I am sure this won't be too popular with some of the readers on this board, but do read it. As a parent I wish someone had the courage to do this at least a few years ago.[/quote]

Good article. There was a similar one on a lacrosse magazine a few months ago. It's an absurd process. Nothing will change until the coaches agree to some standards.

However, it is self serving for an Ivy school to bemoan this since they can't recruit early even if they wanted. So there is a significant competitive disadvantage for those schools. But the coaches who have left thee to go to non Ivies like UVA and Denver have no problem recruiting early. If the Ivies started to allow early recruiting, I suspect you'd stop hearing from them re this. [/quote]

Well, sorry to burst your bubble but Ivies have gone into this. Penn is now filling recruiting classes before 9th graders finish 9th grade and several Ivies verbally commit kids in 9th grade now. Ivies are part of the lowest common denominator now if we are talking about these extremes. Interestingly the author who is Harvard's AD played college lacrosse and also noted lacrosse and soccer as two sports with this particular problem. This isn't him being a hypocrite to bemoan what ACC schools are doing ad his coaches can't do -- his coaches joined this party some time ago. [/quote]
