There is not a lot of debate and this is just not true.  Not one D3 school would make the tournament and the top 5 D3 are better than the bottom 10D1 but let's not push it. RIT and W&L are not beating a team like Ohio State, UMBC, or Marquette on a regular basis and those teams are in the bottom half.   And please spare the 3 star player that is just a joke.  Inside lacrosse sells a three star ranking for $299.  I also love the kid had multiple D1 offers.  That is not true an offer is only made after player makes a verbal commitment.  Getting invited to camp is not an offer.  Finally really does not matter how much HS time the player has played as a freshman or sophmore.  They can ball out and get noticed this summer at the events but also do the prospect days as well.[/quote]

The point was not that top 10 D3 schools would stand a chance in the NCAA D1 tournament, but that they would be very competitive with the bottom Half of D1 schools. If you don't think that the top 8-10 D3 schools wouldn't run the bottom 10 D1 schools, you are kidding yourself. There is much greater depth in D1, but there are some really bad D1 teams. Do you think that Bellarmine, Queens, Lindenwood,Hampton, UMassLowell, etc would beat Tufts or Salisbury?

The same 3 stars must be being purchased by D1 schools as D3.

A huge point of this debate is why go to #119 Regional North D1 University to play lacrosse when you could go to a top 50 liberal arts college with a decent lacrosse team. it may be a better experience and outcome for your son.

Pick the best school for the kid and hope they have a good lacrosse team. Not the other way around.
