[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know an athlete who was a very good basketball player, and decided to try lacrosse.  Picked up a stick for the first time Sophomore year.  By the end of Junior season he was an impact player.  By senior season, Captain.  This was a VHSL 6A program that goes about .500 each season. Totally doable for a strong athlete with good work ethic.

Not doable at good privates in IAC or WCAC.[/quote]

I agree that basketball skills are the MOST transferable to lacrosse. The games are very similar.

I am aware of at least one boy who picked up his first lacrosse stick as a freshman at Prep and went on to be an All American at Georgetown.

He was a good all around athlete and also played football and basketball.[/quote]

There is no GP lacrosse player who has ever made all american at Georgetown. [/quote]

There probably has not ever been a GP player who started in 9th grade and later made any D1 lacrosse roster. [/quote]

Absolutely, totally incorrect. I can probably name 15. Let’s start with All American Scott Doyle at Georgetown. (See above)[/quote]

Agree not true at all.  Some of the best lax players picked it up in 9th and I know several from Prep.  Went on to play in college.  Many sports translate well with the same skills.  Parents of unathletic kids who have been pushing their kids to play lax since kindergarten don’t want you to know this.[/quote]

Apparently some started paying attention to lax ten minutes ago, and now they are experts.

Scott Doyle was a 2001 Honorable Mention AA, not an All American.
