I get that. Why don't college lacrosse coaches have the sensibility to tell recruits to do a red shirt year their first year? If you break downwards the scholarship money from 4 years to same amount over 5 years you're not going to lose recruits. $40K total 4-5 scholarship money at a school costing more than that each year isn't going to shake out any lacrosse recruits. Why all this reclassify or verbally commit to PG year crap? Coaches should want the best recruits getting better on their field at the speed and intensity of college level, in their weight training program, etc rather than hiding at some prep school for an extra year lighting it up against younger kids. Lacrosse has become the ultimate sissy boy sport.
