Private school?

All I know is that I see their coaches at all major tournaments and showcases. I think they are aggressively recruiting and building up their program.

Are you truly that clueless?

Up and coming school recognizing that they are more or less in a lax hotbed, and that laxers generally are full-pay, well-connected, 1 % families. Smart move to build up its lax program.

"laxers generally are full-pay, well-connected, 1 % families"

This is laughable.

What is laughable is parents lack of knowledge. CNU is a public college. They are D3 and as any D3 they do not offer any athletic money. There are many other D3 schools in the same area.

Whatev. Check out the rosters of any of the top D3 schools that are very difficult to get into without a hook. Lax provides that hook for privileged, upper middle class, non-diverse kids. Getting into place like Amherst based mainly on your ability to swing a stick and throw a rock, priceless!

I was going to mention that aspect but I didn't want to completely embarrass him.

Are you suggesting that you need a hook if you are "non-diverse"? Or, if your parents have good-paying jobs? Those are bad things? Or, things that hurt your college admissions prospects?

This conversation has NOTHING to do with CNU. CNU is a public university that accepts kids from mostly Northern Virginia Public schools. I agree it is improving. It used to be a community college. Now it is a top choice for many NOVA kids and they will pay IN STATE tuition. Lacrosse players are a very small % of the student population. There is no comparison with other private D3 schools such as Amherst, Tufts, or even W&L. They are not going after the same students. A "hook" is not necessary to get in to CNU.
