[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ridiculous post here.  Yes the blue players are more talented (generally speaking), but the point is, the recruiting director should spend the same amount of time on each player given the fact that the blue player will probably be looking at different schools.  Both blue and orange parents pay the same amount of money and should expect the same service when it comes to recruiting.  Think about that for a second.  I am saying the same amount of time spent in each player whether they are looking at UNC or a low D3.  Why should it matter if they are blue or orange.  The capital recruiting director should do what’s right and best for the kids and give her full attention to all of them.  [/quote]

Honest question.   What do you want the recruiting director to do that she isn't doing now?

I've been to many Cap Orange games and there are usually 15-20 coaches on the sidelines at big recruiting tourneys.   All a recruiting director can do is give players a realistic view of which schools they should target, promote players and relay feedback.   Even the best recruiting directors don't get girls offers.  The best they can do is get girls in the A group at prospect days.  (And that isn't even happening without really good film).

I think the bigger issue is that many Cap parents (probably Blue more than Orange) don't have a real understanding at where their daughter's lacrosse level is.   Most years only 10 or so Cap Blue girls are good enough for top 25 teams.    That usually leaves 30-35 girls and parents disappointed.

My daughter was at a Penn prospect day earlier this summer.   There were 3 or 4 2025 Cap Orange girls in my daughter's group.   They were solid players but well behind girls from Heros, M&D and top LI clubs.   My daughter said Penn was one of these top targets for 2 of these girls.   If there is a problem with Capital recruiting, I think it is leading some girls on to spend their time on schools where they don't have a realistic chance.

If girls weren't getting exposure, I think that is a legit concern.   But I havent heard any parent complain that coaches aren't watching them -- just that they aren't making offers after they do.
