Diamonds in the rough? You mean possibly add one of the many you've invited down and given the hard sell to, trying to convince us that your program is necessary for my kid to get that D1 scholarship? Or was it the Bluefish or Empire that that was going to get my kid recruited? Guess whatever team is affiliated with 91 has the magic....Hurricanes, South Shore Ducks....wow, that's a lot of kids going D1. Keep those kids away from those other programs. It's all about that $, bout that $, bout that $.

Team is really not weak in any specific area but I'm sure they would like to add quality if they can . any organization would no matter how good they are
If your goal is to play on one of the top teams then you go to 91 tryout and see where you stand. I think we all agree it's considered the top club right now. Express has fallen back a bit and the rest aren't as close . Nothing bad about the rest just the way it is now
Thanks for trying to speak for us "all", but I'd suggest that we don't "all agree, especially the players that step on the field each week to play against them.
I am so tired of this, you all are crazy. I know first hand that 91 gets most of their players by having parents go and recruit players from other teams. the kids that make the top teams have already had conversations with the coaches before the tryouts. the rest of the kids who show up pay for the tuition of their stud athletes they bring in. they consistently make phone calls to parents every night and the numbers come from these stupid parents that think if they give the coaches names and numbers of good players that their kid will then get the nod for one of those teams. I know 2 fathers personally who have been feeding the program names of other boys in hopes of having their boys make the team. we also heard that they give parents discounts off their tuition to go to other tryouts and talk to parents. A good program with a good reputation should not have to stoop to these levels. Its unfortunate for these parents that are essentially spies. they think Natasha the gorgeous Russian is really in love with them and then they find out they were used to get government secrets.
I truly am starting to HATE travel lacrosse. God forbid if these guys don't get every good player out there. On top of everything they offer major discounts or full scholarships to some of the boys they are looking to get to play with them.
And Yes I do kids who have gotten scholarships(not because they are financially strapped either)
