[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You find out who has been recruited where at sites that aggregate this information.  For example, here are Saint Alban's class of 2013 lacrosse commits from lax power:

Sewanee and Mississppi are not the schools I would expect to see from St. Albans[/quote]

1.  Those listed are in the class of 2012; that is also an incomplete list that doesn't include most of the Division III players.
2.  The days in which any IAC starting player could do Division I are gone.  St. Albans still has a very good lacrosse program on a national scale, but has had a few lean years in the IAC of late and has not produced tons of Division I lacrosse players in the past few years.  With that said, in this year's senior class there are at least three committed to play DI, including one at Yale.  
3.  With respect to the statement that "Sewanee and Mississippi are not the schools I would expect to see from St. Albans," I'm not sure if that is a comment on athletics recruiting or overall St. Albans success in the college process.  If the former, see above -- more St. Albans lacrosse players these day go Division III than Division I.  If it suggests that St. Albans doesn't have good college admissions, you may have a dated view of things -- STA does as well or better, in the sense of admissions to highly selective schools, as any independent school in this area, and you will still find more "modest" schools on their list.  This is true even at the fancy NE Boarding schools these days -- the game has changed in college admissions, and good, small liberal arts college like Sewanee, where a kid can be a big contributor in sports, is a very nice option.
