The key question that parents and student-athletes need to ask is whether their Top Ten Academic or Athletic target schools are represented by the coaches attending these recruiting showcases. After all, if your top three target schools are the Universities of A, B, and C while you get noticed by X, Y, and Z College, have you really moved your college search forward?
I agree with Cage but far too often in travel lax the schools that show an interest jump to the top of the players wish list where the student athlete should be targeting schools not the other way around. Once the kids feel the coaches love they move that school to the top of the list. The best advise is don't settle make the school decision as if you will never play another lacrosse game again.
