Well, well, well, if the future of Capital Blue isn't shining brighter than a supernova!
They've got the crème de la crème with Harvard, Princeton, and Yale- talk about a brainy brunch.

Then we have the elite air of Duke, the woodsy charm of Dartmouth, and who could overlook the
fantastic Midwest marvel that is Michigan?
Rounding it all out are the venerable Holy Cross and the historic charm of William & Mary. And wait, there's more! We're talking about the vibrant buzz of Columbia University, the artsy, outdoorsy vibe of the University of Oregon, and let's not skip over the mile-high mountain city of Denver- truly a smorgasbord of commitments that's sure to make anyone's head spin!

🤣🤣🤣

don't you love this? Just have to add to it when the remaining recruits decide so we have a whole poem. I think I'll print it off and get it framed for the team!

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"

Literally no one has said any of those things. What has been said is that some/many players, who are not 5 or even 4 stars, are choosing great academics even though the very top lacrosse schools are beating down all their doors. They can't just take the win that girls are getting into good schools.

I think you are referring to one post that someone made that although poorly worded may have been kinda true… meaning maybe those top programs did have interest in them but they chose to go Ivy instead. I have not seen this point being made repeatedly though. Just once that can recall.

That poster literally said the top 10 players on the team could've gone to BC, NW and UNC if they wanted to. Which is where this discussion emanated from. Since, we've heard players going to Dartmouth would be shunning BC, etc., and now you saying the OP's take is kinda true. It's not.

This has been going on for a month, not just today. First it was a couple girls, now it's 10. Make the madness stop.

The 2 highest rated players are going to Denver and Fla State. That tracks. And they are not Ivies. And it's not a coincidence.

If you want less pushback from the peanut gallery, it would largely just take not claiming the lightning rod squad is the best at everything.

What tracks is that Capital has eight players heading to top 30 programs, five of which are ivies. Pushback however you want. These are great stats by any definition. Parents and parents are right to be proud.

I see what you are referring to now. Good job getting to the bottom of it. I agree UNC would be amazing for lax, academics and $. I doubt anyone would pass that up.

I know of a player locally and
one from New York that could of played at UNC but each had no interest. They both did not need/want the scholarship money. The players did not want to deal with a school that relies heavily on the transfer portal and fifth years to win games. So playing lacrosse at UNC would NOT be amazing if each year you're dealing with the constant pressure of losing your spot because of the transfer portal and fifth years. It will be interesting to see how much playtime the CavLax player going to UNC gets her freshman year. UNC was noted as the#1 transfer portal ranking on Inside Lacrosse. This is a big turn off for UNC.

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.

I'm beginning to believe the AI typing accusation....buffet? last week's laundry? strutted their stuff?

IKR!!!?? I’m dying trying to think if I can imagine someone actually saying this - it would have to be someone like Betty Boop. It’s pure comedic GOLD!!

Ding ding ding. That’s exactly what some Cap parent was saying. And it is in fact pathetic that she feels the need to pretend her Ivy committed daughter/teammates actually got offers from several of the top ranked teams (that are also academically elite btw). Really obnoxious too. And cringey. And sad really sad.
