Message: [QUOTE="Zack80, post: 2730092, member: 1245"] That R-squared value of .258 is not real high. It essential implies that 25.8% of the variance in team performance is given by recruiting, so recruiting is a factor but it can be overcome by other factors. From the foxsports article: "Today, however, evaluators have the benefit of attending national and regional combines throughout players’ high-school careers; high-definition video of their games; and, well, the Internet. As such, their hit rates are pretty darn good. " I don't know that we have reached that level with lacrosse. It does often seem that guys who don't make it to many (or any) IL events don't get ranked as high, which tends to lead to a number of under-the-radar recruits in lacrosse. [/QUOTE]
