Tufts is awesome. I'd send my son there any day of the week. They can beat most D1 schools. Although, I don't know how the new coach from Taft prep school is going to do.

Possibly missing point on education ?

Uh....I think you have smoked the JUMBO weed. Good school. Nice lax program. NOT beating most D1 schools.

Outside of top 25, They would beat a lot of them.

Dude, Jumbo was a true hero, saved many lives, show some respect! Isn't anything sacred anymore?

Correct. Also, Good kids get a lot of playing time and great education.
Look at Amherst, Middlebury, MIT... all amazing schools which have lax programs. Why would anyone think their little Johnny superstar needs to go to DUKE and sit the bench?

I always find this argument to be silly, most kids that go to Duke are not going to "sit on the bench" they are going to Duke to play, they may wind up sitting on the bench but in most cases they thought they would play, they were the stars of their HS teams and the best players on their club and all star teams. these are 18 year old stud athletes and great students who have all the confidence in the world that they will be on the field memorial day weekend. Last I heard Duke and Tufts both can only play 10 players at a time and Duke has a 42 player roster while Tufts has a 51 player roster so in fact more kids are going to Tufts to sit on the bench then are going to Duke to sit on the bench. I would be very happy sending my kid to either one.

Great response!

not really. if you think you have same chance of playing on duke or tufts, you are insane. think the point was go to best school possible and forget what division it is.

If you are a great HS player with great grades and Coach Danowski thinks you can play lacrosse at Duke, please enlighten us to what the down side is? you get to Duke and don't get a lot of playing time and after four years you have a Duke degree and your kicking yourself because you could have gone to a better academic school than Duke and gotten playing time?

My advice to you is never ask out a beautiful person they might be to good for you, and never apply for that great job, too much competition...how can you seriously make a comment like "go to the best school" when you are talking about Duke and Tufts. Please find your great academic school with a mediocre team so you can get your participation trophy and don't ever challenge yourself to be the best at anything leave that to the winners and the Dukies.

Still don't get it. Go put your Duke sweatshirt on!

what are the majors on the Duke roster and what are the majors on Tufts roster?

its all about preference FOR THE KID

Does it really matter about them beating D1 schools or that it is a great school?
