Go check out the girls HS thread - 50% of all LI lacrosse girls playing in college DON'T play by their senior year. So when you are picking a school you better be going for the right reasons and not just because some 20 something year old coach at a $60,000 D3 school that no one has ever heard of asked your kid to play.
Parents need to grow up and push their kids to schools that fit them academically and socially and if lacrosse fits great but be aware that most are going to stop playing once we all stop pushing them. 5-6 hours a day all year to sit on the bench with 40 other kids isn't fun
once lacrosse is out of the equation you can always transfer to the better fit, many many college kids transfer that have never picked up a lacrosse stick - if you are a HS lacrosse player and want to play at the next level of course lacrosse will be a big part of your decision but not a big deal if you decide after a year or two to stop playing you can now stay or transfer
