The coaches don't seem to care to see through the reclassifying game. It stinks on a whole bunch of levels, but the truth is that all the coaches care about is your graduation year, period, end of story.
My son's 2017 team now has four committed players, and another two who are close. 5 of the 6 should be 2016's, and I can promise you none of the college coaches care.
This is becoming as much about simple supply and demand at the top end of the college food chain as it is about trying to game the system.
The coaches do care. There is little scholarship money in lacrosse to go around, and they don't want to give it out in 5 year pieces with a redshirt year. So they'd like for you the dopey lacrosse parent to pay for a redshirt year before they go to college. Seems to be working out well for them. Lacrosse parents are idiots. You're chasing $5,000 to $10,000 in scholarship money at colleges running over $40,000 up over $60,000 a year. If you need the money for your kid to go to college, you're likely to have same or better luck with the financial aid office.
You're showing you're ignorance if you're talking about scholarship $$. It's all about getting into a college you're son may not get into otherwise. Way more valuable then scholarship money IMHO.
