Can someone recommend software for creating a recruitment highlight video through a Mac?

You aren't very bright. There is no point in continuing to try to enlighten you. Good luck in your quest to eliminate "red shirting" I'm sure the powers that be will be impressed by the strength of your arguments.

Please enlighten us all on how wrong the CDC and WHO statistics is for growth curves of boys. Maybe they're not as bright as you either. The fact is your daddy eyes on lacrosse players have been fooling you. There are enormous differences physically between adolescent boys two years apart in every decile of the data. Boys are not done growing height wise on average until 19, and carry a lot of weight growth between 16 and 19. There is no way anyone's eyes could look at this data and agree that the spread between 14 and 19 is unsafe for the kids. Grab a Bud Light and call it a day pal, you're done.

My God you are dense.

Here's an actual lacrosse roster for you to consider:

You'll see a 205 lb freshman, a 230 lb sophomore a 285 junior and a 165 lb senior -- according to your data this is impossible because none of these living breathing student athletes are "average" -- how dumb can one person be? Please stop before you embarrass yourself further. Also, note that the 285 lb player would still be out there to play against you fragile snowflake even under a no red shirt rule.

That Gonzaga roster has bigger kids than many D1 rosters, wow.

Sorry, that prior post needs some clarity. It is aimed at college men's lacrosse. If you have a son who is a football, basketball or golfer or a daughter who is a basketball, volleyball, golf or tennis player you are dealing with the land of partial grant-in-aid scholarships. That is the list where it is full riders. Otherwise it is generally best to be female because of the Title IX scholarship number bump by sport. The worst ratio of scholarships to roster sizes are mens's lacrosse and men's hockey. Those are the two worst sports for the future financial picture if junior is a recruit.

D1 scholarships above a 1/3rd fraction are the rarest of rare. 1/2 is about where Steele Stanwick was as a returning All America and arguably the best player in the college game.

If you need financial help to pay for your son's college, it is much more likely to come via normal financial aid than athletic grant-in-aid. Based on my own experience, getting a grant-in-aid scholarship for a sport can damage your best opportunity to affordably attend college because there is no double dip. Once a kid takes scholarship grant-in-aid, then that same kid is ineligible for normal financial aid. The gap can be made up with academic merit scholarship money in addition, but that would depend on how good a student the kid is. Savvy college coaches will steer you toward the best financial possibilities outside of an athletic scholarship, and listen keenly and follow that advice. A lot of parents are so ego driven to say there is an athletic scholarship involved that they literally sever a path toward more affordable college planning. Happens all the time.

I was being cynical. We know there are no real bucks

If you think that lacrosse will yield serious scholarship dollars at any school in D-1, you are delusional. There are 12.6 scholarships per team for a fully funded program. If you consider that lax teams carry 40 players, you can see that partial scholarships are the norm. Getting a one-third scholarship is quite good. Not uncommon for many schools to "recruit" a player, but then there is no financial package other than financial aid based upon the FAFSA form. If the D1 school mentioned above is one that you think would be a good fit for your kid, then you should look at the offer with your player. Understand that the financial component could go up or down depending on the player's performance or other decisions left to the coaches.

Do the good Montgomery County public school boys gravitate towards one club program, or are they dispersed everywhere?

In the past Madlax takes all comers and puts them on teams and also registers teams. 3d is so new I have no idea. Next Level is doing a winter box league for high schoolers and worth asking if they do juniors.

Can you sign up to play or do you already have to be on a travel team?

BLC, Madlax and 3d have all done ads for winter box. Next Level also talked about doing a league.

I will give Deadspin this much...they don't censure anything. Lacrosse parents obsessed with club, prep school team college commit status for their kid and other kids is just creepy. It is 100% self inflicted harm and it is not unfair when it comes around to bite.

We have a son who committed to a D1 program 5 months ago. The only people who know are the coaches at that program, our son's club and high school coach and our family. Non public. Nobody else's business and keeping it private does nothing to save us from celebrating an accomplishment. Partents who find themselves in a bad spot because of lacrosse publicity onto their teen son are to blame for it.
