[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 9th grader wants me to purchase film from his last tournament, in which he admittedly did very well.  He wants to create a highlight tape.  He hopes to be recruited, probably by a D3 school.  Is a highlight film really necessary for lacrosse players to get recruited?  [/quote]

A 9th grader who has chosen his college already . Fist time I've heard of that [/quote]

If that's the first time you've heard of this, then you're not very connected in competitive lacrosse circles.

Across the country, two dozen high school freshmen - who have never played a second of a JV high school lax game yet, let alone varsity - are already committed to Division I schools.

It's terrible - a race to the bottom, and yet the biggest programs in the country can't stop themselves because they're afraid if they don't lock up this year's hot 14-year-old, a rival will.

Unfortunately, some of these kids lose their work ethic and stop listening to their high school coaches. In fact, many of the programs that have gone in the heaviest on recruiting the youngest kids have been struggling in recent years, as these prematurely recruited kids don't work out in college. Maybe that will be the thing that ultimately slows this trend.[/quote]
