[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unpopular opinion: D3 is not "Ringer" status... not to take away from her achievements... but more to highlight the Impact may not be as great as it looks..

"Just over 12 percent of high school lacrosse players go on to play women’s college lacrosse. Over five percent of these student-athletes play for NCAA Division 3 programs, while only three percent are offered a roster spot at one of the 115 Division 1 programs."

that being said, I think the playing for club coach thing is a meh point.... ask the IAAM how many of their girls play for their club coaches/top club coaches in the country. Different level or lacrosse, so maybe unfair to compare. Also, if you are a player on a club team the goal should always be to play at the highest level possible, why else would you commit the team and money?

IMO, being better than 88% of other lacrosse players (i.e. good enough to play in college at any level) is "ringer" territory. So  the statistic you just floated doesn't support your contention that this isn't an impact player.  And really it's 92% since I infer the others in that 12% who aren't playing D3 or D1 are playing juco.

Again, this isn't just some walk-on. No one disputes that club and HS teams are different. No one really gets recruited from HS. But, again, if this was a case of her wanting to play for a "better" team than Lightridge, one that was states runners up last year and was coached by her club coach, then, yes, it looks an awful lot like an attempt to game the system and using buzzwords like mental health in a pressure PR campaign to try to force the issue. A judge shot it down, anyway. Family may throw good money after bad on lawyers, but this is over, barring some dramatic change in the next couple of days from the school board (which I don't think will happen, nor should it).[/quote]
