BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) 2021-2022 Women's DI-III College Lacrosse Season

We have the Committed Games in Philly next weekend.
Have there ever been any decommits as a result of performance at these games?

How about an increase in scholarship monies?

Congratulations to all of those teams and individuals that made the IWLCA Academic Honor Squad. Those teams that did not make it...you can [Censored] talk other teams all you want about lacrosse - college is about the education first and foremost.

Congratulations indeed!

Stanford looking good again. Won the committed academy. UNC and Duke looked good too

Those schools HIGHLY recommend that all their 22-23 commits play. Other schools do not.

Stanford player also MVP of Under Armour. I’m hearing they may go Big Ten along with ND

Rumor was last year Stanford had the best recruit class. How did that work out?? Now more Stanford nonsense.... they are going to Big 10 with ND? Cmon, please read the information out there......why would the Big 10 have Stanford join their conference. Stanford sports on a whole are mediocre at best. Stanford Football??? Wlax would get whipped in Big 10.

Why so angry? The top recruit redshirted because of an injury. She’s fine now. Thanks for asking. Was your daughter snubbed by Stanford? As for Stanford sports, pretty sure they have more NCAA championship than any other school. Some people should educate themselves before opening their ignorant mouths

Why so much ego? Stanford is an amazing educational institution, congratulations! They are not a top 10 team in womens lacrosse. Everyone deals with injuries.

Nobody claimed they were top 10…yet. They do have some great recruits and current players and have the talent go further than they have in the past. Somehow you became defensive when it was pointed out that they had a great summer winning the committed academy and having the UA MVP. You are also the one who poked fun at “what happened to the #1 recruit” of course all teams have injuries, who said they didn’t? You seem awfully negative on Stanford, why?

Win some games in the PAC before you start talking about top 10.

Lol, guess you didn’t hear that Stanford is PAC 12 champions. Every time you comment you make yourself look more and more like a jealous fool

Congrats on PAC 12 champs. How did that East Coast trip go for ya. 1 Win (Albany)...3 losses (Cuse, Richmond, Virginia). But they are top 10...cmon man

What school(s) does everyone think will get the most 5th year transfers ?

Congratulations to all daughters that have been offered a spot at ANY D1 school.

Only if your daughter plays at BC, Maryland or UNC is it a success.

Is it common place for girls to quit playing D1 Lacrosse? My daughter's school has had 4 already this Fall and talk of more to come. Does this happen all the time?

I was coursed with the task of following the entire 2013 class through graduation for USA lacrosse. It wasn’t easy but many Excel sheets later there was a 43% loss of lacrosse players over the four years from 2013 to 2017.

It’s like having two full time jobs in college if you play a D1 sport! It’s Very exhausting and many girls get burnt out and are miserable trying to do both well. The girls then realize what’s the most important job and choose to drop Lacrosse and think about their futures.

I edited the numbers as I found my final report. I was coursed with the task of following the entire 2013 class through graduation for USA lacrosse. It wasn’t easy but many Excel sheets later 45% played significant minutes in their last year. Another 17% were on roster but did not play significant minutes. 38% no longer played.

So, sounds like 1/2 no longer “played” D1 lacrosse by their last year. Something definitely to think about when picking a college! Choose a college you will be happy at, as if you were not going to be playing lacrosse there. Don’t let the schools lacrosse be the deciding factor.

So many great D2 and D3 schools that would probably be better fit and experience for girls. However, they have in their head that they want to go to a D1 school for the sport. Do lots of homework on different schools.

Pretty sure Baldbear looked at all levels DI DII DIII. I would be willing to be that the more competitive you get in the DI ranks the majority of players continue to play. By the way, where do you come up with 50% at the DI level? The number cited was 38% which means that 62% are still playing and I believe those numbers count players with career ending injuries. I bet if you look at Top 20 programs 80% plus are still playing in their senior year maybe higher.

So, sounds like you are pushing your own narrative / agenda.

Bald Bear thank you for the leg work and please correct me if I am wrong.

He stated 38% no longer play, and 17% were still on roster but did not play significant min. So, basically 38 + 17 basically no longer “play” by their last year. Doesn’t that equal 55% basically not playing in their last year? I just did his math. Not my narrative

Many talk as if someone chooses a D1 school that is not in the top ten as nobody. First, all of our girls are competitive at this level. How many girls playing on a top team are really going to be happy riding the bench or maybe seeing live action in one or two games? How much $ are they really getting to attend these schools? How much debt will they have coming out? What happens if there is a coaching change and they weren't recruited by new coach? Our daughters can make names for themselves in lower level lacrosse schools with some very high level academics, playing, getting a great education, some play close to home and will have very little debt. This is to be celebrated all the way around.

Any Word on mid season transfers? Heard one leaving UNC? Didn’t get name so could be a rumor as well.

All the time they are discussions about high school players that either never pan out, or are the superstars they were expected to be. No one ever mentions the exponentially greater level of training, lifting, practice speed, film, and general level of “ professionalism” that goes along with college lacrosse! Kids from hotbed areas have had more training during ms and hs, yes, but those kids enter college with , in general, little what I call “spare capacity”. Soo maybe coaches like Spallina has a knack for spotting the girls who, maybe their parents didn’t throw down money for every single exposure opportunity, every chance to be set by IL contributors, for funding and grabbing the real diamonds in the rough. My guess is Amonte-Hiller has that same knack.
North, Scane, Gilbert, Hall and a few others all started relatively late (6th grade I think I read) never looked to see which of them had over of those storybook high school careers, but someone did their homework, chose not to after the low hanging fruit, and identified those with the biggest perceived room to grow at the college level. With the likes of IL and USAlax citing hs “superstars “ in the hotbeds, the real stars might be missed, and the soo called experts evaluations might more often than not be needed to be taken with a grain of salt.
Soo I think part of my point, kinda buried a little, is that how the girls do in college is every bit of if not more a reflection of how they adapted to the college level and intensity of training, not soo much what they speed up with on the first day of college practice

Could be the least knowledge post ever . Of course Spallina and Amonte go after your so called low hanging fruit . The problem with SBU is it is a commuter school that really does not offer near the college experience of many of these other schools
