[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"While there is a lot of debate, the top ten D3 Schools would be very competitive with bottom half of D1 schools. Often an Amherst or W&L will have more 3 star recruits that half of D1 schools"
There is not a lot of debate and this is just not true.  Not one D3 school would make the tournament and the top 5 D3 are better than the bottom 10D1 but let's not push it. RIT and W&L are not beating a team like Ohio State, UMBC, or Marquette on a regular basis and those teams are in the bottom half.   And please spare the 3 star player that is just a joke.  Inside lacrosse sells a three star ranking for $299.  I also love the kid had multiple D1 offers.  That is not true an offer is only made after player makes a verbal commitment.  Getting invited to camp is not an offer.  Finally really does not matter how much HS time the player has played as a freshman or sophmore.  They can ball out and get noticed this summer at the events but also do the prospect days as well.[/quote]

You are so off.  It is true at-large bids for the D1 tournament are incredibly hard to get.  There are a lot of top 20 teams that don’t get in the tournament every year. The D3 teams would likely need to win a bad conference. But there are 76 teams in D1 and 30-40 teams are terrible.  You honestly don’t think RIT, Salisbury or Tufts could beat Sacred Heart who made the tournament this year? Look at who Sacred Heart played.  The top D3 teams scrimmage good D1 teams each year and win or keep it close.  Tufts, Amherst, Williams, W&L etc. all have a ton of kids that had several lower half D1 school offers but chose much better academics, and even many that chose them over schools like UMBC who you mentioned.
