Fall scrimmages don't count for squat Einstein.

Yes they do, at this level. By 8th grade, all kids on elite level travel teams are hoping to play lacrosse in high school and college, and most are playing year round. Most teams have roughly the same roster as they do for spring and summer, and often it is the weaker players missing, which is actually a net plus. And, in the rare case where a team is missing a large chunk of its roster, they choose they choose their tournaments accordingly. So if team A beats Team B when both teams have 90% of their rosters, that is a good indicator of where the teams stand.

By the way, I love the word "scrimmage" - were the coaches on the field stopping play when they wanted to teach something?

This is laughable. If you think elite lacrosse players aren't playing basketball, wrestling, box lacrosse and other sports right now over getting gimmicked out of thousands of dollars to travel to FL and CA to play a couple of games. Then I have a bridge to sell you. The fall is a hodge podge of whoever is available, even on "Elite" teams. But you're club director told your team "you guys are so close" in a game this fall so you believe him.

With that attitude , D1 is not in the future for your son. If you arent elite and playing and devoting most of your time to lacrosse. Look at D2 and D3 schools.
