[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone lay out a timeline for recruiting? Seems odd the girls get offers before they've played their Junior and Senior years in high school given lacrosse is a Spring sport. These are key years where girls could really improve? Are they expected to be unbelievable by the end of their sophomore year and ready to pick a college? [/quote]

Will depend on school.  Top 15 will pretty much be set by early October.   Most top 50 program will add least have all scholarship $$ out by New Years (though they will still look for preferred walkons).   Bottom half schools will recruit through the summer targeting kids who fall through the cracks.

High school lax really doesn't matter.  Even at the top maryland private schools, it is rare to even see a coach at a game.[/quote]

This.  High school is not where the recruiting is done - coaches are coaching in the Spring.  Summer after sophomore year is biggest time for evaluations.  Coaches will build their lists for who to contact on September 1st.  Top schools will start filling in commits in Sept/Oct.  Evaluation at Fall tournaments in Oct/Nov are also big as players start to pick schools and schools expand lists for the ones that the don't get (this may be what the PP is getting at), combined with prospect camps those months basically lock up most top schools and players by the holidays. Your "junior" travel season is over by December 1st and coaches have seen what they need to.  Yes, there are some that fall through the cracks and/or schools that swing and miss and have open slots still to fill that will come later, but the bulk of D1 is done by the holidays as coaches are coaching in the spring (lax season basically gets going in high gear after the holiday break). If you are on the recruiting circuit, you should plan to be flexible with your weekends from this weekend (yes Labor Day schools will have you to campus) through the weekend before Christmas.  You never know what may happen, and if someone calls with interest, they may want you on campus in a matter of days for a visit or get you to their prospect camp this weekend.
