Counting college commits seems to be a reach. If a program has bunches of kids committed to VMI, other 3rd tier programs, that is supposed to be a wow attraction. Not following that. The number of VLC and Blackwolf commits in face is high, the percentage of them going to lower tier programs is also high. Some lower tier D1 programs exist to attract full tuition paying families. Nothing wrong with kids making an academic choice to go to one of them, but to market it as a club lacrosse team nailing it for placements is pretty empty.
So you're saying that if a kid commits to a D1 school like VMI that you don't deem "worthy", it somehow diminishes that kid's accomplishment? If that's the school (D1 or otherwise) that a kid wants to go to, who are you to say it's not an accomplishment?
If you want to play that game, look at the Madlax 2015 list. I see names like St. Joe's, High Point, Denison, Tufts, Mary Washington, Ursinus, W&L, Colby, NJIT, Wooster, Queens, etc.
That team had 4 kids out of 16 that went to "brand name" schools. Are you going to tell those parents to their faces that their sons' commitment to those school is not worthy? Everyone on that list (or any college commit list) should be proud and given due respect. What a jerk you are.
