My oldest is in 7th grade on a top club team. In your experience, how much of the recruiting is due to your son's HS team vs his club team. We are on the fence on private vs public.
Private without any doubt if you are looking to go D1. You can make it in Public, but it is so much harder. Look at MIAA commitments, many arent even that good besides playing in college rule MIAA league. But look how many are committed. And the majority will not see the field in D1.
With Lacrosse becoming popular in FL, GA, CA, TX ,NC the MIAA is slowly losing out to these states in Recruitment and actually playing in D1 . Looking over last years rosters of Final 8 in NCAA playoffs, ND has 1, UVA a 2, Duke 0, NC 6 , Georgetown 4, Rutgers 1 , Loyola 5 and MD has a bunch 7. A few actually start and play but majority ride the bench. MIAA aint what it used to be.
Wait... MIAA's senior class this year sending multiple kids to UNC, UVA, Syracuse, Penn, Cornell, Georgetown, Lehigh, Loyola, Maryland, Ohio State, Penn State, Army, Navy... three of the top ten kids are from the MIAA... your right its not what it used to be... its a lot better...
