Yes or maybe you stop doing all of these summer tournaments and we have real leagues with managed rosters and a real youth national tournament. Not worried about ages(birth year vs. Graduation year) but some real management/organization from US Lacrosse.
When are all you people going to realize that US Lacrosse has no real power to do anything? Local leagues are going to do what they're going to do. And until the recruiting scene
actually changes, HoCo is likely to stay grade-based.
Maybe the new "recruiting rule" will help with some of this stuff, but unlikely. College coaches will still look at 7th and 8th graders, but only if they're real studs. And they probably won't go out looking for them, it will be that they happen to be there for something else and notice or someone will say "you need to go check out this kid."
Since 7th and 8th graders can play high school in NY (and perhaps PA as well), I'll bet they'll get more looks than MD kids. In my mind, no college coach should be offering anything to any kid until he's played at least a year of varsity level lacrosse.
