You really can't buy a spot or manipulate the situation if player is not good. No matter how important dad think he is or amount of money he throws around. A lot of kids in lacrosse have everything (training, best equipment, right bumper sticker on car) but actual game. Yes 10 years ago the world was smaller but the days of lil johny can't hang in any other sport but lacrosse is the last hope for unathletic rich kids are slowly ending. I do detest being the barer of such bad news and reality.

I think the issue is visibility. If scouts are focused on MIAA games rather than club games, my son will be at a huge disadvantage.

It does seem odd that the majority of D1 recruits tend to come from private schools. It begs the question... Are they recruited because they went to and elite private school or are they at an elite private because they are talented enough to be a D1 prospect?
