LE with 7 commits already. Another one to Lehigh today.
Let’s be honest. That’s a bit of a shocker.
Not to stick up for LE but you have 4 or 5 very smart kids on that team. They are not going to commit to schools just to play lacrosse. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't see an MIT or some other very high-level academic commitment.
I think that this is a good point, there are definitely kids out there, whether on LE or other NJ teams, that are holding out for the right academic fit. Also, the early commits are exciting, but as any college coach will tell you, this is a very long process. Top D3 commits won't even happen until the spring or summer. In general terms (and not talking about LE as their early commits are all good schools), I think that some kids start to feel the pressure and end up committing early to places that are not the best fit. I know that a lot of people do not believe in prospect days, but they are great for getting a feel for a school and the team, especially if they have a few players helping out.
