Very Debatable. A couple of duds in there and no Princeton, or Cornell, no Boston College, no Northwestern, or Stanford, UNC…. It’s a great list but not the best ever.

Hold your horses! There's a Capital Blue Princeton Commit in the mix! For many players lacrosse rankings are about as important as last week's laundry. Quite a few girls had offers from those schools you mentioned; they just decided to take a different road. The top 10 players in Capitol could have strutted their stuff at any of those schools if they wanted.
Why settle for Boston College when you can aim for the Ivy League? Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, or even Duke — now that's a buffet of choices! Especially if lacrosse rankings don't even tickle your fancy.

Lol. The top 10 girls all had offers at BC, NW and UNC, they just decided to go to Dartmouth instead. Now, that's funny.



Dartmouth over BC ANY day. Dartmouth is ranked 15th among all universities and has a 6% admission rate compared to BC's #37. The player would not have to deal with fifth years or the transfer portal. Also, there's a higher probability of playtime as a freshman. Being able to play freshman year and not deal with the transfer portal or 5th years is significant on the list of must-haves for some of these recruits. Some would take Dartmouth over BC, UNC, or NW. Even 5-star recruits and top 10 in the class of 2026 might not see the field as a freshman at a couple of those highly ranked lacrosse schools. These are factors that players consider when they're making their decisions. You obviously are not dealing with the process or been through the process to appreciate some of these nuances.

So the ivy leagues do not do the transfer portal or fifth years? Why is this important factor?

The funny part is Cap parents continually stating that they all have the option at the other schools. Dartmouth is a great school.
Pretending they're all top recruits at the top lacrosse schools is embarassing. Should just be proud with what they've accomplished.

It seems some parents are just eager to broadcast their allegiance to the sport their kids love. What is wrong with turning the car into a rolling fan club? It's like they're saying, 'Look at me, I'm the proud parent of a future lacrosse superstar!' Cringe-worthy? Perhaps. But hey, at least they're passionate about something other than traffic in DC. I doubt they care what you think so cringe away.

is this really how you sound or is it AI as was suggested? hoping the latter

to be clear...this is not your typical "Capital" magnet...actual government issued tags....that is some serious passion

The much, much larger factor is there are better players up and down those rosters. So players go where there is their own balance between possible playing time and all the other factors, including academics.

I don't think people are pretending. I think there's capital players that received emails, calls, offers from all different schools including top 10. The issue is all of these posters criticizing and ragging on the players choices. Just because it's not Northwestern or BC. Even if you're a top 10 player in the 2026 class, you're probably gonna be sitting the bench freshman year at BC or NW. WHO wants to go to that school even if they got a call or offer. Let's see how much playtime Ava Fossati gets at BC... I don't think most of posts are cap peeps. Probably trolls or JEALOUS HATERS

So now your jealous of how someone writes and where their kid will play lax? You gotta take a break from here! You need to detox from this forum and take a big deep breath and a big break.

Then your rant should be directed at those trolls and jealous haters who keep posting that the team could go to all the best teams in the country if they wanted. Because that's what trolls and haters always say.

I thought we would not need this again today, but we do!

A friendly PSA reminder----

I copied this from the above link. It is a very healthy approach.

Only a measly 3% of high school lacrosse players actually make it to play Division 1 in college. Seriously, let that sink in before you start tearing apart a family's choice or a player's decision to attend a particular school!


“You have to remember that everyone is coming from a different spot. Some folks will use the recruiting process to get into the best academic school possible, regardless of the money involved. For others, the main focus is lowering the cost of college as much as possible. Some families are focused on playing for the "best" lacrosse program they can play for. All these decisions are fine as long as they meet the family's needs.
Trying to put your priorities onto other families' choices just doesn't make sense since everyone is coming from a slightly different place.”

It really all goes back to what we have been saying from the beginning different choices for different families.

some people can't believe anyone would pass up a top ranked lax program for a low ranked ivy

some people can't believe anyone would pass up a D1 program for a high academic D3

some people want to go to the program that can get them the lowest cost

everyone has different priorities - the issue is truly that it is very difficult to be in someone else's shoes

congrats to everyone and yet again for those of us 26 parents that are still looking for the right fit - "comparison is the thief of joy"
