The bottom line is how in the world does a 17 yr old get to call himself a 2017? It matters at these individual showcases. When a 17yr old can call himself a freshman theres something really wrong.
Why is lacrosse not like elite club soccer? Soccer is all age based. Girls playing U-16, U-17 can be in odd school years as holdbacks. Nobody in soccer seems confused if they are recruiting a specific U16 kid who is a 2017 or a 2016 at a tournament. Do we have a confidence problem that NCAA lacrosse coaches can't read the school year from a tournament roster sheet?
