Where are you getting 100 kids coming out for Varsity team ?? Not even close
100 come out freshman year for lax, by varsity obviously the hopefuls have dwindled.
At chaminade you have at least the 50 juniors who played JV the year before and the 25 to 30 seniors who were on varsity last year. So for varsity tryout , you are at 75 without much effort. Syosset , Farminfdale , Port all have freshman and sophomores getting time. Way smaller pool in public school. Even in the big public schools !
Of course the pools are smaller, even at the larger publics. We've recruited all your talented players. First we identify the best youngsters on the elementary age teams at LI Express. Then we figure out what besides lacrosse they enjoy. Some kids have to be given video consoles, some want some cool new clothes, heck a few just want us to give their Mom some nice earrings or stuff like that.
Then we start to get the recruiting packages pulled together. We research where they they might want to go to school. But even better than that we find out what they want to do later in life. If they want Wall Street, heck that's easy we can Rooms them a nice Investment Banking slot. They think they want to be a lawyer, no problem. They want to work on TV or movies? Do you know 17 ex-lacrosse players work on the Bill O'Reilly Show?
But at the end of the process who is gonna turn down a free tuition and a car? Not many.
So, yeah all the good players are at the Catholics.......
