The funny part is that I’ve seen kids quit baseball in 11th and even 12th grade to start playing high school lacrosse and then go on to play college lacrosse, and this is having never played lacrosse prior at any level.
No you haven't.
I absolutely have. Lacrosse is a super easy sport to pick up late if you’re athletic. And if you play lacrosse in the MD area, you’d be surprised how far that can take you across the country to colleges in states that aren’t lacrosse powerhouses.
Correct. He hasn’t.
Of course he hasnt. He cant name one player in D1 who started in 11/12 grade in last 10 years.
But the main reason for his 11/12 grade fib is to justify his son not making an elite team, and to excuse his son not making team, his reasoning is anyone can make it later,so his son who isnt elite now can be elite and make the team in 11/12th. Sorry, just isnt happening in MD.
This is why many of the elite team parents on this board annoy everyone.
I missed the part where he said D1. Oh, that’s right, he didn’t. He said college lacrosse. There’s more to college lacrosse than D1. Plenty of your elite team kids are gonna end up playing D2 and D3 lacrosse in college alongside a lot of rec team players. Accept it.
