IMO, the top recruits for the class of 23 clearly are not coming from SW, M&D, Hero's as in the past. If you are a top recruit, whether you are visiting schools or not, the decision would be made by now.

^ really? It is day 13, the girls are back in school and visits (plural) work best on weekends of which, not counting Labor Day, there has been 1. Many girls from the clubs you mentioned are visiting (plural) the top programs. Those same girls are weighing high level lacrosse and high level academics in the hope of finding the right fit. It is way, way too early to say any club, clubs or region is doing "better" than another. Is a commitment to Harvard, Yale, Princeton not as good as one to BC, MD, UNC if the girl wants to emphasize academics over lacrosse?
