Rankings are not really that far apart between the Ivy's, and what can change the ranking is landing a 5 star which can skew the final numbers. Plus, the service academies are getting higher ranked players where the education is comparable and the cost is free. New legislation will likely cap roster sizes at 48 which means you are only looking at 12 recruits or less per class based on need.

Need to trust the coaches in a highly competitive environment and that they're finding kids for what they will be in 2 years vs. what Inside Lacrosse is suggesting at 16. The Johnson kid is a great player and the Santillo kid has unlimited upside as well. Would be willing to bet there's a lot of diamonds in the rough, and believe that the coaches are looking for the kid that has the athleticism to develop before they arrive on campus.
