all those New York kids have D1 athletic ability and a bunch have D1 football size so if they played football year-round they could probably be D1 football players.

I think that’s where NY lax does pull kids away from football.  D1 type kids are playing lacrosse year-round and that’s why they’re playing D1 lacrosse.  Football is not a year-round sport in New York the way it is in the south.

At the end of the day it boils down to where the kids commitment and dedication lies. Grayson high school in Georgia has a $200,000 weight room just for the football team, those kids are working out with paid trainers year-round to play football.  They produced 15 D1 kids in one season a few years back.

We have 60 kids at the high school level playing fall lacrosse right now in the middle of football season.   They also play in the winter and then their spring seasons and then full go in the summer.  entirely different animal than football New York.
