Can you give an example of what TG values you were referring to? TG was once a top program now they are trying to remain in the 2nd tier with Liberty.
YJ may have some better teams at the older grades, with the exception of the 2016 TG team that just graduated who was better than YJA by far. The younger ages are up for grabs. TG 2023 beats YJA. Will be interesting to see how the 2024 teams do this year. YJ 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, did not do well at elite tournaments this past summer, in some cases loosing all their games. Liberty could be good this year as well. Igloo too, and a couple of the Leg teams. would love to see these teams play each other more often. CR sends these younger teams to MD for beat downs when they can't even beat , or wold have a great game with several LI clubs
Sorry but you just show your complete ignorance when you speak . Your 2016 TG team was not successful in any respect .Consistently list to YJ Defo ( only time they did beat them was after most YJ players were committed and put out a mixed team). Look at any of the accolades , US lax AA, UA AA, Inside lacrosse ranking of incoming freshmen , it's not even close . YJ 2016 Defo was easily best team in the country during the recruiting years . Going back to rewrite history just makes you look ignorant so it's easy to ignore everything you say after .
Ok, my comments about 2016 were here-say, but the ones about the younger grades are spot on!
In a 1-2 years the parents at the younger ages will realize that it's a mirage at TG as the play in B level tournaments against none of the top teams in the age group, at that point CR will reel in the best players with the promise of top level competition at A level tournaments and the recruiting potential that will be available to them at those tournaments
Some valid points, but there is a some significant trouble with some younger teams. Lack of talent, favoritism, poor coaches, coaches who don't show up. Many top girls are leaving because they are not interested in going to Maryland to get blown out. That is not helping anyone get better! There are several up and coming programs on LI attracting some of the better girls. Will be interesting to watch. Great for LI girls to have quality options other than the same old same old
