Everyone is entitled to their opinions, however I would suggest many, if not most, would not agree with your opinions. Most of the Div.1 talent comes from the MIAA and LI and upper NY. True the talent is expanding to other areas/states, but still not at the rate of the MIAA. And yes, look around, there are quite a few 5-8 players with superior stick skills dominating the game. Along with outstanding stick skills, they have a high lacrosse IQ, and this is sometimes lacking from players from other areas.
