That is the sales pitch they are using. In fairness, so is every other club. I am of the opinion that non NLF clubs will likely never have a high level ACC recruit. Because lax is structured on tiers with the creation of the NLF and NLF member clubs seem just attract the best talent.
Just look at all last years 4 and 5 stars. Hence, picking the right club matters.
You'll see fewer LI players committing to big D1 programs going forward. The skills are about equal but the out of state teams have better athletes. LI has too many players that are either big and slow OR small and weak. These players are not desirable to top college programs. Top college coaches want big, strong players with SPEED. You underestimate the speed of the game at that level.
1st... Non NLF clubs do have players that commit to ACC schools...granted not many but they do. Top players tend to play with other top players. 91 and Express have been the best teams on LI in recent past. True Blue has a 2023 going to North Carolina. Igloo has had a few ACC players.
2nd Not all players post their commitment on inside lacrosse. IL commitment page is fairly accurate but not 100%
3rd.. Yes LI will have fewer commits not because LI has Small or weak athletes. it's because Lax has grown tremendously outside of the traditional hot beds. More kids are playing high level lax around the country than ever before. Co. Fla, Cali. Texas Ohio and Canada are producing High IQ High skilled players
