All of this points to NCAA coaches needing to use some common sense to wait to see kids as juniors. At least take as much physical and other developmental unknowns off the table as possible. It is impossible to project now which 2017 kids will shine as collegians, but it is at least possible to identify candidates without just wildly guessing. Recruiting 9th graders is a joke.
If people would only start to realize how crazy getting an "offer" in 9th grade is... Our family has made the decision on wait, our son will not talk to coaches until he is a Junior. If they want him, they will wait. If he ends up not getting any offers because of our then he will walk on at the school he decides to go to. Actually, my son is super happy with this plan and his attitude has changed as far as he now has NO STRESS at all. Then again, my son is s very strong student and we know he will get into schools without lacrosse and we also know he will get academic aid too
