Guys, your information is not quite correct. Holy Cross is hard to get into...Delbarton kids do get rejected. Only about 3 a year go. The school has better success with BC and Villanova and as a result more kids apply, and go, to those schools. Part of it is that those schools are bigger. And, Worcester is a consideration.
I question whether there has really been a long string of Delbarton lacrosse players at Holy Cross. The last one before the current freshman quit last fall.
Lacrosse recruiting by Holy Cross has been weak in NJ and everywhere else. There's an earlier post in this string....5 of the 6 leading scorers were not recruits. Recruits sit on the bench behind walk-ons. One or two contributing recruits a year does not make for a great program when your competitors are getting 6-8. There's not much follow-on from schools because kids don't come home at Christmas with great stories about the program.
That's probably part of the reason there's a new coach. This stuff needed to be fixed.
