What I said is that most D1 lacrosse rosters are loaded with kids from prep schools and wealthy neighborhoods. Look at almost every ACC roster and see how many players are prep school kids. Majority of roster
This is true.
But there are still many kids from "regular" towns in Upstate NY and from here on Long Island. There are plenty of D1 players who aren't from Garden City / Manhasset / CSH.
Of course there are, but even those students from Md, California, Florida, and Texas are prep school kids and every roster has an IMG graduate now.
Of course they are. No other way they could get recruited other than repeating 9th grade in private. Only way to compete against LI public kids is to play down a year or two. These kids all get their asses handed to them when they play on age. Parents then realize, holy crap "my kid is not so good". So at 14 they play against 12 year olds to get noticed... At the moment it's working. However, many of these kids are not competing well, or panning out at the next level. You'll see.
