Only problem is that recruiting goes by graduating year. So those who manipulate that (prep school brats) will always put the rest of us regulars folk at a disavantage. What is that saying, "the rich get richer"
BOTC is tired of reading this "graduation year" recruiting argument which is always followed by the "we are at a disadvantage" discourse.
Stop with the recruiting by class and go to the age-based system as prescribed by US Lacrosse. Again, as BOTC shared several weeks back, US Lacrosse firmly stands behind their U-age system. Grade and class based tournaments will be on the decrease as US Lacrosse "grows a pair" and starts putting some teeth into their recommendations.
I for one would be thrilled if that actually happened! My son who is in tenth grade is just going through the recruiting process. All recruiting is going by graduating year. Thats how the colleges are telling us the determine the needs of the team. For example, they say if they pick one 2016 goalie they are not likely to pick another from that graduating year. They could care less weather the sophmore is 14 or 17. It is really not fair, but I guess that's life!
