"Not referencing this kid at all. This is a comment to pretty much all the other Landon, et al lacrosse kids who are 16 y.o. freshmen. Landon, GP, PVI are just three examples of everything that is wrong with the sport of lacrosse."

Can you elaborate what you mean here?

Seems odd you dont even reference Gonzaga and since the majority of kids from Mater Dei these days are going to Gonzaga, I have to bet they are at least 35% of their freshman class who are currently 16 year old freshman or will turn 16 prior to June 1st.

You are absolutely correct. Landon, Prep and PVI were listed as examples.  Gonzaga is easily another one. This is pretty insipid stuff. Back in the day -- and let's call that day more than 2-3 years ago -- recruits had to show they had the right stuff in the classroom and in their sport until rising senior year. A spot was earned. Now 8th graders who have not done anything to earn it are getting spots. As a parent who went there and did that in a division 1 sport, I find that offensive. If my son told me he wanted to do 8th grade over to profile better for sports recruiting, I'd say not and tell him to stop acting like a sissy. Greatnesss is on the other side of hard work and persistence, selling something else to your kid is a cop out. [/quote]

Lots of blame on one side. The coaches at these schools are the ones accelrating the recruitment. The kids (and the parents) are just delaign with the reality.

Any evidence that this alleged "red shirting" hurts the kids? or doesn't it just annoy other parents.  Get over the ENVY[/quote]
