That is not a knock on the players but more so the growth of the sport. If you can run, chew gum and catch a ball, there is a school (D1, 2 or 3) that could use your daughter.
Think you are oversimplifying it. This area is packed with talent so a girl playing in The iaam who looks average or a girl playing against a top local club but not on one might easily still be a student despite not showing on the field. Also, some coaches recruit for specific traits like speed, stick skills, attitude, athleticism, not having fool parents(you know who you are) and know that they can improve the rest
Once they get into their system.
We have a huge advantage being in Maryland for lacrosse and sometimes we overlook that when we look to evaluate local talent and assume them to be average at best.
