i think it is important to realize that a full ride in lax is beyond rare. I played with Dom Starsia at Brown and remain in close contact. He is now in his 23rd year as head coach of VIrginia. In that time he has given 4 one year full rides and all 4 of those cases were not because of the players skill. You have as much chance to win powerball tonight as your son does of getting a full ride to play lax (unless for army, navy or air force) Grades will help you get into a better school but watch what you wish for. It is very hard to balance academics, lax, and social life.
