Why is being a Turtles parent seen as negative anyway? Are we in middle school or something? No clue. But they still do ride the success of the 2017 super team. They haven’t had anything close to that in their reboot. You’re talking club right? In HS? Wow that’s lame! It sure is. Brands, rankings, etc don't matter anymore. Not to your kid and his future anyway. Not sure the point. But what does matter of your son wants to in college, and not committed, the summer opportunities that club provides is key imho Sounds weak, all for what? A few thousand dollars? Whatever you spend on club lacrosse you will NEVER recoup in scholarship money. Don’t fully agree. Yes, there are schools that give way more academic money vs athletic. And we all obviously know no athletic money in D3. However, lax can help with admissions for D3. And there is a lot of athletic scholarship opportunities in D1 and D2. I know plenty of kids (parents) who are going to at least break event on club costs because of scholarships.

It's gone awfully quiet in here.
How's recruiting going for everyone?

Alot of good players found spots pretty quickly in the class. There are plenty of spots still available at good programs. May not be first choices but most kids left aren't true D1 talent. Maybe they will land at a D1 program as a filler spot and never play. If that's their dream school, then it's probably worth it. If they really want to play lacrosse in college there are also plenty of programs - D2 and D3 that will provide that opportunity.

So if your son really wants play there is always D2 and D3…interesting….All these kids are brought up to think D1 or bust. And then left scratching their head going from prospect day to prospect day,

Waste of time unless you're an elite player. Watch D1 teams and how many kids actually get to play - especially underclassmen. Better opportunities to PLAY in D2 / 3, And some very good schools out there.

That is 100% true here on this board. simple check. If your 2025 son is not starting on his HS team this spring, you might want shift the focus to a D3 or a D2 school. And that is totally fine, it’s about finding the right fit.

Top end D3 significantly may be better fit than D2 and bottom half D1 depending on the player.

There are PLENTY of kids who are D1 talent who don't want to put the work in during college to actually play D1 and that's fine. It's a full time job. Some kids just want to play for fun and have a normal college experience.
