[quote=Anonymous]ok, you got me there, maybe "garbage" to describe the US Club Rankings was to harsh of a term.  However, I will tell you, that most college coaches doing this for a long time know the top elite clubs (producing talent) and have a relationship with them so they can easily make a phone call.  Club rankings are really not the best format and the way it's calculated, is not great either.  With that said, that doesn't mean that a college coach won't take interest in other players that play for lesser known clubs in areas that may not be hot beds for club lax.  Coaches are always looking for that diamond in a rough and are proud of the fact that they can say they have "recruits" from all over the country from all different clubs.  The one thing i will stress is this-- Every college program and coach recruits in different ways (yes there are similar tendencies), but for the most part recruiting is not an exact science, it also has a lot to do with the current class (money-if it's D1 or 2) program, future needs and the entire culture of the team.  Coaches are looking for that right fit, and it has to work both ways for the student and the college program.  I'll give everyone an example of what i mean about not an "exact" science.  This is real world and actually happens more than you think, but coach plans to watch player A, and starts to randomly watch another game and see's player B.  This scenario happens a lot because coaches cant be everywhere and they are trying to see as many games or players as they can.

All of this is my humble opinion based on coaching at that level for years.  I also find these threads very interesting as someone told me to take a look last week.  It amazes me all the bashing of players, coaches and other parents on this board, it's pretty disturbing.  At the end of the day, lacrosse just like any other sport is a game, and their will be a time where the player loses interest or hangs up their cleats. We should be building these players up, not breaking them down and judging.  I've said my piece, take it for what it's worth.....  Have a great holiday everyone. [/quote]
