[quote=Anonymous]As the prior poster noted, the only real value a college lacrosse coach has to your family is help in the admissions process. The real jackpot is being a good enough student to qualify for merit based academic scholarship money...which are far more generous amounts than lacrosse GIA athletic money.

There are two types of lacrosse recruits high level D1 coaches want. First are the lights out athletic talent kids who you make needed academic exceptions for and also dump most of your scholarship budget into. That is 1-2 kids a year. For the remaining 9-15 recruits in a class the coaches need to identify strong lacrosse players who are either (1) full pay families with an average or below student kid craving a D1 lacrosse roster spot, or (2) a strong lacrosse player who can also qualify for merit money.

The second is the gold standard for non-lacrosse reasons. Kids who are too students are less likely to cause trouble, be poor students in college and also reflect well as "brochure kids" (read: team GPA). ADs at colleges trying to be both tops in sports an serve being selective schools only care about 3 things from any non-revenue sport team: winning, high academic success with full graduation rates and no troubles.
