[quote=Anonymous][quote]Now, let's look at numbers. Greg Gurenlian just posted on Instagram a stat designed to relax some face off athletes, and it is interesting. 77 D1 programs, 81 D2 programs, and 245 D3 programs. 403 total NCAA men's lacrosse programs. So if you want to play at the next level (college), there is likely an opportunity for you, regardless of what club you play for in high school. It is up to the player to publicize themselves and engage the coaches of the teams they want to play for. Not everyone wants to, or needs to, play for UVA, UMD, Hopkins, Syracuse, etc. There is some really good lacrosse, and more importantly, holistic college opportunities, at other schools.[/quote]

The meaningful stat is that there are about 115,000 male high school lax players and 18,000 college players. That means 15% chance to play in college anywhere, and 3% chance to play D1. Those odds are slightly better than they look because not every high school player will try to get recruited, and some players will decline to play lacrosse if they only get offers from academically inferior schools. Nevertheless, it is clearly not true that you will "likely" play D1/D2/D3 lacrosse in college.

Completely agree that "It is up to the player to publicize themselves and engage the coaches of the teams they want to play for."[/quote]
