No 28 team for VLC. Not enough kids showed up.

No 28s need to worry about NCAA roster cap settlement 'rule.' It's not an actual rule and if schools try to enforce it there will be a lawsuit. The cap won't withstand further legal challenges and won't be around long, if at all.

Naive and wishful thinking.

The NCAA proposal will never happen, too many people negatively impacted. It will take years and years of court battles before any of this is settled. Current rules will remain in effect for next 5 years.

So many dime store attorneys on DCUM. First, this is a settlement to be approved between parties on both sides that have agreed to terms. The challenge period for those that are actually named parties (i.e. schools that are part of the NCAA) is expected to take months, max 6. If the judge herself is ok with it (one person, not legal continuances and court dates to deal with), the NCAA will make a rule.
If it then takes years and years, it's because they have a rule in place so people actually have something to sue about. lt'll then be locked in for that strech that you say will be years and years. I don't think you understand how any of this works.

Anyone have ideas on how the DMV teams are looking for 2024/25 now that teams have had try-outs?

Inside lacrosse had a good article on this. Take away was that the new rule would have minimal effect on roster sizes (which were already trending smaller after covid-era) and won’t result in more scholarship money accept at the margins (maybe 1-2 extra at the few schools that compete for national championships and have strong alum support in terms of money). So it will be more in line with what 25/26 classes have seen: rosters shrinking somewhat over time, but nothing dramatic either way in terms of numbers and money.

omg the last one, born January 2008 reclass to 2028. what a joke! he will be 20 when he graduates high school! Many of them will be 20 the summer after high school graduation. Can you imagine your kid being 18 their 10th grade year🤣🤣.

I love this video! Lacrosse is nuts. I have a 26 too, and this kid is older than my older son and plays against my youngest son. If my 26 played against 28's, it would be stupid. I see it every day in the backyard for gosh sakes! I will say this, it won't pay off in the end. Fast risers early rarely make fast risers late, when it matters. I am seeing it this summer w my 26. Work hard. Improve skill. Get good grades. If the kid is on age and beating up on holdbacks, college coaches notice.

Inside Lacrosse i believe just wrote up this player. "A tall, filled out lefty who can play up top or down low, he caught my eye with an interesting fade during which he fed a cutter in the middle. Can play with more physicality than others his age; (DAH they are not his age he is older!!) he bodied a defender on the ride for a caused turnover. Projects as a quarterback who can facilitate and offense. I’d like to see him further develop his off hand." Maybe IL should add disclaimer (holdback/reclass), regardless the kid could not bring it as a 27 and elected to reclass but in the end as the PP stated it catches up to them when on age kids beat up on holdbacks, college coaches notice.

Like it or not, this is accurate. Like everything in the life of an adolescent boy, self-confidence and mental game mean a lot. If a player builds confidence by going up against kids a year younger and makes plays like those, it gets in his head and becomes how he sees himself as a player. that is why so many players do hold back. The pool of players hoping to get recruited in any given class is roughly 1/3 holdbacks, 1/3 super-athletic on-age kids who can run with the holdbacks, and 1/3 kids who have fallen behind and are going to have a hard time getting recruited.

The team would have stayed together.

With that sent of crybaby parents? Fat chance.

Crybaby parents? VLC had at least three teams implode last year and won the year before that. You seriously think it was the parents? Isn’t it more likely that the organization is totally effed?

Why keep talking about VLC? Who cares about VLC?

bad organization and crybaby parents are not mutually exclusive - to the contrary, they tend to feed on each other

Does partipaion in school fall ball/ team workouts have a large impact on spring making the team/playing time?

My son is playing freshman football and I would prefer that he doesn’t do the lax offseason stuff since he needs to have some time to study and recover. Does this doom him to JV this spring?

Not if he can play and if it's typical for his school that freshmen are on or can make varsity. Some reservation though about categorizing it as "doom him to JV". He's a freshman, he'll live. And depending on the situation, might be the best thing for him.
