But I think the extra covid year players should be almost over.
I do think that players learned something from the covid extension, and that more players will be taking a redshirt year and saving one year to play as a grad student. In watching NCAA lacrosse this year, the grad students were just fantastic. They are bigger, more mature in their game, and overall just superior to 18 year old freshmen. I think the coaches are going to play the 23 year old grad student over the freshman.
My daughter played 4 straight years, from when she was 17 to 21, but she was a lot bigger and better at 21 than at 17.
