I really don't get all of this. My 2017 got no attention last year. He is not an early bloomer, and had to develop confidence and aggressiveness. One of the "experts" told us we had to reclass and have him do a PG year. We ignored him, because life is not about lacrosse. Instead he worked hard, hit the weight room and did some speed training. Early fall he got an offer from a top 5 program and another from a top 20. Much to his younger brothers dismay, the lower ranked lacrosse program is a better fit for his academic interests, so that is his decision. He is thrilled to have the opportunity he was given.
Have we tweeted to the world or gotten his video on Inside Lacrosse? Nope. He realizes he just made the first step. He now needs to continue to improve his game, gain muscle, work hard in school and continue hanging out with kids who don't party and get in trouble. He knows he is a sophomore, a lot can change in 2 and a half years.
Ty Xanders would probably agree did you check with first ?
I don't know how those crazy, know nothing coaches managed to find him without Xander's expert opinion. Just because a coach has been to the final four or won an NCAA championship doesn't mean he knows more than Ty, right?
My point in posting was don't buy into the hype, and don't be surprised when some of the kids who are committed now become decommited later due to coaching changes or an inability to gain admission to the school. Pick the school that is a great place for your son's intended field of study.
