Late to the game here. yes Georgetown is a great school but their lacrosse program has never succeeded its own hype. |
ECU has a lot going for it. Entire coaching staff are Duke alums and KK own daughter is on the team. It wouldn't be such a bad team if she allowed her daughter to play there, would it? Plus it reminds me of an old Elon. Good old boy country, instead of the wokies that populate Elon now a days. Don't forget, this is lacrosse we are all talking about here. |
What?? Academically on par with Radford and has a similiar party scene, especially around Halloween. |
|
Way to make it sound even better!
Seriously- it will be a good team in a few years. |

I know this is hard to believe. But not all lacrosse players want to go to the top 10% of academic schools. It's not for everyone just like going to a top 20 lacrosse program is not for everyone.
Good lord some of you are just bitter and clearly enjoy tearing kids down for accomplishing something few ever do - committing to play collegiate athletics. |
I'm happy for the player, but what does this even mean? I'm from NC and scratching my head. |
Few? There's like 10s of thousands. |

Come on, these reactions to local kids committing to schools like Cincinnati and ECU shouldn't exactly be a surprise. FGS, posts on other threads are making fun of Capital players committing to Delaware and Villanova.
Washington DC has most highly educated population in the country and its obvious when you watch the way people parent here. The kids who play lacrosse here tend to be UC and UMC. Add in there that the best lacrosse high schools here are largely privates that cost in the $40-50k range and it’s really no surprise that established clubs like Capital are admired foremost for sending players to top academic schools like the Ivies, Duke, JHU, Stanford, Northwestern, Notre Dane, Vandy, and the NESCACs. Few want less selective schools. How many posts on this forum discuss using lax to help a kid get into a school with admissions in single digits and low teens? Too many. This isn’t Long Island or Baltimore or Upstate NY. Lax in the DMV serves a different purpose for many/most families Knowing all that should put the reactions to kids committing to less well known and less selective colleges as no surprise. |
https://scholarshipstats.com/varsityodds#:~:text=Overall%20a%20little%20over%207,at%20NCAA%20Division%20I%20schools. 7% of high school athletes play in college. That is few. |
Best to pray that those kids are in the 7%. |
| Looks like a Capital B team player committed to Denison (D3.) Congrats to her! |

Good news for that player. i was wondering how the timing worked for D3 schools. I know that D1 is allowed to start offers on September 1 of Junior year. Is it the same timing for D3 schools? For some reason, I thought it was September 1, Senior Year, but guess I am wrong. |

For some reason, I thought it was September 1, Senior Year, but guess I am wrong. No NCAA rules for D3s. Individual conferences, like NESCAC, have rules. NESCAC is July 1 prior to senior year. Kids who want top academic D3 (and great lax) usually wait for those schools. |
| VA Metro also has a 2 at Cincinnati, JMU, UAlbany, Winthrop, Mary Washington along with the Michigan commit. Looking pretty solid. |
Great for girls who want to play lax in college no matter what or where. Not great for kids who want to go to a top rate college and play lax. Michigan is awesome. Otherwise, well . . . yikes. |
