[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took the 2026 rosters for the pre-season USA Lacrosse Top 10 and asked Gemini to sort the players by home state.

According to my Gemini, which is often not a reliable source, based on the 2026 women's lacrosse rosters for Maryland, Clemson, Duke, Johns Hopkins, UNC, Stanford, Northwestern, Florida, Boston College, and Princeton, the players come from the following states and regions, sorted from most to least:

New York (N.Y.)92
Maryland (Md.)71
New Jersey (N.J.)41
Pennsylvania (Pa.)29
Massachusetts (Mass.)25
Connecticut (Conn.)24
Florida (Fla.)12
Virginia (Va.)11
Colorado (Colo.)8
Georgia (Ga.)7
California (Calif.)7
Texas (Tex.)4
North Carolina (N.C.)4
Ontario, Canada3
Tennessee (Tenn.)3
Ohio (Ohio)2
Illinois (Ill.)2
New Hampshire (N.H.)2
Minnesota (Minn.)1
Michigan (Mich.)1
Delaware (Del.)1
Vermont (Vt.)1
Washington (Wash.)1
Oregon (Ore.)1
Utah (Utah)1
England1
Australia1

AI doesn’t distinguish Baltimore / HoCo area MD players from DMV MD-area players. That’s why these stats give an accurate picture:

Number of Baltimore-area players on top 5 teams:

UNC - 2 / 36 (6%)
BC - 2 / 32 (6%)
NW - 2 / 39 (5%)
Stanford - 5 / 34 (15%)
Florida - 7 / 40 (18%)

Average - Baltimore-area players make up 10% of top 5 program rosters[/quote]

It makes no sense to look at the number of MD players on current top 5 teams and then conclude top teams don’t recruit from MD teams considering ALL of those players were recruited many years ago when the “top” list was different. [/quote]

You’re not going to like where your argument leads. Maryland has one of the highest numbers of players from the Baltimore area (12). It was ranked #2 in 2022. It’s now ranked #12. [/quote]

In 2022 Maryland had 18 players from MD and 7 from NY. Now it has 13 players from MD and 11 from NY. I'm not sure where to make of that, but I do know it is ridiculous for the parent of a random 8th grader to suggest that Maryland is somehow not a top women's lacrosse program.  [/quote]
