Vague recollection:

CHC: 64
BL: 60
LB: 60
AS: 58-60
Everybody else: generally 48-56.


Both the CHC and LB rosters were light on seniors (10-15) and 0-5 freshmen. The former number is partly because kids who lettered in varsity (or didn't) in 10th or 11th, but who rarely played varsity in 11th and don't expect to play much as seniors or play in college, opt out, to pursue another sport for their college applications. (This is about the first time a coach gives them a realistic view of what the next year looks like for them).

The # of freshmen is realistic and you should heed it, despite what a recruiting coach told you last winter or this fall, about how your son is for sure D1 potential as long as you cut that tuition check. Because unfortunately he told that same thing to 50+ other kids.

Take off your socks and work on your counting skills. Thank God you're not an eyewitness in a capital murder trial..... Varsity rosters, smaller schools (lower high school boy enrollment) low to mid thirties, some of the larger all boys schools have around 50. Fact: The best player (at the collegiate level) to come out of this Conference in the last ten years played JV for one or two years because the varsity coach had a loaded attack and it was better for him to get game time experience. I've seen freshman who make varsity never play a significant role for four years and seen multiple players be on a JV team as a sophomore make first team AA D1. The decision is Program and Kid specific. There is a group of kids (10-15) on every varsity roster who want to be on the lacrosse team for social reasons (they don't plan to play collegiately).
