[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is very common.  Some kids just do not want to go to a small school.  We had this conversation with our son.  His sport was hockey.  At best, if things went his way with Juniors, he would have been a D3 player.  There were maybe 15 schools he would have gone to play hockey.  The NESCAC schools, Skidmore, Babson, St. Olaf, Hobart and Lake Forest.  And there a lot of hockey kids that think the same way.

My nephew had lots of friends that went to college to play D3 lacrosse.  Most lasted one year before transferring to a flagship.      [/quote]

Oh hockey. Yeah.  My cousin's kid had to re-class in HS, go to a boarding school and then try to get into the Farm leagues before even trying to get recruited for college. Men's hockey players start college at 22/23.[/quote]

Yep.  Only the stars go to college on time.

Well...the true stars go direct to the NHL as 18 year olds (Sidney Crosby, Connor Bedard et al).[/quote]
