You are the same person that says it's not cheating. Very precise and unable to understand the spirit of things.


Think he is talking about recent NCAA legislation to ban recruiting or even talking to players prior to Sept 1 Junior year. That includes talking to the players club coaches . Went into effect April 26. You will no longer hear about any 9th or 10th grade commitments this year or in future . The only commitments you will hear from now on this year will be class of 2018 and on Sept 1 Class of 2019 commits.

This takes away the critical 8th grade year as so important for recruiting 9th graders. That recruiting of 9th graders in many respects helped fuel the fire for getting any advantage for your child at 8th grade down. Club Directors were biggest proponents of we need grade based players to show college coaches 9th graders for recruiting.

Well all that is gone now. But I am sure there will be new excuses for grade base without age restritions. Hopefully some sanity comes back to youth club. But the money grab bag is out there. That will be hard to stop.

Wonder how the lacrosse world will survive without the constant talk of 9th grade commits ( over 100 this year) and 10th grade commits ( over 250) ..the Horror the Horror..


just an FYI, College coaches are not banned from speaking with HS or Club coaches prior to 9/1 Junior yr. They may not use said HS/club coaches to communicate offers etc. But the can call the kids coach to ask if he's a hard worker, gets good grades etc.
