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.

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.

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.

This is honestly just factually wrong. The only conference not abiding by the NCAA agreement that includes the roster cap is the Patriot League and this has to do with how ice hockey is treated. But yes all the other conferences will be abiding by the cap of 48 on the boys side. Also, the COVID 5th year in theory SHOULD have created space when they aged out but they were not used as one-off's but rather as an additional Red Shirt year, since many stacked their 4+COVID 5th+Red Shirt, giving them 6 years of eligibility. Just check the rosters online at most of the top 20-top 30 schools. And in terms of the numbers being down, having just lived this process, I can assure you numbers are down, but Lax Numbers tracks things pretty closely and you can see the drop off for yourself - https://www.laxnumbers.com/recruits.php. Current '26 class has 643 recruits, granted some may still be committed after the spring season, but not that many. The '25 class had 3,179. The '24 class had 4,495. The '23 class had 4,132. Its not regional. Its a national trend. Before the last two classes, the odds of making a D1 lacrosse roster were 8-10%. Now, its 3-5%. Again, not my numbers, those are the NCAAs.

+100 and Hopkins is abiding by it due to the NIL

The number of players playing d1 has been about 3% for several years that is an easy Google search it was never 10% or even 5% when factoring d2 and d3 only about 25% of the class of 2026 has committed. There will be many more. These numbers you posted are way off.

What does "due to the NIL" mean? Where are you people getting your information from, the sidelines?

I have no doubt there will be some teams starting to control way out of bounds rosters, or even slightly out of bounds.

The OP said "the new roster cap rules". The new roster cap rules affect power 4 conferences. Any school can set their own roster cap, and they very often have (if not almost exclusively have). The number 48 isn't out of the sky, it's the average roster size of Division 1 teams.

Before covid, only a minority of heads in beds schools went nuts with roster sizes. With all the 5th and 6th years with covid years, things got bloated for a while. And roster size (and portal use) was always going to come down from there. Will probably exceed most pre-covid years for rosters out the other end, though some schools (like Syracuse for example) will be smaller.

My guess is long term a school's cap will be a convenient way to cut guys who didn't measure up or keep improving. Refresh with recruits and a couple portals.

Giving the OP the benefit of the doubt, both IL and others have said recruiting is behind this year for the 26s. Maybe it will pick up but if not, 3% just seems super low. Wonder how many clubs advertise that on their 25 person roster that maybe only 1-2 kids will get recruited by D1 programs? Just makes you wonder how much of the build-up by clubs has hidden the fact you mention about numbers always being low. Seem to have missed that in the club team callout notices and clinic emails.

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.

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.

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.

This is honestly just factually wrong. The only conference not abiding by the NCAA agreement that includes the roster cap is the Patriot League and this has to do with how ice hockey is treated. But yes all the other conferences will be abiding by the cap of 48 on the boys side. Also, the COVID 5th year in theory SHOULD have created space when they aged out but they were not used as one-off's but rather as an additional Red Shirt year, since many stacked their 4+COVID 5th+Red Shirt, giving them 6 years of eligibility. Just check the rosters online at most of the top 20-top 30 schools. And in terms of the numbers being down, having just lived this process, I can assure you numbers are down, but Lax Numbers tracks things pretty closely and you can see the drop off for yourself - https://www.laxnumbers.com/recruits.php. Current '26 class has 643 recruits, granted some may still be committed after the spring season, but not that many. The '25 class had 3,179. The '24 class had 4,495. The '23 class had 4,132. Its not regional. Its a national trend. Before the last two classes, the odds of making a D1 lacrosse roster were 8-10%. Now, its 3-5%. Again, not my numbers, those are the NCAAs.

The number of players playing d1 has been about 3% for several years that is an easy Google search it was never 10% or even 5% when factoring d2 and d3 only about 25% of the class of 2026 has committed. There will be many more. These numbers you posted are way off.

Giving the OP the benefit of the doubt, both IL and others have said recruiting is behind this year for the 26s. Maybe it will pick up but if not, 3% just seems super low. Wonder how many clubs advertise that on their 25 person roster that maybe only 1-2 kids will get recruited by D1 programs? Just makes you wonder how much of the build-up by clubs has hidden the fact you mention about numbers always being low. Seem to have missed that in the club team callout notices and clinic emails.

It's 3% of high school players, not club. There are 3,850 high schools playing, and about 75 Division 1 schools. That's about 2%. Given that the Div 1 colleges have 48 players on average and the high school teams fewer, that's how it comes out to 3%.

And you can probably find out if a club team has loads of commitments or not in their past pretty easily, as they generally blast it out any chance they get. Discount it a smidge because some do it even if someone guest played for them.
