[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Young men get into college December of their senior year. Lacrosse verbal committing as freshmen or sophomores is a self esteem building exercise for white upper lass emotional invalid kids and their status mongering parents. It is impressive to apply and get into a great university, but don't confuse that with this. [/quote]

Out of touch and bitter much? The market for lacrosse players is skewing younger and the Ivy League is moving to a younger recruiting cycle, too. It is not necessarily a good system, but it is the reality. While a commitment in the Ivy League is not a guarantee of admission, it is both a validation of the player's athletic and academic bona fides. If you don't like hearing that lacrosse kids have their college house in order and you believe that it is all about status for the kids and the parents, you need to look in the mirror and figure out why someone else's good news makes you unhappy and/or jealous. The competitive approach to parenting in the DC area is becoming so prevalent that we seem to miss the accomplishments of the young student athletes as we seek to attribute negative motives to player and his parents. Pretty sad. [/quote]
