No it is not the responsibility of the reader to verify your statement. If you can’t backvit up don’t write it. It’s nit even remotely reasonable. You wrote it as if you KNEW the information. Now we all see it was a guess on your part. Why don’t you PROVE your statement? What a loser

I second the original post... judging from the tone of your response - truth is too close to home...
sorry, Early recruiting is done. UNC, Hopkins (greatest offenders) had missed on too many reclassified and early bloomers... FACT.

...and we ALL Dont have to think too hard for first hand examples, of where reclassified diminished returns, from coaches and player perspectives.

No it doesn’t hit close to home, my son is a Junior in a public school. I don’t know a single hold back. What I’m taking from this is that your sons are less than average players. Your excuse for their lack of ability is to claim “holdback” at every turn. That’s what I take from your tone! It’s true isn’t it?

This is true. Was also wondering......are there actually any Cham boys in college making an impact on their team besides Fowler? Seems like mostly LI public school boys are game changers in college this year.

HAHA! So, you are comparing 1 HS's (Chaminade) volume of impact players vs the entire combined LI public HS player pool?? ...you set a high bar!!

BTW - How many LI HS do you know that claims (5/6) class 2017 players, starting on D1 Programs as Freshman??

Yes, lots of Chaminade players have made, and, are making impactful contributions to their teams. But, what does that have to do with reclassified players?

Locust valley was by far the better team .
They have many D1 can’t miss players on the team.
Chaminade looked beaten the whole day
LV is pretty close to a lock for state championship.
They dominated in every phase of the game.

All the players who are attending or attended Chaminade were not developed by Chaminade. Chaminade has the luxury of having players attend from all over Long Island. The best players who also have strong academics that have been the best players early on in the lacrosse community. Unlike public schools who rely on the pool of players within their community. Look at the luxury they have. Who else has that luxury. How many good to great players attend chaminade and never play. I would consider it a failure if they are not the best program in the country every year. What other school has the pool of players that Chaminade has. Some may say St. Anthony's but I think that the academic rigors that Chaminade has differentiates it. It takes a very committed student athlete to attend and also the all boy aspect.

Dads who cry reclass have underachieving sons! Fact!

Well, if that is the case and there are that many Freshman Chaminade grads starting at D1 programs then clearly there chemistry and or coaching problems at Chaminade.

CHS is one that comes to mind, and the one kid from there is tearing it up at Virginia! Which Cham freshman have done anything?

I'm not sure what scrimmage you were at, but it could not have been the one between Chaminade and Locust Valley on Tuesday. If they kept score it was approximately Chaminade 24, Locust Valley 3. Why all the hate? Locust Valley is a quality squad for the size school they are, but not in the same league as the big boys. With the numbers they have, it would be very difficult. They have a couple players that bounced out of SA (didn't know that was possible), that are two of their better players.

Umm, Calvert Hall and IMG come to mind.

First to say Chaminade is NOT for everyone... The successful Chaminade student must have courage to weigh the potential athletic frustrations, with the opportunity for strong academics and religious education.
The top Chaminade lacrosse player's profile defines (college) "top program" differently than D1 NCAA top 20 polls... Cham player views Prestigious Academic Institutions as "top programs ...

Ahhh... just did. If you are that interested, it's not too hard to figure out...
...not about to start dragging in names, when the kids don't even know this is a topic of discussion...
BTW- good for that CSH kid... he is a heck of a player and having a great year!

Why would you be worried about naming names of kids who are excelling, unless there are none? Nobody asked you to tell about the kids who pooped the bed. Enough about this elitist Chaminade crap. There are a ton of public school kids excelling at top 20s. I’m still waiting for the answer to the question about how many Chaminade grads are excelling at D1 Lacrosse in college this year besides Fowler??

How come there aren’t any Chaminade stand outs in college this year?? You would think they would be more stat leaders with all the hype. Sounds like a lot of Smoke and mirrors to me.

On the flip side the public school kids have been playing together since second grade and with the better programs have been taught the same system that the HS runs, you would think that should count for something when putting a team on the field.

Huge win for the program. Should put them in the top 5 for multiple polls since McDonogh was top 5 in all 3 major ones

I think Chaminade won't lose a game this year. They are that good. Before you comment, name a weakness they have.

1.Parents writing checks their kids can't cash.
