[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think 3d coming to town will definitely impact the local lacrosse clubs, especially clubs like VLC and Blackwolf that do not have a national footprint.  After all, recruiting isn't limited to the DC Metro area, and 3d has assembled a killer network of directors/coaches across the country with deep connections to D1 schools.

Great coaches, D1 connections, and a new, more modern style of play (box/field hybrid) is much more important than the number of commits, and likely why some of the VLC players decided to join the program.  I imagine that trend will continue...[/quote]

That may be.  3D has a lot of money and has been buying up clubs all over the country.  Most of their success, however, is in Colorado, where they are based.  Remains to be seen if they can get recruiting success in other areas.

My son went to a 3D clinic run by Fuze/3D, and saw their touted box/field hybrid system.  It is more marketing than anything else.  The stuff they were teaching were things other kids have learned/are already doing.

Recruiting success does, however, move the needle.  Blackwolf's recruiting success made them a favored destination almost immediately.  The 3 kids who left Madlax and the three kids who left VLC didn't leave because of a hybrid system.  Kids leave clubs all the time.  Usually it's because the family feels the kid will get more attention/playing time elsewhere.[/quote]
