I'm new to this thread and this website and am also not that familiar with lacrosse. I was at a swim meet last night and a parent mentioned that a sophmore in their high school had already committed to play lax at Notre Dame. Is that technically possible?

I know that in the swimming world, students can't be contacted until August 1st after their junior year and I know some very outstanding students for whom this was true. One went to Georgetown, one to Emory and another to John Hopkins.

Do different sports have different recruitment timetables? I can't believe an 'about to be' junior had a legally binding committment to play at Notre Dame.
