[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does this statement mean about Pride 23?

“They had a small number of D1 commits, but that group had the highest average rank of college lacrosse teams among local clubs.“[/quote]

It’s cherry picking - those Cap Blue 23s who chose high academics could have gone to much higher ranked lax programs if they wanted. They were turning down lots of offers and official invite requests after Sept 1 from those schools in favor of better academic options. [/quote]

Clearly the definition of cherry picking is lost on you. The poster clearly stated Pride had a small number of commits. Their comment is based on all commits from all clubs. Not picking and choosing which they wanted to include.[/quote]

“Cherry picking: the action or practice of choosing and taking only the most beneficial or profitable items, opportunities, etc., from what is available.“ The exact definition of what you’re doing. [/quote]

Hmmm...so what recruits were selectively chosen? The reference is to an entire group of D1 commits from each club. Of those who committed to play D1 Pride (a small group, but all inclusive) had players commit to the highest ranked lacrosse programs. That was the statement. If the statement had been about Capital Blue clearly this group had the largest number of D1 commits and leaned towards higher academics. There is no right or wrong answer. Nothing more than noting an interesting stat from a club that offered no help to their players. The prediction asked for really is more about a question...can Pride continue placing players with quality lacrosse programs and can the club increase its commit numbers with their new recruiting director.[/quote]
