You are asking the Administration to Think.

That would depend on one's perspective.
I could make the case the other way.

Charboneau verbally committed to Cornell before the start of his junior campaign at Blue Ridge. One of the biggest reasons for his commitment to the Big Red was his relationship with Coach Peter Milliman. The three-time All-American at Gettysburg College spent two and a half years in charge at Cornell before leaving to take over the Johns Hopkins program.

That prompted Charboneau to re-evaluate his college options. The senior attackman reached out to Milliman at the request of Blue Ridge coach Michael Herring, and the two discussed the possibility of joining him at Johns Hopkins.

“At first, I was timid to talk to Coach Milliman, but Coach Herring convinced me to hear him out,” Charboneau said. “In our first conversations, with him as head coach at Johns Hopkins, we talked for an hour and a half. He answered all of my questions and I was beginning to become sold on becoming a Blue Jay.”

reeder was a milliman recruit to cornell who flipped to stanford football. Xanders is know for his colorful language, but sounds like a good player jameson could've done some fine work with. David Shaw has a great rep so can't blame him, but wonder if PM tried to get him to come to Hopkins. Also not clear to me when a coach switches schools as PM did if there's a gentlemans agreement he won't go after kids he'd previously recruited to cornell.

Preferred walk-ons are guaranteed a spot on the roster. Their preferred status means the college coach wants the recruit on their team, but the coach doesn't have a scholarship for them. In football, this is a common way to recruit specialist positions like kickers and punters.

AIUI, without a scholarship, there is no legally binding contract, so I suppose the 'guarantee' is dependent on the coach's honor or at least his fear for his reputation.

Very interesting article - highlights just how much deeper and more competitive lacrosse has become. When you have kids who are athletic enough to play power 5 football, you have some serious athletes playing lacrosse. I'd think it would be a bit of a wake up call to the pay to play lacrosse parents.

Star gets in trouble, walk on gets kicked off the team.

So, they are useful.
