I was being snarky about the posters on this site who claimed his rankings were meaningless and that none of his opinions mattered because "he never played the sport." Personally I liked the rankings and the discussion it brought to the sport.HopFan16 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 1:25 pm Major loss for IL.

Also don't see why this would be a cause for celebration. If you're someone who dislikes the IL recruiting ranking system, I doubt it's going to get better now that their most knowledgable staffer when it comes to high school players is leaving. So if you thought it was bad before I'm not sure why this is a good thing for you unless his departure forces them to tear down the system entirely. In which case, then, yeah, I guess you'll be happy.
Not sure where I read it it but, supposedly IL has paid individual evaluations. These "evaluations" almost always result in someone being a 3 or (rarely) 4 star recruit. Can anyone verify this?10stone5 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 1:30 pm Not surprised TX is leaving.
IL took over what TX had started up on Recruiting Rundown, for which TX borrowed liberally from the original lacrosse recruiting database on LaxPower.
IL said recently they changed their recruits grading system, so possibly the writing was on the wall for ole TX.

Thanks for the clarification 10 Stone. When I posted my question earlier I was apparently repeating wrong information I had read on other chat boards. My apologies to IL and their staff.10stone5 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 3:04 pm Here is ILs ‘Get Evaluated’

Not that I am celebrating, but I could see some disappointed Blue Jay fans who thought that perennial top five and occasional number one recruiting classes would lead to routine FF appearances and the occasional national championship. At the end of a disappointing season, it is an understandable impulse to lash out at those providing the rankings and at the posters here who uncritically echoed those rankings.jff97 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 2:15 pmI was being snarky about the posters on this site who claimed his rankings were meaningless and that none of his opinions mattered because "he never played the sport."

He's a 2025 recruit. The list is for 2024.10stone5 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 3:26 pm They missed on Dylan Sanderson out of Hill Academy,

They certainly had paid evaluations but only IL would know for sure the star distribution. Anecdotally, I know you could submit highlights and/or attend certain showcases.oldbartman wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 2:31 pmNot sure where I read it it but, supposedly IL has paid individual evaluations.

IL took over what TX had started up on Recruiting Rundown, for which TX borrowed liberally from the original lacrosse recruiting database on LaxPower.

Funny enough, the new IL recruiting guy, Dan Kaplan, just posted an FAQ that answers a lot of the questions people here have about their ratingsDip&Dunk wrote: ↑Fri Dec 22, 2023 1:08 pmThey certainly had paid evaluations but only IL would know for sure the star distribution.

Just read it. A bit more clarity. When briefly looking through recent recruits scores, I'm not finding any 92-95 scores. Just as well, putting those scores on a kid would create unrealistic expectations for most. Plenty of college AAs have "come out of nowhere"jff97 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 22, 2023 2:16 pmFunny enough, the new IL recruiting guy, Dan Kaplan, just posted an FAQ that answers a lot of the questions people here have about their ratingsDip&Dunk wrote: ↑Fri Dec 22, 2023 1:08 pmThey certainly had paid evaluations but only IL would know for sure the star distribution.
