[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then why can’t they perform on the field? If they have so much talent why aren’t they even competitive?[/quote]

They don’t have depth.  They have maybe 3-4 standouts per year, but not enough decent players to put forth a decent starting lineup and especially up against IAC nationally ranked teams this is a recipe for a losing season.  So they try to convert a lot of great athletes into  lacrosse players.  For example there are kids heading to Dartmouth and Bowdoin as football recruits who are phenemonal athletes but haven’t been playing lacrosse for most of their lives so lack stick skills and lacrosse IQ.  Luckily the HC has been using his connection to Next Level and the team in the last 2 years is increasingly stocked with kids who’ve played lacrosse since they were in elementary school.  Now the challenge is to convince a kid who would otherwise go to Landon or Prep why they should take a chance by playing for STA instead.  If you are a blue chip recruit, it just doesn’t make sense, at least as of this writing.[/quote]
