Let me throw this question out there...This kid was ranked the #7 recruit in the country in his class by Inside Lacrosse and was the only Long Island player listed in the Top 25. Was this recognition based more on his high school or club experience?
The individual player rankings are a crock. It's all about generating page views for his organization and nothing else. Nobody can even come close to nailing college team rankings (remember Loyola?) let alone thousands of high schools let alone tens of thousands of high school players. The "evaluator" of these rankings admittedly mostly paruses the club circuit in the Baltimore area and talks mostly only with club coaches. I'd be shocked if he speaks to the High School coaches more than the club coaches because quite frankly the high school coaches probably don't give a crap about his mythical rankings - it's only the clubs that get more marketing juice out of these player rankings that care about it. Look how many D1 committed kids to top 10 programs were not recognized by this farce.
