Sort of interesting how some schools have a lot on the rosters, 6 for Syracuse and Notre Dame; while others have few, just 1 for Duke and UNC. While Rutgers has 8 on the Big Ten squad, and PSU has 1 and UMd 0.
I think I heard that it's $700+ to play in either of the Committed Academy or Committed Combine events. A lot of these kid's families have already spent $5K+ this summer on Club Fees, Travel, etc. In addition a lot these kids have probably already played 4-5 tournaments.Take little from listings. Plenty get invited to all these lax n IL events and many decline. The reality is you have to pay for play . Some attend everything they can, some select a few n some go to very little. Reason why some relative unknowns to IL suddenly appear n shine above highly ranked kids. . Not every family can afford the direct and associated expenses nor does every kid want to especially the multi sport atheletes who are involved with another sport or want to give their bodies a break , and believe it or not some kids actually work summer jobs .
