How are the boys doing at SUSA this week? I'm hearing there are a lot of coaches. I'm stuck at work. Lots of coaches. It is also really, really hot!! Hopefully a bunch of 2025s find homes after this week. Clock ticking. I think the dead period starts August 15th.

If that were completely true, there wouldn't have been so many D1 coaches at 2025 games the past few weeks. There are plenty of programs with slots to fill.

Meaning they are looking for a single position and it won’t be middie or attack. It will be a goalie or defender or fogo.

It's still happening. Smithtown attack kid just committed recently too.

Yes but my point is that these players were at the very bottom of the coaches’ lists and the odds of them seeing the field is usually very low.

A lot of good talent left. Better than some of the ones commited almost a year ago.Some needed more help with athletic or academic money and schools waited to see what they had left before offering.

Agree but most of these late summer 2025 commits indicate a lack of major interest from the coach and they will have a lot to prove if they want to earn time.

Why can't we just be happy that these kids are happy and finding places to play college lacrosse and be a part of teams?
Congratulations to all of them.

Once you get to college it is a whole other world. You don't show up and think since you were an early recruit you have a better chance of playing. In college you have two evaluation periods. Fall Ball and Early Spring ball. That is when playing time is decided, not if you jump into a commitment in September or if you get committed a year later.

Keep dreaming, College Coaches have team picked out already. They know who is talent. Yes, the occasionally player gets to top, that is very rare. Most college teams have very little unknowns do anything,,,

They interview top D1 head coaches specifically about recruiting. All of the coaches acknowledge that many of their top prospects over the years were late commitments. You'll note than many of the top programs don't fill out their entire recuiting class in Sept/Oct because they know that there will be late bloomers that slip through the cracks and they want the flexbility to grab them later.

Late bloomer case I am not buying. Everything is transfer portal. Late bloomers are gold kidding me? Every sport knows this but coaches just cannot put their finger on it. If a kid is small and is pretty good what happens when that kid grows and actually gets as big or bigger than other kids? Kids that develop late get shafted on front end of recruiting but that can work for them. They get a chip on their shoulder, work harder and surpass other kids athletically which is why they end being so good. If you go through any pro sport so many of the players were late bloomers. Problem is a lot of kids quit or give up when they do not have same testosterone as other kids but the ones that grind through it take this biggest jumps once they grow. College Lacrosse the athletes do best. Everyone is good at lacrosse but who can really get better in college. Who has room to develop more? It is the late bloomers they have not hit their ceiling yet and are the bigger stronger athletes a lot of the times.

All of these coaches are trying to FIND the late bloomers or later bloomers. I heard one coach say last September "A lot of these boys still have braces. I'm projecting what I think they WILL be when they get on campus."
I wouldn't listen to anything Tillman says though. He's a snake and is ALL transfer portal. So many LI boys have gone there, hated him/it and transferred elsewhere. Even if my kid were good enough to play at Maryland, I'd never have sent him there.

If your kid is good enough to play at Maryland he most likely has interest from a better academic school.
