There is also another SW commit to Georgetown, from McDonogh I believe

Is the SW player going to Stanford on the Blue team or White team? I think maybe White; which is kindof interesting.

couldn't find the Naval Academy in the Forbes ranking

So great lacrosse and academics are pretty prevalent within the top 20, everyone should be able to check both boxes reasonably well.

Never thought to look at it that way but I like it. Not sure the academic rankings are 100% correct? Is Penn State 196???

Agree. US News is a better source.

It's been posted 8 times in the last 18 hours, copied another time, and posted 5x just today. I'm pretty sure anyone can get a fully detailed read looking at the most recent, and then any updates below it, then revised a couple x a day.

havent commented in a while but just wanted to let the person who is posting the list know that it is appreciated. The additions are noticed and we hope you keep them coming!

Me too. Sort by "National Universities". There should be 439 Universities remaining.

If you are doing this so that you can evaluate other people's decisions, you are spending way too much effort. If it is to help your child make a decision, you are spending effort in the wrong place.

The list now has NCAA final 2024 ranking on it.

Is there any way we can get the person who has it on autopilot to keep posting the same list every hour or 2 to make it twice per day?

So only significant changes are Notre Dame up 5 spots and Penn State up 3 spots.

All these rating services are trying too hard, and the methodologies are bunk. The short list is quality of incoming students, graduation rates, advanced degree placement to top programs, career placement and career incomes. The rest is trash. Maybe joy for those inclined.

Wow the squabbling was one thing, didn't think I'd see someone with the time and lack of hobbies to comment on the squabbling.
