Hope the new rule does go into effect for 2017.

So just a few years ago the “early recruiting” train started down the tracks. I wanted to take a look at the success of it. I was actually shocked about what it looks like. I would expect others have looked at this also.
The class of 2014 first 12 commits as sophomores, 10 of 12 offensive players (1 LSM, 1 G)
Virginia - 6
Hopkins – 2
UNC -2
Maryland – 1
Towson – 1

2 Players are no longer playing D1 – 1 MCLA one looks to be out of lax. Neither the Goalie nor the LSM have any starts in the past 2 years.

Other than 1 offensive player who panned out (over 100 pts) the remaining 7 are see limited playing time with a combined total of 28 pts in 2 years across 7 of the first 12 commits for 2014.

2016 Stats Leaders –
1. Committed as a Jr
2. Cant see when committed, was 181 on laxpower list
3. Committed as a Soph/but changed as a Sr
4. Committed as a Jr
5. Committed as a Sr
