Does anyone know if this is accurate and true? If true, I would guess the reason is that they think the coach is a crackpot.


It happens at all the Ivy's, if you're not playing after two years it's time to move on, a lot of kids will opt for study abroad and many other options available to them rather than be a practice dummy, there's no scholarship money to lose, so its a choice that is easily made


Really? "It happens at all the Ivy's?" Last years Ivy rosters:

2019

Dartmouth: 9 Seniors.
Cornell: 7 Seniors.
Princeton: 7 Seniors
Coumbia: 7 Seniors.
Brown: 5 Seniors.
Penn: 4 Seniors
Yale: 3 Seniors.

I would imagine most Ivy's do not bring in more than 8 - 9 players per year. Some will no doubt be forced out due to injury and some go in knowing they are never see the field. Although all of the players going Ivy have excellent grades and test scores 1 or 2 per class will have "supe high" academics these kids and are not brought in for their athletic prowess.

95% of the seniors quitting is not normal and it does not happen all of the time at the Ivy's. More fake news.


It would appear that most have 10-12 freshman on the roster the past few years


No, it would not appear that most would have 10 - 12 Freshmen on the roster the past few years.

2019 Freshmen on Ivy Rosters:

9 - Princeton
11 - Penn
9 - Dartmouth
8 - Cornell
11 - Brown
7 - Columbia
7 - Harvard
11 - Yale

Below is Freshmen Class 2016 and Senior Class 2019:

Princeton: ...... 7 as freshmen - 7 as seniors
Penn: ............. 6 as freshmen - 4 as seniors
Dartmouth: .. 10 as freshmen - 8 as seniors
Cornell: .......... 8 as freshmen - 7 as seniors
Brown: ........... 8 as freshmen - 5 as seniors
Columbia: ...... 8 as freshmen - 7 as seniors
Harvard: ........ 8 as freshmen - 6 as seniors
Yale: .............. 6 as freshmen - 3 as seniors

Most players continue to play, they do not quit. Some stop playing due to injury and each year some stop for their own reasons but the majority continue to play. Also, keep in mind that in some situations players are brought in to help with the Academic Index . I would guess those players would be more likely to stop playing if they were not brought in for their lacrosse and or athletic ability.
