[quote=Anonymous]Change is coming, but slowly.

It's being driven by the growth of the sport across the US which creates a much bigger supply of high school players for the colleges.

Once most college players came from Baltimore, Long Island and Upstate NY. Starting in the 1990's, the DMV was one of the places colleges looked. Now they look everywhere.

College recruitment here is going to wane. Look at the rosters of the top lacrosse schools to see the increasingly wide geographic spread.

Once families figure out that all this effort and money spent developing and grooming kids with slightly better than average athletic ability people will wake up.

The Gold Rush is inevitably coming to an end. It'll be a situation in which only the truly gifted get advantages in college admission. Lacrosse will be closer to what we see in other sports.

It's been a period of what economist's call "Economic Profit" in which supply was restricted. The market adjusts by producing greater supply.

Parent so the current crop of middle school and even high school lacrosse players are going to face a different world. But the guys running these youth programs are going to tr an keep the dream alive as long as they can.[/quote]
