This rule is going to be terrible for parity in college lacrosse. Especially on the girls' side. MD was offering 8th and 9th graders and filling their class up by the time they were done 9th grade. There were a lot of misses in those classes in terms of girls that didn't continue to develop for whatever reason. Now MD and other top schools get to wait until their junior year before offering these kids. By then, they will have a lot better idea of who is going to be the top players at the next level.
