When you look at the YJ committed page (and other clubs to) you do see that there are many marginal schools on there that would never have gotten a sniff unless they were offering money so a girl could commit early. Bald Bear is spot on, lots of these kids wash out of lacrosse and I think it means more to most parents than kids on getting an athletic offer. Like someone said always pick the right academic school regardless of lacrosse every time. And did I read that right, more time on Lacrosse in D1 than academic studies??? Between year round commitment and extensive travel I guess it is a fulltime job
