[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I doubt the lack of Landon players on UVA's roster has anything to do with GH since Coach Starsia has started recruiting a few Landon underclassmen.

As the sport continues to grow in popularity and more football type players pick up the stick, you will see less and less players from IAC schools on ACC rosters. [/quote]

I certainly buy that last comment. This previous poster "gets it".

The door is closing on good IAC lacrosse players, who are not also great athletes. As the inventory of high school players increases without a corresponding increase in the number of colleges playing the sport, there will be far fewer IAC players -- who tend to better lacrosse players than athletes -- on the rosters of the best teams.

A criticism I have heard of IAC lacrosse players is that most tend to have no real upside in college. In these intense high school programs they have all their ability wrung out of them. There are exceptions, of course, like Bray Malphus or Ryan Curtis. But parents who are grooming kids in middle schools for the opportunties that the lacrosse players had in the 2000's are going to be greatly disappointed by the scenario they face six years from now.[/quote]
