Maybe put them in the classroom to compete since the criticism seems to be about academic standing not lacrosse.

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.

Seriously? JMU is consistently a Top 20, if not top 15 program and has won a national championship.

JMU is known as a party school and has an 80% acceptance rate.

It is not as much of a party school as Radford. But sheesh, be happy for these players, who chose the school and lax program that was the best fit for THEM (not you).

Capital has another D1, to Butler.

Lots of factors!! Any kid who plays a sport in college - especially DI - shouldn’t be criticized. Its a lot of work to get there and a lot while they are there.

For kids who live in Va, it also has in state tuition price. Amongst the top programs, who don’t need to hand out scholarships to get top players, that is appealing. And there are thousands of successful JMU grads in the DC area for future networking.

Apparently your daughter really came up flat on the recruiting front. Explains your bitterness and need to criticize 16-yr old girls who succeeded where you failed.

Now that you crushed all the girls in the DC area, are you now going to set your sites on all the girls posting on toplaxrecruits and bash them…..

Girls who commit by October of their Junior year had plenty of options. Hope that glass house works out for you.

Reading this post from the outside looking in, it’s pretty ridiculous and crazy that seems to be one person maybe two totally crushing 16 year old girls for their college choices. Maybe try instead of breaking young ladies or boys down, ever think of building them up and congratulating them? Everyone hs their specific reasons for choosing their college and doesn’t have to align with what you are thinking. For the one or two bashers in this post, get a life.

That’s great- if your daughter can get into Michigan without
Lacrosse, send her there.

It blows my mind that people constantly bash these kids on their college choices. These kids have their reasons and not everyone wants to go to those Top 10 schools. Some want a smaller school. Some will go "lower" for a better chance at playing. Some just 'click' with the team and school. You never know.

All of these girls committing should be proud regardless if it is a top 10 D1 program or not.

VA Metro also has on top of what the PP said, a D1 ODU commit and a couple more D3 commits. Congrats to all the girls..
