How are the commits going? All the big talkers here Transfer Portal has made most recruits obsolete, Yes the few will demand some attention, but majority will be throwaways. With the Portal so open, why take a HS player when there is a full class of 2nd and 3rd year college players out there. Sounds like somebody's son didn't get any 7/1 contacts...

Aint that the truth , but it is the truth. HS recruits arent as valuable as they were years ago. Besides starters, even in college, the backups are always looking at the portal for themselves or who is coming.

Class of ‘26 is very low talented lacrosse players. I've heard this said many times. I disagree with this claim as I've seen numerous players in the 2026 class play up with the 2025s in elite tournaments and showcases (non re-classes btw) and have a lot of success. We'll know the level of talent the 2026s have as a class when they get to college. The amount of 2026 players that earn significant minutes in their freshman and sophomore years compared to other classes will give you some legitimate evidence to measure your claim against.

Kids can go somewhere right out of HS, but aside from the top 50-100 kids per class, the chances of your son playing and contributing at their first college commitment are slim. College coaches simply don't know what they are looking at when it comes to HS players. They havent had to recruit them for years. They get it mostly wrong. And they really don't care. Because of the portal. Most kids these days have to commit anywhere they can, and then portal to a better location.

Problem with college lacrosse is they recruit 10th graders who’ve only played against other 10th grader's !!!

Correct. The good players play up a class or two, not down against younger kids.
My 27 has had a ton of looks already, because I've been playing him up as a 26 and he's been dominating all these reclassed underperformers.
