Good Godfrey - It’s “exception” not “acception”. Also there is no such thing as a “highschool transfer portal” so just knock it off.

Your entire premise is stupid. Equating a private school’s ability to choose who they accept and the random lacrosse player switching schools before her very last year is the epitome of a false equivalency. What a crock of bs.

Have to agree with the OP on this one. The point being made is some have come on this site claiming private teams are better, but now come on to complain about the very thing providing private schools an advantage. You are being way too sensitive about the "transfer portal" reference. I'm sure the poster was poking fun. But it is true players can transfer whenever they like. This would not be the first time I have heard of players transferring in their senior year. It will continue to happen. Regarding parents who send their kids to privates early with the hope of earning playing time later -- there is no guaranteed playing time for anyone. The best players should play. Parents and players should realize an outcome could be someone transfers in and takes their spot. Can happen at public or private schools. And because you feel the need to knock others you may want to check your own grammar.

Agree with previous poster about being similar to the transfer portal. And there is no way any private school can stop a kid from transferring. Hence the reasons could be private to the family, it could be they like the color of the school, shorter commute. whatever the reason is, private school's will more than likely love to take your money and accept you as a transfer.

no one cares, its the same scenario as the transfer portal. Deal with it.

so KJ is bringing in 3 senior transfers from a school who sits within their own conference.

Does the ISL allow things like this?

What if you are a current sophomore or current junior at SSSA and thought you were most likely going to start next year and then 3 senior transfer show up on your doorstep....

People do care. It’s a very bad look for KJ and these families.

No one cares, just move on from it

Also that junior defender is likely not staying either. Apparently FH didn’t handle COVID very well and some families are not happy.

It is crazy and ridiculous to switch schools for just your senior year so you can “win a state championship.” Are you kidding here? Anyone with a sense of right and wrong would know that. Your excuses for this - laughable. The tuition - not that much difference. The ‘22 class at SSSAS is thin on Capital players - it’s why there is even room for them. KJ knows next year is going to be a bad one ergo the transfers. Funny part is it is directly from Sofield’s playbook, a move that all the SSSAS people made such a stink over when it happened to them not so long ago.

Confirmed all those FH girls leaving for SSSAS. Three of them. I agree that it's laughable and borderline appalling.

Watch both games last night. The miaa plays a better style of lacrosse.
