Thanks for the info Mom & Dad! Funny you think this is news that everyone on here needs to hear vs seeing it on the commitment notifications elsewhere like everyone else’s commitment news. Modesty is a nice character trait btw!
Someone’s bitter.
We were talking about how MD struggling to get hometown kids, seems prettty relevant to the discussion. She was the last top local kid available.
Just because they’re not on the rankings list that this forum holds so near and dear to its heart, there are plenty of top local girls taking their time on official visits.
THIS^^^^^
Big10 freshman of the year for 2023 was not ranked by IL in 2022 she was "on the rise". And only 4 local talent from the 2022 class had significant PT and contributed to their respective programs (and one of those players wasn't ranked or on the rise by IL). The player rankings mean nothing once you head off to college. Good luck to the class of 2025 during their recruiting process.
How many programs have won a championship that didn't have highly ranked players? This idea that rankings don't mean anything is pushed by people like you who are salty their kids never got recognized. Rankings aren't going to be perfect. But there is a reason why the same schools keep making it to championship weekend. There is a direct correlation with Maryland's decline and their inability to land top talent. So when people are bringing it up it's because it is the reality. We can all see it. Trying to convince yourself that some unranked girl will somehow be the savior of the program is a fallacy. Is this what the once great terps nation resorted to? grasping at straws? Its not hard to identify talent in lacrosse at the high school level. Everyone knows who's good. If you're Maryland you have to be competing with your rivals to land top talent. Especially from your own state. No ifs ands or buts about it. Unranked or low ranked players who turn out to be elite are the exception, not the norm.
Wanna know what schools have "just because they arent ranked doesnt mean they arent good" type players? Virginia Tech. Arizona State. Ohio State. Tell me when any of these teams will sniff a championship? never. But good to know this is where the pride of Maryland womens lacrosse has become. Being happy with being being Mid
