I think it is wonderful, she should be super proud. If she works hard she can be set up for success, Dartmouth is a great school. But to my point regarding top recruits, Dartmouth isn’t very good, they got smashed by every decent team they played last year. They have had some recruiting successes in the past two cycles, nabbing a few highly ranked kids, but the rest of their classes are typically marginal D1 types.

Dartmouth is just one of the highest academic institutions in the country with a top 25 Wlax program that has the best draw girl in the game and beat three currently-ranked top-30 teams and held two others to competitive games. BC and Penn were the only big losses. Kids have a pathway to Wall Street and will make incredible dough once they graduate if they want. Unlike ...

It all depends on why you are doing this. My daughters are younger but will be hoping for D1 spots in the next few years and my primary goal is to get them into the best possible academic institutions to set them up career wise. Once they’re in college I don’t care if they ever win another lacrosse game, their lacrosse careers will end in college and their professional ones will start soon after and go for another 40 years. If one of my girls could go to Dartmouth, which has an excellent reputation and network that helps them professionally, I would send them in a heartbeat.

LMAO, Dartmouth was a top 25 team last year, they're not very good? They got smashed by every decent team? They beat top 20 UMass, got 3 top 30 wins elsewhere, were in 2 and 3 goal games in the 4th quarter with the 3 heavyweights of the Ivy before bleeding out.

Would they get smashed by a top 3 team about every time, and have trouble if they played a top 6 team every week? Yes, and so would 95% or more of wlax.

That's funny you concede their better recruiting classes are recently (including a 5* and 4 4*s as freshmen for this year), but want to point out previous classes to that weren't as good. So they may be... better? Won't the 27s be playing with the recent classes and not the ones that have since graduated?

Weird post. No dog in the fight.

Really, which poll had them in the top 25? They played a terrible schedule and got stomped by BC, UPenn, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. UMass is the only decent win they had last year, and UMass’ ranking was propped up by a super weak schedule. Dartmouth is wonderful, but the lacrosse program is not great.

In other words, do schools call all the players they are interested in on September 1 regardless of whether they make offers on that first call - and just work their way down as girls accept or decline?

Coaches have tier lists, and they try to get top tier kids to commit early. Some do, some wait and take their visits before deciding. As the coaches develop the relationship, they gauge interest and move on to other recruits if it doesn’t work out. Kids will also decommit and the process will shake out around the middle of the school year.

Ok but do they call everyone from all their tiers on September 1? So players know on September 1 all the schools that are interested in them (to some degree) at once?

That depends on the coach/program, but generally they reach out to all of the kids they are interested in right away, but the top kids are offered the visits and potential scholarship packages first. They want to keep the tier 2 and 3 kids on the line in case they whiff on a tier 1 kid. That said, I wouldn’t freak out if your kid isn’t getting calls/texts/emails right away; it’s a marathon, not a sprint.

Coaches aren't developing the relationship. That ship has sailed. They're also not gauging interest. They're giving kids a couple days to a week deadline from 1st contacting to give them an answer, then moving on. Hope this helps.

That process is very objective and historically accurate...thank you for your expert insight.

I think they pulled the information from here, where an “expert” has ranked one player a 5 star and another a 4:
https://www.insidelacrosse.com/recruiting/club/team/Capital+2027+Blue/15785/2025

For the sake of comparison, #1 M&D has
3 five stars and 4 four stars.
https://www.insidelacrosse.com/recruiting/club/team/M%26D+2027+Black/14307/2025

Why doesn't IL list the full roster of each club?

Because you have to pay IL hundreds of dollars to be evaluated for a star ranking
