Will the excuses ever end? It starts in elementary school, continues through high school and even goes on during the recruiting process.
College coaches, especially at the most competitive college programs offer spots to players that they believe can help their program compete. The majority of programs bring in 7-9 players per year (average per year), coaches do not hand out spots because the family has a lot of money or because the father was a recognizable professional athlete. The rubber meets the road during the recruiting process and all of the parents and players will know exactly where the player stands based on the caliber of program that offers a spot.
Facts, not excuses. Please explain the disproportionate amount of wealthy prep school kids on college rosters at certain schools. Why is that? Are rich kids better at lacrosse, have more opportunities?
Maybe those kids are blessed with natural athleticism, worked extremely hard on their lacrosse skill/ability/IQ, put in the time in the weight room and made academics a priority as well.
