Ahem - looks like there were at least 4 lucky freak accidents in that game - ;)</p>
<p>Grad/dad is right - getting cut happens at other D-1 schools as well. Being recruited is not a guarantee of making the team.
Also remember Lax is a spring sports - many kids are looked at after the sophomore year. A very talented sophomore may not be so big, fast and strong as a college freshman. One “benefit” of being recruited to a service academy is that you are not “tied” to your sport to stay in school - (i.e. keep your scholarship)</p>
<p>Roster wise - Army lists 28 athletes on the men’s roster while Navy lists over 60 players. 60 players for two teams does seem a little heavy.</p>
<p>It would be a shame if Navy de-emphasized their lacrosse program - they have great competition in the Maryland area. It is becoming sort of like football in the spring.
BTW - am looking forward to Army/Navy lacrosse at in Baltimore this spring.</p>
