Thanks for putting this together.
Can you provide the names of the kids making the verbals?
Also, why do we include a kid from Highland Park, Texas on the list if they aren't local to the DC metro area?

Fair point and good for the family.
But curious what the price tag would be to get 4 sons committed at a school like Michigan? North of $5m?
FWIW - the three oldest are all the real deal. They could have gone to other big programs.

What schools have you heard of that are facing dwindling budgets? It certainly isn't happening at P4 programs.Anonymous wrote:I don't know the situation with the Michigan commit, but in this world of NIL and dwindling budgets for all college sports (with the exception of football and basketball), it's perfectly normal for a big program to take a kid whose family donates to the school or the lax program.

LOL. Private school players/payers have a ginormous advantage in getting recruited.Anonymous wrote:And you keep digging a bigger hole. For some reason silence is supposed to make a broken system better.
I may have missed the mark --- are you one of those? Or no?

Absolutely, and they have to at be good at lax. May never see the field but needs to check the box.

Congratulations nepo dad. You found a way around the system by paying your first son's way into Michigan and then force feeding the university the rest of the kids to get around the no-legacy-considered policy of the university. Quippy put downs aside, this is obvious to everyone.
Sounds like the opposite. Lax daddy realizing how the system really works.
Thank you for agreeing the Michigan 3 star, 3 brother, graduate rich dad is completely top line ridiculous.
You've been willing to shell out for that opportunity. Because that's lacrosse in 2025. He just has a bigger shovel than you. No one ever told you that everybody's shovel was going to be the same size.

Just curious but does the Michigan kid or Army kid live in the DMV area? I understand they play for a "local" travel team but in reality do they come from a DMV address. If not, then it is more a marketing/recruiting award then development by the team. Yes, I do understand that is an issue.
NL kid is local
