Kids are graduating high school at 20 yrs old. Insane. It used to 17 or 18. Now 20 is not uncommon. Look at that preseason high school top 10. Avon, haverford, boys latin etc. 20 yr old freshman, look at those photos, they look like grown men. Plus 150 grand to go there. All to get an edge in lacrosse. I'm a middle class kid from long island, now in his 40s , I guess I just can't relate.
I'm also a middle class kid from WI LI, 34 years old and I am completely disgusted by what has happened to lacrosse over the last 5+ years. It has so rapidly devolved into a any-cost scramble for the elusive D1 roster spot. I played D2 and enjoyed every second of my time in college. I can't imagine being one of the 60 players praying for playing time. I forgot to mention, I graduated with $16,000 in debt and began working in the financial industry within 3 month of graduation. I wouldn't change a thing about my experience. Please people, think through your decisions and don't force kids to rush through their teen years. Let them enjoy the time.
