i think the point , the poster was making was pretty clear - if for some reason, you find your kid on the short end of the stick , dont sit there and let him rot away , that will not help him in the future , dont get caught up in the whole wsyl drama as if it is the end all be all, if your kid wants to play lacrosse at a higher level, you need to be more than a practice dummy . im guessing Bennan Oneill would be great regardless of where he played his travel lacrosse. that said, lots of practice , lots of reps in games, and great coaching will expedite the learning curve faster than sitting on the bench for any team,
Sometimes people get the short end of the stick. Happens all the time. Example: Two HS All Americans go to a top D1 school. They both have extraordinary talent and are for all practical purposes equally talented. But after two years, one of them gets an enormous amount of playing time while the other gets none. Why? The coach simply likes one better than the other. Not fair, but that’s the way it works. If your kid is the one with no playing time. What are you going to tell him?? Stick out the next two years on the bench, or transfer to an equally good team and get a fresh new start with a new coach? Exactly!
