[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] STA does not have 3-5 "very good" players per grade. If lucky they have 1-2 good players per grade. Look at their lacrosse recruiting history, one or two per year, sometimes D1 but mostly D3. As an example, STA had one commit in the class of 2021. In the same 2021 class Prep had 13, Bullis had 8, Gonzaga 8, SSSA 6, Episcopal 6, Paul VI 5, and Landon 4. As another comparison, in the class of 2022 STA has two D3 commits while SJC has 17 commits. That is a huge difference in depth and strength.

The 2023 class has 3 commits, this is incredibly unusual for STA and a real anomaly. This is not the start of new trend. STA does not have the depth or strength of program and history to recruit the top lacrosse players. They have one IAC co-championship in their history. If one or two come up from lower school it is luck, not due to recruitment or attracting top players. And yes, many top players are smart enough for STA academically so let's not go there.[/quote]

You are missing a critical piece of info here so your comparisons are ridiculous.  STA has about 80 boys per grade - Prep has 125, Gonzaga has 250, St. John’s and Paul VI have about 275 coed (so 135-140 boys) . . . Landon/Bullis/SSSA are the only ones that are really comparable in terms of enrollment.

This all begs the question of why it is so important for you to point out that STA lacrosse team is not as deep.  Maybe you should stop trying to live vicariously through your kid.[/quote]

:roll: Excuses, excuses. The larger schools could easily have very few good lacrosse players. Just because you have larger numbers doesn't mean you have top athletes or players for any given sport. And if you want to use that excuse, then just compare STA to Landon, Bullis, or SSSA (as you said). They have double and triple the amount of commits each year than STA, so your excuse is just that, an excuse, and ridiculous.[/quote]
