It takes getting to the college level to realize what ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ’ฉthe MIAA and everything pertaining to it really is. And I say that having two kids in MIAA.

Serious question - bull in what way? My experience traveling around the country is that for all its warts, the MIAA schools, down into upper MIAA-C, are SADLY a superior lacrosse product compared to 90% of what is offered nationally. Yes, a few HS in DC. Yes, IMG. Yes, DC/IAC. Yes, Long Island, Westchester, and MA are arguably better (at least some years). Sit with the parents from the best lax clubs in NC, GA, CO next time you're at a tournament. See them not even understand - even be shocked by - the physicality or complexity of the game that MIAA and IAC kids are playing with.

Where do you think that MIAA fails? That they get developed talent and don't develop it further? That they poorly identify future talent? Curious to hear what you think. Or is just a bad hype vs worth ratio? Honest question.
