[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting so on this thread we have future d1 scholarship athletes and olympians [/quote]

Most posters seem to be saying quite the opposite. No one on our travel team thinks their kid is playing in college. [/quote]

Oh I definitely think given the track record multiple kids on my son’s club team will be playing d1 and 2 lacrosse. They have recruitments every year including siblings of kids on the team. I doubt there is any scholarship money though and I don’t think the parents need it.z [/quote]

Lacrosse isn’t that hard to play for college.  I have family members who got D1 scholarships after playing high school only and the went pro for a tiny paycheck.  Also football and hockey with the hockey players putting much more time into their training.

I know quite a few college athletes, a percentage that went pro.   What I didn’t see were kids who were straight A students in all the AP classes who were also D1 athletes.    Yet I’ve never seen a poster whose child is on track to play in college D1 acknowledge that their grades are average.   [/quote]

You sound completely out of date for both the sport and current athlete gpa’s and regardless, that post was about the likelihood of recruiting as if it doesn’t happen.

It most definitely does.[/quote]

I know it’s changed in terms of how many kids want to make the teams.   I know about past and current GPAs.   Besides the Ivy leagues who play against each other there’s no lacrosse or hockey or basketball or football team where the team players all have 4.0 GPAs.  Not even close.

The D1 athletes must have a 2.3 GPA for admission to the school.  Recruiters will make sure the top athletes get that 2.3 GPA.   [/quote]
