I got a question from a player in Alabama who wanted to know how he can get recruited by Division 1 schools. Many of you already know my answer but here it is again.
Answer: Robert the best thing you can do is get out of Alabama as much as possible to play against those guys from the north. That's the only way you'll get the exposure to those schools.
The fact that your school is the best in Alabama means nothing compared to the hundreds of players who are fro New York and Maryland who will be applying to those same schools. I call it the "Top of the Bottom of the Barrel" rule.
The fact that you are tall, and an attackman, can really help you. But you have to get to camps, our tournaments to play as much as you can.
In lacrosse we actually lose a year of exposure to get recruited. Unlike fall sports and winter sports where you can play your senior year and that can affect where you go, lacrosse players really need to have their act in gear by your junior year.
An option that I took, and that you might take, is to transfer to a school with better exposure later in your high school career. Possibly to repeat your junior year etc. This can be tough on some families but if the dream is big enough you'll find a way to get it done.
Hope that helps Robert. Let me know if you need anything else.
