To the sarcastic question of how did it work our for all the kids that went to PG or Boarding school year; Can't speak for all, but certainly worked out well for my son. The known level of play, filmed practices and coaches connections and school reputation for producing top players worked out. My son is going to a top 25 school. That offer did not exist from that school prior to his pg year. And in terms of it being not just about lacrosse, agreed. He was more challenged academically and said if he were doing it all over again he would've gone there as a Freshman. All worked out.
