To be fair (at least to the freshmen pre-season rankings and other HS rankings), they are made by looking at the player within the context of the high school game. College is a different game with different team needs, tactics, systems, rules, etc. IMO it is extremely difficult to project how players players will do in college in many team sports, including lacrosse (as opposed to individual sports or team sports that are very individually skill-based like swimming, track, gymnastics, baseball, softball, etc.)LaxDadMax wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 6:08 pmjff97 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 1:57 am ILWomen put out their freshman impact rankings, a list of the top 25 freshman in the country so far.

Use this to further whatever agenda you wish.
