Great for girls who want to play lax in college no matter what or where. Not great for kids who want to go to a top rate college and play lax. Michigan is awesome. Otherwise, well . . . yikes.

Good news for that player. i was wondering how the timing worked for D3 schools. I know that D1 is allowed to start offers on September 1 of Junior year. Is it the same timing for D3 schools? For some reason, I thought it was September 1, Senior Year, but guess I am wrong.
No NCAA rules for D3s. Individual conferences, like NESCAC, have rules. NESCAC is July 1 prior to senior year. Kids who want top academic D3 (and great lax) usually wait for those schools.

Washington DC has most highly educated population in the country and its obvious when you watch the way people parent here. The kids who play lacrosse here tend to be UC and UMC. Add in there that the best lacrosse high schools here are largely privates that cost in the $40-50k range and it’s really no surprise that established clubs like Capital are admired foremost for sending players to top academic schools like the Ivies, Duke, JHU, Stanford, Northwestern, Notre Dane, Vandy, and the NESCACs. Few want less selective schools.
How many posts on this forum discuss using lax to help a kid get into a school with admissions in single digits and low teens? Too many. This isn’t Long Island or Baltimore or Upstate NY. Lax in the DMV serves a different purpose for many/most families Knowing all that should put the reactions to kids committing to less well known and less selective colleges as no surprise.
Best to pray that those kids are in the 7%.

Good lord some of you are just bitter and clearly enjoy tearing kids down for accomplishing something few ever do - committing to play collegiate athletics.
Few? There's like 10s of thousands.

7% of high school athletes play in college. That is few.

I'm happy for the player, but what does this even mean? I'm from NC and scratching my head.Plus it reminds me of an old Elon. Good old boy country, instead of the wokies that populate Elon now a days. Don't forget, this is lacrosse we are all talking about here.

ECU has a lot going for it. Entire coaching staff are Duke alums and KK own daughter is on the team. It wouldn't be such a bad team if she allowed her daughter to play there, would it?

Late to the game here. yes Georgetown is a great school but their lacrosse program has never succeeded its own hype.
