All things being equal??are you kidding ? Can you not see the blatant idiocy of your statement which has a discrepancy as the source of the argument??

Seriously; with your mental [lacrosse] genetics, your kid is gonna need every cheating method known to mankind to get into an IVY. Bwaaahahahaha...

Disadvantage?? At 6' and 190 and a 3.9 GPA?? Nah... I don't thinks so...

Go get your shine box, buddy.


3.9? Without lax your little Johnny has no shot at any top school. Do you feel bad for taking a spot from a more deserving student? Guessing your moral high ground only goes so far.

Btw, are you checking the starting roster for your Johnny's commit to see their birthdays? Didn't think so. Don't worry he might see the field as a senior. Unless of course the top holdback recruits take his PT.


Thanks, But Don't have to check....he's already qualified and met the academic index.
Nice try and don't worry...your boy can watch from the stands selling soda as mine plays for a top team. Most likely, yours will be working for mine someday if he can actually get into community college.

Now, once again, go get your f^€kn shine box! [/quote]

Again with the goodfellas? Your son must be so embarrassed of you.

My point wasn't about whether little Johnny met the index criteria, dumb dumb. It was most of the top players at the top schools hold backs. A quick look at duke's roster shows at least 20 players are hold backs. Not ever player lists a birthdate so likely even.

Deemer class, myles jones, case mathesis, Kyle turri, Ben Scharf, chris coady, Seamus Connelly, Jamie Ikeda, John Schaffer, Alex prezioso, Brian daily, James Riley, joe kruy, Justin George,Morgan Kirby, justin gutterding, jack Rowe, will hemdrickson, Greg Shea,

My other point was the venom you spew on "cheaters" taking spots from true on age players doesn't seem to apply to your kid who had to use lax to get into a school he would not otherwise be able to. So the spot he is taking from a more deserving student isn't unfair? A little hypocritical no? [/quote]

Gutterding isn't a holdback if you equate that term with cheating.....he graduated in his proper year but then did a PG year. That is very different from someone repeating 8th grade then going to HS and having an advantage against younger kids.
