That problem (2-3 tier players) seems to be a common theme...


among most Tech sports. Be it soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball, lacrosse, and even football (these days), Tech has to find "diamonds in the rough" and players who fit their system. Football rarely signs 5-star players and 4-star players are hard to come by. Soccer and lacrosse have the same shortcomings when it comes to recruiting. Our recruiting would be great in the CAA or Atlantic 10, but ACC soccer and lacrosse are the best in the NCAA. Our soccer and lacrosse recruiting classes are usually in the bottom third every year. When you see mid-major schools win D-1 NCAA championships (ie: JMU in WLAX, Akron in men's soccer, and Coastal Carolina in baseball), that gives Tech fans hope, but playing in the competitive ACC wears down a soccer/lacrosse programs like Tech after 3 months of hell vs. superior talent.
