[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coaches believe they can project a player’s ceiling. My guess is they’ll take a bigger, more athletic girl with mediocre lacrosse skills from the west versus an average athlete who plays on an elite team on the east coast- with all other things being equal of course (work ethic, grades, family, lacorsse IQ etc) [/quote]

A larger, stronger, or more athletic player would obviously be considered more desirable than one with average athleticism. Geography would not appear to be a relevant factor in this calculation.[/quote]

It actually is very relevant. You are far more likely to find a kid on the east coast that has been playing since they were 5 or 6 as opposed to further out west. Typically, coaches deem players that started later as kids with higher ceilings. They also are less likely to burn out.[/quote]

I agree a coach might be willing to take a gamble on an exceptional athlete with upside, but all else being equal—athleticism, work ethic, grades, family, lacrosse IQ—a highly skilled player would be chosen over someone who still needs years to develop.  [/quote]
