The players you are trying to bad mouth are great players and will be great players in 4 years and the schools that picked them know this. If you look at 90% of all the early signings they are the kids that are bigger and project to become bigger. Its a smart gamble for these schools when they have 50 or so man rosters and only 10 people on the field at once. So in theroy they only need to hit on a 1 to 5 ratio.


That's the JHU, UVa and UNC early recruiting math. How's that 1 in 5 working out for those programs of late? The combined NCAA tournament wins in the past 3 years is 3. With due respect, good for the kids bad for the programs. Early recruiting is leading to disastrous impact on the youth game starting with 7th and 8th graders, and has so far resulting in garbage for results at the premier early recruiting programs. It is a dumb gamble by the NCAA programs, and is a silly thing when kids who have no HS grades are "committed" to colleges they may not be admitted at. UVa admissions said hasta la vista to two commits last year, and did not admit two verbally committed kids this year. The numbers go up at the Ivy schools. Princeton admissions declined 4 lacrosse recruits this December. Coach is basically doing a resume...he can't coach and not he can't recruit.
