How is that still a thing?


How is what still a thing? It’s a reclass academy specializing in getting high school kids to repeat so when they get to college they are bigger, faster and stronger. It takes the financial burden off the colleges and heightens the academy rep by having students attend a higher university.


While there probably are parents and kids who will do anything to say they get to play D1 lax, its the colleges that are pushing families to these schools to reclass. Yes, you typically get kids who are bigger, stronger, faster, but the colleges also get a chance to see the kids playing national schedules against elite competition like what they will play in college and they get to see how the kids handle living away from home, too. Get its not a normal path, but there can be a lot of benefits for kids choosing this path.


Go ahead and have the reclass academies. It's just not realistic to expect traditional high schools to play against them fairly or without undue risk of injury.


I get you have to draw the line somewhere, which Maryland has with 19 vs 20. But the physical safety argument isn’t really borne out by the data on injuries (there’s not a lot, to be fair - kind of a niche area of analysis). The “fairness” argument is more resonant to me anyway, and in that case it opens the door to arguments about playing a soft schedule (publics, non-powers like Maret etc) vs a tough one. From a skill standpoint there isn’t much difference between playing Lawrenceville or Culver than playing Spalding or Calvert Hall (or Haverford or Malvern or the like). If your school schedules these games, and you don’t like it, pull the kid and go to EHS or Potomac or whatever. I don’t get the passion here. There are choices.

How do you compare Lawrenceville or Culver with the likes of a school like Haverford.

Lawrenceville and Culver have PG programs, are boarding schools and recruit nationwide to feed their programs.

Culver and Lawrenceville are the definition of re-class lax factories.

I don't see why IAC or WCAC would waste their time playing them as its not an apples to apples comparison

Is the logic that if you reclass at any time before graduation then it’s different from graduating and then doing a PG year? I see the distinction but not the difference, but to each his own.

No just thought how every team got 3 HMs was interesting. 7/10 goalies got something and felt like SJC players were a little over represented especially given injuries.

How does this work? Do coaches nominate players and there's a vote?

Coaches meet and vote. Hyper political go to shove all their own kids through. Kinda shocked that they actually got POTY right with that Heights kid.

I don't see how it was a head scratcher at all to be honest. He had like 70 CTOs guarding #1's and scored like every game. Single handledly put a that very mediocre team in a close game against us and a lot of others.

Him being a POTY made much more sense then the GZ FOGO being first team, the SJC goalie being second team, and generally insane amount of selections SJC had for being mediocre
