[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it that every person I know that has a child that plays high school LAX talks about how their son is being "looked at" by colleges "already" and that they are confident "he'll be recruited?"  Does every kid who plays LAX really get recruited....or are the majority of LAX parents delusional?  [/quote]

1.  Lacrosse recruiting happens very early, so if the kid is in ninth grade and is good at lacrosse he probably is getting some looks.
2.  Right now lacrosse is still a seller's market -- it is expanding a great deal at the collegiate level, but large swaths of the country still don't play the sport (this is not a time when public school systems are adding many sports, either).  So, a fairly skilled and experienced high school lacrosse player in this area almost certainly can play Division III lacrosse and has a better than average shot (compared to other sports) of playing Division I.
3.  A lot of parents are, nevertheless, entirely delusional.[/quote]
