Playing a public school team or out of conference team would not apply to the transfer rule. It's only if the player competes in an MIAA game. Playing in a game doesn’t matter for the transfer rule. Only being on a varsity roster. It’s why so many CH kids transfer if they are sophomores on FS or JV- They know their chance at making varsity as an upperclassman is slim.

To get all those freshmen and sophomores in a game. And dissuade them from transferring. Like Reply Quote

"Teams will only be made up players from the 2025 and 2026 class. This is a High School event only....no club teams are permitted to participate" It's always a good idea to take players to watch lacrosse games. They need to see watch how their positions are being played to see what they can do better to improve their own game. Like Reply Quote

He was a tough opponent on the lax field for many years. And he's a great young man off the field too. Let’s be real. Tough opponent because he reclassed a couple times, I’m sure because that’s what dad and mom wanted and not what the he wanted, and he has burned out. He should have graduated last year. I’m happy for the kid. Now he can go live his life. He’s a good kid off the field, which will take him much further than lacrosse ever will. Like Reply Quote

Re: Boys High School Anonymous #398588 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Originally Posted by Anonymous Why would anyone in their right mind transfer from UNC to Towson unless they were flunking out or couldn't afford the tuition? Kids get homesick, miss their support system, deal with family issues. Add to that all of these kids are coming off of Covid and didn't leave their houses for a year? And most of these kdis didnt have a normal recrutment. They did virtual tours, orientations etc etc. That just isn't the same. Its why the transfer portal is bigger than ever and stacked with HUNDREDS of lacrosse players right now. From almost every program in the nation. Even the top ones. Like Reply Quote

Re: Boys High School Anonymous #398745 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Originally Posted by Anonymous The school on the degree matters for .0005% of the world. I disagree. It matters in certain fields. If you want to apply to a top med, law or biz school, a degree from a top academic undergrad will be very helpful to have. If you want to get into finance right out of undergrad it will also matter. That said, I would rather hire a kid from a mediocre college who graduated at the top of his class over a kid who coasted at a top school. Like Reply Quote
