[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Redshirting doesn't really make any difference unless you do it multiple times. At least three or four times, ideally. Your 10 year old should be in first grade. [/quote]

Usually for lacrosse you’ll see double redshirts. Summer and spring Kinder hold sacks then again at 8th. That’s the majority of D1 recruits. Other sports are based more on genetics and athletic ability. [/quote]

Is lacrosse just based on size?[/quote]

I really don’t think so. There’s smaller kids who do well but the average d1 player like most sports is over 6’. Lax is just a white kid sport that rewards this kind of thing. You can’t get away with it as much in football or basketball. Recruiters want to see pure genetics, not just parenting helping make it happen all the way through by holding back. [/quote]

I love it when DCUM posters betray how little they know about football recruiting. Man, the lack of understanding is something to see. [/quote]

Tell me what you know? Both Dh and I were D1 college athletes. Dh was top 25 college program for football. But tell me what you know. He was summer birthday bday, on time, young for his age. [/quote]

Oh my God you are so clueless. Let’s start with this: NCAA has almost completely changed since your DH played college football. It can barely be called amateur with a straight face any more. Redshirting for top prospects is part of the current process, as is use of community colleges. The transfer portal has transformed football in particular, and kids (men) are [i]old[/i]. The average age of NCAA athletes is creeping up every year, especially the stars.

The point about how former athletes are the most clueless and entitled is obviously correct. [/quote]

You understand that the biggest component to playing d1 sports is and will always be genetics right? That hasn’t change in 30 years. You can fake your way in as the star of 3rd grade football team but you can’t fake it later. Redshirting in Kinder is not the same thing as redshirting your senior year for a spot on a d1 team. Apples and oranges, but tell me more. [/quote]
