As w most of the fall events, they are geared around getting kids recruited vs winning. There will be a ton of coaches there cause it’s the coaches conference at the same time.
D3’s will watch 26’s High D1’s will watch there committed kids and have some of the staff on 27’s Low D1’s a will watch 26’s for a specific need and split staff. to 27’s If your club isn’t using playing time in the Fall to get the uncommitted, committed, they are doing it wrong. |

It is upsetting to not see more Public School Kids in the mix... |

Upsetting to whom? Public school lacrosse is not on college coaches radar. |
Anonymous
Why? |

Why, do you think the lacrosse is good enough? Most of the schools I know of are as good as a good rec team but that is not saying much. Not that many kids play and the ones that do and are very good have no interest in playing crappy lacrosse at "most" publics. I mean some of the privates are pretty bad. So in the end just not enough players to go around and the ones that play at high level will turn to the top privates. It would be nice if we had a ton of kids in the DMV playing great public lacrosse like they do on Long Island or other areas of the north east. |

Also, the last two recruiting classes are overall much smaller given the wrap-up of the COVID 5th years, increasing use of the portal and now the new roster cap all translating to fewer spots for kids. So if a coach is gonna take a risk and recruit someone versus extending a kids' eligibility through the portal, etc., they have to be very good and as safe a bet as you can make on a 16-17 year old kid. Also, outside of the major hotbed areas, you do see more public school kids, but in the northeast and mid-atlantic is majority private school kids who play year-round on national teams. Not saying one is right or wrong. Its just reality now. |

I am guessing this is coming from a parent that cannot afford private school? |

The wrap up of covid 5th years would increase the recruiting numbers, not decrease it. And as of now, we know of only 11 teams that for sure will have roster caps if the deal goes through, and some of those have lived under the cap, anyway. Maybe some basketball schools will opt in, but don't think it's likely more than some will. Another 5 or 10? Recruit numbers will largely stay the same. |

Which 11 schools will have a cap and why only 11? |

Only the Power 5 conferences (now Power 4) are obligated. That's all of the ACC, everyone in the Big 10 but Hopkins, and Utah. |

| It is not just the Power 5 conferences. I know several players from the MAAC, Patriot, and CAA conferences where the coaches said there will be cuts to limit roster to 48 come spring 2026. Even though some schools are not opting in - they are still capping roster to 48. |
