I hate to break it to you but those individual player rankings don't mean much....coaches have said so themselves.....which has been shown during the recruitment process. |
you misunderstood - my point is the opposite. I believe that these girls could have gone to top ranked lax schools. Maybe not 10 of them but definitely quite a few. I believe that they chose not to. My point is that I am not understanding why that is so unbelievable by some. |
Why does this topic have you scratching the walls? I mean, Iâm enjoying seeing you melt down like this but am genuinely confused why this matters so much to you. |
Yes, can we bring back the effervescent âsmorgasbord of commitmentsâ poster? Itâs the only reason Iâve been returning to this thread. |
No worries, you're not breaking anything to me. BC has 10 recruits. 4 - 5 star, 3 - 4 star 3 - N/A UNC has 9 5 - 5 star, 3 - 4 star 1 - N/A NW has 6, I think a 5 and 2 4s. And 2 from midwest and west, typical for them and often not rated. When they come to DC, they grab the All Met POTY, or a 5 star in Baltimore, not half the Capital team. They and UNC and BC have classes that are proxied by ratings. They're doing a bad job of not matching up. So no, all the unrated Cap players, from what is a pool of at least 1-200 or many more unrated players, aren't begging off offers en masse. |
Really just trying to help folks set expectations. I think it's sinking in for them, but I guess it's a long slog for them. Watching the game. Walls untouched, though that's a new one on me, will look it up someday. |
Again I don't know where half of the team came from but I am confident a few (never saw half) could have had the opportunity and chose against. One parent stated it here. I am not sure why anyone would lie about that. |
No one has said there would or could not be a few with an opportunity or 2. And again, no one has accused the PP about lying about their kid. |
Seriously?

One thing you're also completely missing is that a lot of these ratings are done by appearing at certain events hosted by Inside Lacrosse and certain INDIVIDUAL showcases or invite only events (Politics) where evaluation may happen. These can be expensive individual recruiting showcases, not team events. CapBlue has a very strict attendance policy, which conflicts with and limits players' ability to attend most of these costly, unnecessary events that could probably get more of them rated. A player doesn't need a five or four star rating or any of those individual showcases or rankings to get recruited; that is the whole point. A player can also pay to be evaluated by inside lacrosse. It seems CapBlue wants the players to focus on the team and team building, not going to individual showcases to try to get four and five stars. Cap Blue players have never needed these star rating to get recruited. And for the most part, many cap blue players match up against these 4/5 star players on the field and at tournaments while coaches are watching. Google about the star ratings and you'll get all kinds of information about the inconsistencies and the politics with it. It's even worse on the boys side- a player will not have a star rating and then they get committed and suddenly they're a five star! |
| Please just stop, they're not all getting offered and bid on between NW, BC and UNC. This has become dumber by the hour. |
Coach - itâs time you give up this ghost. |

âThese can be expensive individual recruiting showcases, not team events.â
Are you now saying that Cap parents canât afford these showcases but other programs families can? Hilarious how this keeps shifting. |
Not understanding where anyone said that!!! You are the only one saying it! |
