In the DMV it sounds like it's probably closer to 10%.

Do you think this is because you can't reclass staying public? No judgement and not trying to start the reclass debate.

Trying to understand why such a higher % of the D1 kids in DMV come out of the privates. There's enough talent in a condensed area in the DMV that you should be able to field competitive public HS lax teams with D1 talent.

It makes a lot more sense to me that the non-hotbed states would see all of their D1 talent gravitate to private schools because there's not enough talent in any one public school to challenge a D1 player.
Out west it’s literally 99% of the D1’s come from private schools. My kid’s 8th grade team in MD would wax every public high school team in CA. But when it comes to water polo… different story
