The Love of the Game Poachers
FL$$$G
Sent out to all...
Every game will have 6 college coaches rotating players, coaching, and refereeing. When college coaches working our event aren't coaching or refereeing, they are on the sidelines recruiting.
With only 4 fields in play at a time and all fields right next to one another, you are guaranteed to get looks from dozens of college coaches.
fl$ will hire 48 college coaches to work the event. With no more than 100 players per grade at the event, the college coach to player ratio is second to none.
Yeah. OK

I'm curious with the new rules if the 2019s will be heavily recruited this summer. I'm guessing they will. And with all the verbals at this grade, will we see many kids switching schools. They can't speak to their future coaches technically. And technically kids wouldn't know what schools are interested in them until sept. 1st.
