• Every time I post Hero Sports utterly ridiculous recruiting rankings I promise myself that I won't do it again. Then I put my tail between my legs and break my own promise because I know some of you are talking about them.
The bottom line is a ranking like this is clickbait, pure and simple.
With that out of the way, here are the Ivy League schools that appear in the Hero top-50 national recruiting rankings:

The investors are betting that growing demand for live sports -- along with lacrosse’s fervent and well-heeled fan base -- can help sustain a new league. The PLL was co-founded by Paul Rabil, lacrosse’s most high-profile player, and brother Michael, a former football player at Dartmouth who serves as the company’s chief executive officer.
