I didn't expect the game to evolve as quickly as it has to a "bigger, faster, stronger" contest.  (I'm a broken record around here complaining about pinched, offset heads with fishing net pockets)

That's a contributing factors to why CNY talent has fallen off from what it's been in the past but the growth of the game is the single biggest driver (more kids who might've dedicated themselves to football now pick lax).

I grew up in Syracuse and live in suburban Rochester.  The public high school of the town I live in has produced a few (1-3?) DI players every decade or so. It's not a factory by any stretch.  We've already had two kids who would've been in this year's Sophomore and Junior classes leave to reclass at NE boarding schools (last year and 2 years ago).  They are very good players but I think only the should be Sophomore is likely capable of playing on a Top 20 DI team (assuming his current trajectory continues).

I think outside of very large metro areas like Long Island, Philly and Baltimore, DC/NOVA it's going to be increasingly rare that Top 20 DI lacrosse talent stays at public schools and doesn't go private.
