Regardless though, it's no secret to anyone in the club scene Landon's 2023 class is a "weak class" for their standards. The Bears 2024 and 2025 classes look quite promising as does Bullis 2025 class.

Side note, I wasn't aware that Bullis has a 2023 kid committed to Princeton.

Someone else give him the storytime on Bullis/Princeton 23’. I’m too lazy

This really isn’t a 2023 commit, it’s a 2022 commit who is taking a gap year. Right? He doesn’t count as a 2023 commit and he doesn’t play for DCE 2023 or Bullis’ 2023 class.

Something along the lines of….

He’s twice held back and is technically a Junior, but made the decision last year that he wouldn’t be playing his senior year (next year) and will instead play professionally overseas the year before college to prepare.

Made the decision? That's funny. He is the same age as my son who graduated in 2021. He is already too old to be playing in high school, much less playing next year as well. This is not his "decision" to not play next year.

What is Hammers lacrosse? Who is owner, where is it based, when was it created, who coaches their teams, how many years do the field teams for, etc…?

Never mind. Found their website. Guys, you shouldn’t be bragging… about commitments… or really anything. Just sit down and shhhhhhh.

Almost 30 players is the 21 and 22 classes playing at the next level. Yea if I were in charge of one of the big four clubs I would not want Hammers to let people know either.

At literally crapola schools. If that’s the best they can do there is just no point.

So every kid who does not get recruited to a D1 school is wasting time. Great good to know.

No every kid who committs to a no-name school that is not going to further their education and help them get a job is playing lacrosse in college for the wrong reason. D3s are great as long as they are decent schools. Same for D1s and D2s.

I guess all of these schools close down and abandon the sport.

Program - # committed - #held-back

Thank you!

DCD - 15 - 9
NL - 7 - 5
VLC - 7 - 0
DCX - 3 - 1


Feel free to update/adjust

I think VLC had the most on age and also most are public school I think.

Looking at these numbers and statements, is it fair to say that the financial situation of a family equates to their ability to afford a reclass year, and thus the ability to get recruited?

Looking at these numbers less than half of these are reclassed kids. However one club is an outlier statistically speaking.
