Its really simple, if your kid peaked in 8th grade, early recruiting was great for you. Lots of midgets and middle school AAs on top D1 rosters. Otherwise, the late recruiting is better for all. Kids will get committed after going through puberty and have a better handle on whether they're truly good at or interest in lacrosse. Don't discount my second comment because D1 and top level D3 lacrosse is only for the zealots: those lacking commitment ring the bell..... Later recruiting is better for coaches because kids are more developed and you can honestly tell a kid where they're projected to be. I would like the rosters cut down to 35 at all levels as well. It would trim expenses and cut down on the amount of kids not playing.
