There is a wide swath of schools between Ivies & Stanford and Clemson. You are leaving a huge group of schools off the table- Schools better than Clemson and with a much better head coach. To name just a few: UNC, Northwestern, BC, Cal, USC, Michigan, UVA, Richmond, Denver…. As well as schools on par academically but with better head coaches: JMU, Syracuse, VT, Louisville…

The question is if you are good enough to write your own ticket, do you use that golden ticket at Clemson? How many home football games each year weighed against offerings by other better academic schools that are also great lacrosse programs?

I think its more than just some home football games, its a fantastic college town. ITs beautiful, weather certainly nice most of the year. Are we assuming that the kids offered by Clemson would also be getting offered by Yale, Michigan, Northwestern?

Many of them yes. They are top players. Look at the commits over last two years and transfers. Many ranked players. Most from top ranked teams. These players have better options than Clemson and a coach who doesn’t build her players up.

Not always true. Players have to have exceptional grades and take very challenging courses to have a shot at top academics. Fewer players can meet their requirements. No scholarship money at ivies which deters top players too.
