The recruiting proccesss up until this year was a complete joke.

Fast forward to today, college coaches can’t commit kids prior to them entering their junior year of HS. As a result of this change, colleges will take their time to evualate prospecticd playeee and will solicit input from HS coaches. Under the previous rules they couldn’t rely on HS coaches input because half the times college were making offers to kids who weren’t even on the varsisty rosters yet alone the varsisty coaches had never even coached the kid.

Let me ask you this.... who do you think a college coach would listen to in this situation . A club coach who is hyping his own player up because he happens to be on the roster of that stellar 2020 Club team or the HS coach who happens to watch the kid 6x a week in practice and happens to have visibility of the kids work ethic in the classroom.

I don't agree. My kid exclusively got recruited through his high school. Not even sure they talked to his club coach. And he didn't go to an IAC school or Gonz
Do they listen to someone like Bordley? Yes. A handful of HS have coaches and staffs that command a lot of attention. But these recruiters don't have any interest in 99% of the schools, especially the public ones. They make assessments at summer/fall recruiting team/individual events, and then follow up with club coaches.

The new rules are great, but they are not supporting your bizarre agenda.

Coaches contact Bordley about players outside of Landon as well...I am sure this is the case with other trusted HS coaches.

Yes. To go to any college (family doesn't care), come back, get a job in commercial real estate, have dad set you up with a junior membership at Congressional or Columbia Country Club, have kids, scream like a maniac at CYO basketball games and club lacrosse games, then burst with pride when your son goes to Gonzaga so that you can put that bumper stick on the car.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

This sums up several Gonzaga and Prep alums roaming around Columbia Country club hardly having to work.

To the poster asking about how many freshmen typically make the St. Albans varsity lacrosse team, if it's really only 2 or so a year, that seems pretty typical for many of the IAC teams.

Expect quite a few boys from DC Express 2021 will make varsity freshmen year at their various high schools, private and public.

This is good trolling. I actually expect that most of them will be starting in the ACC this year. Several will be Tewaaraton finalists.

Danowski just sent home Rabil and his son from the team USA showcase. Calling up the whole DC Express 2021 team for the World Cup.

DC Express Parents please understand there is a huge jump from playing little boy 8th grade lacrosse to playing varsity. The speed of the game is 10x faster and some of the HS programs in this area are some of the best in the country.

We know Ray McGill and Bobby Horsey are probably telling you in your ear your son is probably the best player they have ever coached and will be a top ACC player someday when they really just want your $$$$

How is DCE 2019 doing in terms of college commits?

Horrible. They had a good defenseman, but he left for VLC and committed shortly afterwards to Bucknell. Outside a very good 2021 team, the program is not very good.

To be fair, VLC 2019 has only one other commit so far as I know.

Sure, sure. Keep telling yourself that. Then get real and take a look at the factual info out there on both schools alums: famous alums, alum giving, endowments. Not even close, STA wins by miles.

Dont know of any that are at all impressive. The Next Level commits for 2019 are pathetic. Schools that either you have never heard of or that you would only attend as a last choice option.

How are the 2019 VLC players doing with commitments?

Can someone post a link for Next Level and VLC commitments? I can't find them. Mad lax 2019 seems to be rolling along.
