Can’t play senior year if you repeat freshmen year. LI not a great place to reclass cause of lack of private/prep schools. Lax may not matter that much. But going from a Richmond on age to a Duke as hold back makes a difference.
My guess is that most kids that reclass don't end up benefiting at all. They end up at D3 schools they wouldn't otherwise want to go to and could get into if they didn't even play lacrosse. Instead of choosing the best school for their future they choose one so the parents can tell people "my son plays college lacrosse".
With that said - there are kids that reclass that do benefit and get into a top school they otherwise would not have. I just think those cases are a really small minority.
