<p>with all due respect to Profmom, who is always on the money, it may depend on the sport.</p>
<p>lacrosse is a spring sport (which may impact the recruiting schedule), and most of the scouting takes place during spring of Junior year. Most top players pretty much know by then who is interested in them (some have been on the radar screen since sophomore year), and the service academies host top-prospect visits for lacrosse during early spring of Junior year (usually the first home-game of the spring lax season at respective academies), so the above post could fall within the realm of possibility depending on the sport, and I will venture a bit further and say depending on the school- it is my understanding the academies can recruit earlier, but that is based on information that is a few years old already! Again, the rules and timetable may be very different for football, basketball, and even hockey- lacrosse is still not as highly regulated, although it is coming.</p>
<p>Best to take Profmom’s advice and make sure to read through the NCAA rules and regs so as not to mis-step!</p>
