So True, for a time with recruiting all you heard was , lacrosse will get you into an IVY or Top school. That talk is getting old now. Parents are realizing there are many easier ways to get in. Plus only a few get in each year , numbers dont lie.
Club has taken its toll along with at elite level competing against private school holdbacks or holdbacks in general. Many parents arent holding their child back to copete at a niche sport.
Numbers are down , no matter what the useless USL puts out.
