[quote=Anonymous]The reality is that there are now fewer football players picking up lacrosse and being able to play at the top college level. This actually was more prevalent 10-20 years ago. I went to an Ivy League school (did not play lax but did play football). There were a number of kids that came from New England Prep Schools who played both sports in college. Today this is happening less frequently. Why? Because the sports are becoming more specialized. While there will always be exceptions (Duke had some kids play Saturday that were also on the football team), lax is a sport that takes many years to develop. Most of the kids at D1 schools have been playing lax since they were 7 years old. It is difficult for a football player, even being a great athlete, to walk onto a lacrosse field late in his career, and have the stick skills to compete at this level.[/quote]
