One concussion from this is that the lists and how they’re made can always be improved with more effort

The majority of players from Long Island do not want to stay on The Island, it doesn't matter if they are on the "lists" or not, most do not want to go to school on The Island. The players that do make the so called "lists" generally have many options that are more appealing than SBU for a variety of reasons (academic, lacrosse, social, overall experience etc...).

JS does not "pick local girls that are not on all the lists", if he could get the players that make the lists he would take them. He gets the players who are willing to stay on the Island many of which are excellent players.
