Omg who are you.

Literally no one has said any of those things. What has been said is that some/many players, who are not 5 or even 4 stars, are choosing great academics even though the very top lacrosse schools are beating down all their doors. They can't just take the win that girls are getting into good schools.

I think you are referring to one post that someone made that although poorly worded may have been kinda true… meaning maybe those top programs did have interest in them but they chose to go Ivy instead. I have not seen this point being made repeatedly though. Just once that can recall.

That poster literally said the top 10 players on the team could've gone to BC, NW and UNC if they wanted to. Which is where this discussion emanated from. Since, we've heard players going to Dartmouth would be shunning BC, etc., and now you saying the OP's take is kinda true. It's not.

This has been going on for a month, not just today. First it was a couple girls, now it's 10. Make the madness stop.

The 2 highest rated players are going to Denver and Fla State. That tracks. And they are not Ivies. And it's not a coincidence.

If you want less pushback from the peanut gallery, it would largely just take not claiming the lightning rod squad is the best at everything.

Yes

Yes, they split the game.

Yes

They have a defender, a goalie, and a midfielder left to commit! I think they were finishing up their visits this weekend and next, so hopefully soon.

Do they carry two goalies on Blue?

18/21 to be precise. Your point is still valid.

and two for Orange! very impressive

yup! wow

Is that 18 of 22 for Cap Blue committed before September is up (and 1 more day to go)?

1 Capital Blue FLORIDA STATE!! Go Noles!

Only a measly 3% of high school lacrosse players actually make it to play Division 1 in college. Seriously, let that sink in before you start tearing apart a family's choice or a player's decision to attend a particular school!
