[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t always go by how many D1 commits a team has since all D1 programs, coaches, and commits are not created equal. You can bet that a commit to championship programs like UNC, BC, JMU or UMD will be top level talent. Lower level D1 programs like say a Winthrop, Mercer or W&M will recruit solid H.S. Players, but certainly not at the level of those  strongest programs.[/quote]

I know this may come as a shock but some top level talent choose higher academic universities over higher quality of the lacrosse programs.

Spot on. [/quote]

There's plenty of overlap between top academics and top lacrosse that a truly top player seeking academics might choose before W&M, Mercer or (for crying out loud) Winthrop.  Just off the top: Penn, Northwestern, BC, Stanford, Navy, Vandy, Cornell, Duke, Georgetown, Princeton, Hopkins, Michigan, Notre Dame.  Hell, three of the four programs you cited as "championship" programs are ones that I'd be proud for my kid to attend from an academic perspective.  Do you really think that there has ever been a player weighing scholarship offers from UNC and W&M for lacrosse who chose W&M (much less Winthrop or Mercer)?  Please.[/quote]
