Back of THE CAGE Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND MAIN FORUM Boys High School

Write up from National All Star Games Impressive group of players noticed and in my opinion extremely accurate. Thought competition was high level. Was interested in seeing if DP was going to get a write up and he did not which was the correct call as he was average at best. It is now a few events in a row he has been middle of the road could he fall out of top 10 definitely out of top 5 . Glad to see some of the Defensemen get noticed as they were dominant and created heck for other offenses all tournament

Just because a kid is doesn't know better and believes his self worth is determined by whether he takes a D1 offer doesn't mean a parent has to agree. I would much rather play 4 years for a top flight top academic D3 team than sit the pine for 2 years at a mid level D1. There is no pro level and no money to speak of for lacrosse. Its about PT and getting into the best academic school you can while having a positive collegiate experience. Mike drop!

Keep making excuses for not making it to D1.

The top level D3 teams like Salisbury,Tufts, Williams, and Amherst would blow out mid to low level D1 teams. That’s a fact.

Must hurt to not have son on a D1 team.

My older child was recruited to play D1 and chose D3 because he decided he wanted the social life college brings, without the intensity of D1. Not everyone who plays D3 is there because they can't make a D1 team. Personally it was the best decision for him.

Plus they actually have lives on campus. And meet people. Real people.

Everybody on the Island has that same excuse

Well then I guess they will be setting records at D3 schools while most D1 rostered players sit on the bench. To each his own.

Goalie at Tufts is Arlington kid who turned down a number of D1 offers. Same thing with the attack from Gonzaga who went there last year. Both kids would have easily gotten PT on D1 teams.

I don't think he will fall too far but probably will a little bit rightfully so. Agree on event

Who cares? He already committed to UNC.

He should care. NLI hasn't been signed. Coach/player can back out.

So dense. You really think one tournament will make or break you?

When his dad gets a job he will go with him anyways. Holding his spot just in case his dad doesn’t get hired somewhere.
