Rosters are interesting!

At one point our little old Western State team had:

CO, NY, LA, NJ, TX, ME, OH, MO, IL

9 states - not bad for a school of 2500 students. Gunnison, CO - 3 hours from anything bigger than a mountain town.

to piggyback on Brent's question-Tech, how many of those guys are from West Texas (aka-the lax wasteland)? Just curious to see if there a possibility of the sport maybe spreading out there.

David..you forgot that your goalie is from New Mexico

Out of 33 players at Texas Tech:
32 are from Texas; 1 from Colorado.

(From Texas = Went to HS in Texas)

How many are from the DFW area on your team? Just curious.

13, including myself.

georgia has guys from:

GA, NC, VA, MD, MA, CT, FL, NJ, NY AND TX

[MinesGoallie45]

Colorado School of Mines has

CO, TX, NM, AZ, CA, UT, IL, ND, VT and D.C.

[randalm]

Clemson has 13 states represented. And only 1 player is actually from SC.

VA, PA, NC, MD, OH, IL, NJ, NY, RI, SC, GA, CT, MI

It is interesting to take a look....

We have 3 WA, 4 OR, 3 CA, 4 CO, 2 IL, 2 ME, 2 MN, and even 1 from each of WI, ID, NH, TX, and Nebraska. It's a pretty random mix for a school of 2500....

not just 10 miles away in the same city.... in a bit bigger school, Pacific Lutheran, is over 60% from Washington, and they seem to have a team of about 30.

Just shows how different schools want to position themselves in their respective states. UPS and PLU strive to be some of the best private schools in Washington, but recruit from completely different places.

At Central Michigan we have 30 guys on the roster and only one is from outside of the state coming from NY. The other weird thing is that the closest HS to us with lacrosse is a little over an hour away.

[Vols2]

UT has 23 players from 7 states:

12 from TN
3 from VA
3 from NC
2 from MD
1 from OH
1 from DE
1 from NY

I was looking at VT's roster the other day and I noticed they have players from national powerhouses Loyola-Blakefield and Severn. I was surprised. Any other teams have kids from big time schools? I'm sure there are, but I dont know any off the top of my head.

[Dan Wishengrad]

I seem to remember a season when Stanford had about a 27-28 player roster with none from California. Perhaps a Cardinal alum from the mid-late 90s can confirm or debunk this? If my recollection is accurate would it even be unique -- an MDIA club with no home-state players?

[bbandlax]

BYU has kids from 18 different states. Would that be the most in the MDIA?

[the lax]

BC has the best team on paper with kids from Landon, Delbarton, Yorktown, Dallas Jesuit, Shady Side Academy, Malvern, Marin Catholic, New Trier, Kent Denver, etc.

11 different states represented. Its kind of remarkable that Cal-Berkley can't follow this model of being an elite academic school and having top notch players.

They won it all in 1998, and use to be a WCLL powerhouse. Tougher admisions have probably hurt the program more then the prestige of the school has helped.
