I know coaches have their short lists of kids they covet that they turn into the admissions folks but just wondering how many 28s realistically will end up on each A conference schools roster.

If your kid is on an elite team and is a top 3-5 player on that team you should have already been in contact with coaches.


here is what I can find on the size of the 26 classes.

all subject to blurry eyes bad counting and likely to change on a year by year basis.

but you can see the range, i guess.

loy 46 (27 FS, 16 JV, 3 V)
spal 42 (13 FS, 25JV, 4V)
calv 34 (18 FS, 14 JV, 2V)
stm 25 (24 JV, 1V)
jc 18 (12 JV, 6 V)
sev 17 (15JV, 2V)

couldnt find info on bl, gil, mcdo, msj stp.

my guess is bl and stp are closer to the top of the list, while mcdo, msj and gil are all in the middle of the pack.

So it looks like the answer is that most places will bring in as many freshmen as possible and then let the winnowing process figure things out from there. We've heard from four HS coaches and they're all very nice, but that's been my general impression of how it would go down in practice.[/quote]
This must be a Baltimore / MIAA thing. There’s not much, if any, recruiting going on at the DMV schools. Kids who are interested in going private typically do a “shadow” day at the school and then take the SSAT and apply to all of them. If/when they get in, they decide. There’s very little financial aid for kids coming to these schools unless they’re from PG county. Not sure I’ve heard of a lacrosse kid getting aid. Or recruited. St John’s does recruit a bit, my kid was contacted, but that because they have to.
