Just look at the top 20 teams. Ivy League men's lacrosse is such a hot conference, it is no longer just about going to an elite academic school and using lacrosse to help get in, but playing elite D1 lacrosse AND being at an elite school. Makes it that much harder to get recruited in the last few years and going forward.

Plenty go Ivy but depending on what you are studying Ivy isn’t always the best option.

To think Ivy League schools won't recruit in the WCAC must be sarcasm, right?

Two from Gonzaga at Princeton now also, with a 2023 Penn commit.

Everyone recruits. Top IAC and WCAC schools all recruit.
Now talk about the school itself and if you don’t see the field.

No one is disputing the fact that they may get recruited. What they are arguing - correctly - is that the top schools are very well aware of the academic deficiencies of many in the WCAC. Its all about the academic index and admissions.

12. Potomac - 3
13-14. Good Counsel/Heights - 2
They don’t.
There is some correlation. How good the program they committed to are may matter as much as overall number. But even with just the total numbers people would be surprised if for example Gonzaga or Landon with 10 lost to Good Counsel or Heights with 2.
I think it is also the quality of the commitment. SJC has players ranked in the top 100 over all some of the others do not. If Dematha has an extra D3 player on the roster it will not mean they can beat the top teams. I think you could break them down in tiers.
Tier One: GTP, Bullis, SJC, Gonzaga
Tier Two: Landon, PVI, Dematha, SSSA, STA
Tier Three: The rest
Does Tier One have the strongest 2025/2026 classes?
Who really cares about 25/26 classes? Rarely does more than one or two players make an impact in those grades. If a team is relying on freshman and sophomore contributions they are not in Tier one by default.
I disagree. I think you can have 25s that are impact players. Maybe not 26s. Some of the 25s are holdbacks anyway so it is completely plausible that they will be impact players this spring.
Ok. Name the school and position that is impacted by a 2025 that is projected to be at least all conference this year? It may happen but this is still pre season. I think the tiers are accurate based on upper class players.
Before Covid hit, those SJC 22s already crushed Prep and beat Landon. Sophomore classes can make a big difference, especially in IAC where kids are 16-17.
That team was led by Haley. He dominated GP and everybody else.
Haley, Alvarez and 8 22s.
