Let's change the discussion to parity in Men's D1 lacrosse. Duke gets beat at home by Air Force 11-10 !!! With all the top recruits and multiple PG's all over the field for Duke, they fall to a squad mostly comprised of kids who were not highly recruited...
Parity is here to stay folks. You will see more of this with different teams throughout the year. Let's face it, we were a broken foot and a missed shot or two from having Brown and MU in the final last year.
Just sayin' and not disagreeing with the overall point, but AF has a lot of athletes do a PG year as those men don't get any significant breaks from the academic and military training elements of being at the Academy.
Fair point. However, consider this: Duke has had the top 1,2 or 3 recruiting classes for many years. Supposedly getting the best players year in and year out. By that measure alone, they should beat AF with their second line at every position. Point is, most of these Coaches have no idea what they're doing with recruiting. Ty Xanders and the rest of these morons that "rank" kids, have even less of an idea of what they're talking about. If they were even close to being right, Duke would have won that game yesterday by 10. Parity is here to stay. My second prediction is that all this early recruiting over the last few years will only increase the level of parity.
