Pretty much or attend their event. There’s plenty not evaluated.

They aren’t five star recruits. They’re on the five star watch list. They aren’t listed as five stars yet. The IL list is only top 10, not 30.

Incorrect, they added 20 players to the list. Top 30 are 5 star and the stars have been added

These "lists" don't matter at the end of the day. Your daughter will be recruited whether they are on the list or not - relax. Girls never on any list, still go on to play D1. Girls on the list go on the "play" D1 and don't see the field. Lists do not matter.

THIS!

The Inside Lacrosse 2025 30 five star list:
#2 Emma Penczek Mamchester Valley M&D
#9 McKenzie Brown McDonogh Skywalkers

5 Star Watchlist:
Maeve Cavanaugh Spalding M&D
Sienna Chirieleison Trinity Pa Heros
MacKenzie Conley Mt DeSales Heros
Tess Deluca Maryvale M&D
Caroline Hoskins St Paul's Skywalkers
Payton Magday McDonogh M&D

All eight of the top 30 girls from Maryland are from the three power clubs in Maryland. M&D, Hero's and Skywalkers. M&D has four girls, Hero's and Skywalkers each have two.

Zero truth to this...but I will agree there are a lot of talented girls out there.

And your point? Again, these lists do not mean anything at the end of the day. There are girls that have been on "lists" that don't see the field...there are girls that have never been on any list who do see the field (D1). People need to stop harping on "lists" - focus on your daughter and what SHE wants.

Hey mom of the sky walkers/ndp girl, can you please stop trying to promote your daughter on this site. It is obvious and you are doing more harm than good for. Might be why she has been with multiple clubs and multiple high schools

I believe she made the lacrosse magazine list

Wondering if they added the girl that committed to NE as a 5 star yet. Any day now definitely. They’re like “who”. Give her the stars! Quick. Whole thing is a joke.

dense question. Is there such thing as a 3-star recruit? Or if you get evaluated and end up 3 stars, does that not get publicized or made public?

Pretty sure this is very common or I hope, but it’s driving my daughter nuts. Anyone else go through this? Coach calls sept 1 midnight and tells your daughter they love her. Get a text a few days later and say hey are you available tomorrow to chat about setting up a visit. You set it up. Next day comes. They don’t call. Next day they text again with an excuse, “so sorry something came up. Are you available tomorrow at 7.” You set it up, 7 comes and they do t call. Then they text in two days and go through it all again.

Now I know ghosting is common. What bothers me here is be a ghost. Don’t call the next day so sorry can “connect” (I detest that word) tomorrow”

Anyway. Is this common or is the coach going throw a midlife crisis and is really that bad at administrative stuff?

I am shocked that Clemson is putting out an article that names the 2025 recruits that are coming & visiting their campus this weekend!

It seems to be common now. Some say that they are going through the first round or first half of the round and seeing who they like. They then move on to the rest. You may get a call or not if they met their quota.

Why are you shocked? Everyone finds out right away anyway and most of those girls have made the circuit of visits all week.

I read the article. Ballsy.

Ghosting happens all the time, but with this, doesn’t sound like a ghost. No offense but it is either she’s not that high on their priority or maybe they are all over the place.

Why are you shocked? This happens all the time in other college sports.

It wasn’t Put out by Clemson - it is a fan page.

But promoted by their Instagram. Which I don’t have a problem with. But it was promoted by them

How did the fan page find out about it who went???

It was posted on their Instagram. I’ve never seen a lax school promote what girls are coming to see their program before. If it’s happened in the past, then I’m wrong…I find it very strange that they would list the girls coming. I know clubs have specifically told their players to not talk about who they are talking to.

Coaches and school cannot discuss a recruit publicly until national signing day. Any communication is leaking to a third-party

Why not advertise it, what exactly is the harm? Other college sports like football and basketball and have been for years.

Don't you dare do that to a coach! Two sets of rules. One for the 16 year old kids and one for the coaches where 75% of them don't care about the kids that are on their team.

Personally if I was a coach and asked one of those girls for a visit and turned me down and then I see them on that list of Clemson visitors they are done have fun when the oil your scholarship from under you in a year when the next best thing comes saw it happen first hand to a girl.

This happened to a player I know.

If a kid is turning down a visit to a top school, pretty sure they don’t want to go there. Every school my daughter has spoken to has asked her where she is visiting this year. They know already. Think this article is no big deal.
Also, I Believe there’s a lot more to that story about her leaving.

I think it's tacky and also does a disservice to the girls IMO. No lax team has done it before. It's on thing for a Clemson fan page to post, but for Clemson Lax to advertise on their Instagram page with details of players is tacky. We know that one girl on the list committed to them immediately - congrats to her.

Personally if you were a coach, I'd avoid your program based on the inability to write a coherent sentence. The game is changing and Clemson is leading the way. Too many shady coaches out there who can't communicate and ghost kids. Time to turn the tables on the nonsense.

Coaches know kids visit other programs. The best understand and work with the kid even if they’re frustrated.

Football weekends play a big part in recruiting, especially at big football schools.

Tacky? You think it’s tacky? Run on back to your country club for some smelling salts because someone has the vapors! Get a grip, princess.

Please show me where this recruiting “law” is written. I’ll wait…

How to say you are new to the recruiting process without saying you are new to the recruiting process.


The "law" NCAA by-law 13.10.1.4.


I'm sure you won't bother to look it up since i'm sure the rules don't apply to your all american child.

WOW, what a grown up response to someones OPINION. You obviously need to get a grip if someones OPINION gets you this worked up

I agree with coaches asking where else they are looking. That happened with my daughter. You don't have to tell them though and clubs tell their players to be discreet (M&D). They listed the players and their background (where they are from, status, etc.)

I am not the OP but my guess is that this would be considered a retweet since CULax did not create the article. Though i do think this is a red flag in the NCAA's eyes and might be investigated.

From the NCAA
Coaches can subtweet recruits, but they can't tweet directly at them. Coaches can only share, under a policy that's commonly being described as “click, don't type.” This is huge for college coaches and prospects alike.
