Another day, another 2 2017 commits. 1 LI FOGO from Commack to Maryland, 1 St. Paul's/Breakers A to Furman. According to Inside Lacrosse, 2017 class now up to 27 "public" commits. Crazy stuff when Furman starts taking 2017s. Congrats to the boys.
Why is it "crazy" for Furman? Do you not understand the direction this is headed? No one, or no organization will stop it. Least of all the NCAA. (think $$$) In football and basketball they are getting verbals from 7th an 8th graders. Just two or three years ago it was un-heard of to see a sophomore commit in lacrosse. Now we have freshman committing all over the place. It will not stop. Either this coming fall or next we will see an 8th grader commit. It is bound to happen. It has to. Some programs are nearly done at the 2017 level. Early recruiting is on a runaway train, with no signs of slowing down. I neither agree nor disagree with it, but one cannot ignore the path...
