So what you're saying is that all freshman are the same and get the same offer. Or, if they don't, their CONTRACT is renegotiated every year. If you are a top tier recruit, why would you agree to that? The fact is coaches tell the blue chippers that scholarships are not rescinded or reduced for lacrosse or even injury reasons, only disciplinary or academic reasons. If it s not a full offer, they tell them that they can only increase based on performance.

If the school does not honor that agreement, their word is diminished in a very small world. They will have difficulty making the next recruit who has many options to believe what they say is true. The top programs know that is a death sentence.
