How many private school kids from Maryland could not make it. 2 Examples - Jackson Marshall (Goalie) and Cole Herbert (MF) from CHC were on that incredible CHC team that won 3 MIAA championships in a row. Both were recruited heavily and tops in their class. Marshall was a commit to Maryland in 8th grade even before all the championships. Herbert was a lacrosse and Fottball power (Recruited bu Rutgers to play football there). Went to UNC to play lacrosse. Where are they now? Marshall never played in a game at Maryland and was cut with Ruppel replacing him. Herbert never made it through UNC. Transferred to Towson and he is on no rosters as of yet for football or lacrosse, including the U.S.A. lacrosse team which he was a part of. . I am sure that there are hundreds of these scenarios. Just have to open your eyes. Private schools will provide greater opportunities through connections and opportunities to be seen in a much easier way. However, talent is talent and yes a lot of talent go to private schools.
Yes, there are many kids from private schools who went to good D1 lax schools, played for the team, and then decided to opt out and quit. Many in that covid 2020 SR class you mention for whatever reason.
I'd say it's nice to have that option to opt out, as opposed to never having the chance if you went to PS.
