no the joke was talking about an athletic offer with a 14 year old in a sport that doesn't generate any money and that no one cares about. Let the kids grow up concentrate on their grades and then make an informed college decision with a clue. You parents pushing for professional lacrosse players are INSANE. When your kid does play in college there will be 75 people watching the games 50 parents and 25 stragglers.
We know people 2 ACL injuries later that are still pushing their kids. For what? Atthis rate they wont even be able to walk to coach their own kids in 15 years I know, right, really all youth sports should be cancelled. Fitness, health, sportsmanship, life lessons, better opportunities getting into schools, friendships, contacts, fun, are all trash. You could stump your toe and have it all go South. Good call, dude, what in the heck have all of us nuts been doing all of these years? Gym too, I mean tons of risk associated with gym, gotta stop the madness. Shouldnt we all be wearing rubber helmets?? You guys are great with hyperbole but not to great with making an actual argument.... Because there is zero argument to support the benefits of recruiting a 13 year old. Now there is an argument that the authorities should take away the kids from a parent like Todd Marinovich had. Some of you sound like that guy!

We can be given no credit at great hyperbole, rather, you just gave us what we call in the sports world, a softball. [/quot Wow did you just prove my point

did anyone go to Summer genesis? were there college coaches watching the 2019 - 2020 age groups?? I hear all different things about the effects of this rule change- coaches giving no feedback or any info through the back channels (club directors) and some say its business as usual and coaches are still sending info through these proxies to recruits they are interested in.

Plenty of coaches were in attendance, that's the good news, the bad news is that all your LI 2020 teams lost to all the MD teams and one from FLA, in general a bad showing for LI.

Doesn't matter if you are "committed" or not, no contact until September 1 or Junior year.

Yes they are in the dark - no contact till Junior year They can have contact - i.e. If they run into one another at tourneys/camps etc. but there can be no recruiting conversations. Small talk is not prohibited and this is what is happening which offers a bit of reassurance to those committed and those that were in the pipeline before the rule change.

The Cornell Coach spoke at the United Showcase on Friday. He said that the boys should focus on grades and enjoy lacrosse for 2 years. They can only speak to a player at a camp or showcase and only about their ability and what they can do to improve. No talk about the team, positions available, scholarships, campus life or anything else like that. They can also speak to a coach -HS or travel about you as a player and your ability. But not about your prospects about joining a team.

According to the Showcase on Friday, it applies to all. Inside Lacrosse has the details according to them, and the coaches stressed that it is the players and the coaches responsibility to know the rules

Doesn't matter if you are "committed" or not, no contact until September 1 or Junior year. I saw a Coach openly conversing with his 2020 commit last weekend. So you are wrong sir.

He's not wrong - coach can talk to the kid about the Yankees, but nothing about recruiting etc...so yes, the kid is in the dark about everything he really wants to talk to the coach about

They can talk about anything but the program, scholarships, availability of spots or likeliness of making the team or not.

Ty says plenty of coaches at 2019 and fewer at 2020 games this past weekend. While the frenzy might be over, coaches are keeping an eye out.

Keeping a eye out and having to make a commitment are two different things. College coaches can actually watch for a year or two of HS and then make a better informed decision now. Of course Sept 1 the phone bills will spike at all colleges.

The relevancy is that he may actually know him with some personal interaction ( majority of us know him thru TV and reading) . Struggle with reading comprehension in school??

Sorry the truth hurts. Most recruits never see the field. Nobody cares. The difference is that I would never brag about my son at a family gathering, I let his performance speak for itself and it's others that brag that they know him.
