That’s an odd question. Do you mean how many Whitman kids will be on Div 1 teams next year or how many kids will play Div 1 next year or how many kids have the talent to be on/play at a Div 1 school? Kids pick schools for a lot of reasons; coaches recruit kids for a lot of reasons. Div 1 coaches recruit a lot of kids who never play. Early recruiting has changed the college landscape. Top D3 teams can surely compete if not outright beat many D1 teams. I know this is a lacrosse forum, but hopefully we have taught our kids that college lacrosse is fleeting while a college education and the college experience can be life changing.
Since there might be a valid or perceived difference in talent from a D1 and a D2 or D3 player, maybe the question is how many so-called Div 1 kids has Whitman played against and what did those games look like. (10-4 record; three 1 goal losses; one 3 goal loss)
