All this does is prove the point, that the lists are not 100% spot on.



You can't have it both ways, either the list is accurate or it's not? We keep hearing that all the players on any given list are there because the evaluators and coaches who make the list can't all be wrong. Btw the Brown freshman awarded the best HS player in the country is #46 on IL list of incoming recruits, it would appear the somebody has to be wrong about the ranking, wouldn't it?


Here we go again.

To answer your question, No.

Nobody has ever come on here and said any list is "100% spot on". Every time this issue comes up it is brought up by someone trying to discredit the a list , an accolade, or a team while also trying to diminish the accomplishments.

Nobody says "they can't all be wrong". What has been stated is that: the large majority of players who are recruited by the top college programs, are listed by Inside Lacrosse as a Top 30 - 40 HS player, are selected as an Under Armour All-American etc... Do go on to have very successful college careers at many of the top programs.

Being the "Best" player is not the criteria for The U.S. Lacrosse National High School Player of The year Award.






I will say it. They can’t all be wrong!
There are so many teams, awards, honors etc... And you see all kinds of names popping up here and there. Then there are the names you see everywhere, over and over, small groups of kids that really do seem to make all the top teams, cuts, lists, whatever. Yes, that very small group of reoccurring players in each age class that does get recognized any and everywhere, yeah, they can’t all be wrong.


Tom Brady went in the sixth round, Mike Piazza in the 62nd round - it looks like they were all wrong...


Those players didn’t deserve to be drafted any higher at the time. Yes they developed into great players later, but nobody got it wrong by not identifying what they would become. If you want to identify a player in the NFL where they did get it wrong look to the the players selected, not to the players not selected. Ryan Leaf for example and a million others. So obviously it is hard to predict how a player will perform at the next level, whatever sport and whatever that next level is.
