Read your post, looked it up, and was surprised. This might be a first on this board, My apologies, I was wrong and spoke out of turn. Be careful of how to rate a large school like Penn St. If you check a bit deeper into the US News report its admissions is rated as "Selective" as opposed to "More Selective" and "Most Selective". So you don't need great grades to get in. That is supported by its 54% acceptance rate which also is not great. 65% graduate which isn't bad but not great. So why does US News rank it as high as 37? When you have 40,000 enrollment you can treat 10% of your student body very well--those folks who don't care about football, drinking, etc. Do they have a good business school? Sure. But not all 40,000 have access. Someone mentioned Bucknell, which is #32. They have 3,500 students, more selective, 27% acceptance and 85% graduation. I'll throw a completely different look with Amherst College, #2 national Liberal Arts, 1,800 enrolled, most selective, 13% acceptance, 86% graduation. For fun, I'll pick another PA school that is private, Villanova. #1 Regional University, 7,100 enrolled, more selective, 45% acceptance, 85% graduation. Also remember US News segments its list to National University, Regional University and National Liberal Arts. Forbes throws them all in one basket, where Penn St is #166. According to Forbes it's Williams, Stanford, Swarthmore 1-2-3. They base their poll on cost of education vs earning potential of graduates. In the end, as I tell all folks I counsel, you have to pick the right school that fits your child. "school that fits your child" might be the most intelligent quote ever posted on this site bar none. Thank you. Many of these internet trolls throwing out all these rankings and about this school and that school, its nauseating. Don't they realize it's mostly BS used to sell magazines and direct internet traffic to certain websites? All these people all wrapped up in this nonsense. Recently read an article in the WSJ, written by an Ivy educated former Ivy professor. He has written a book debunking all these myths about the alleged perceived value of these "highly ranked" schools. In the end, the actual value is far less than one would think. Here's some anecdotal evidence for you. Know a girl that went Notre Dame, non-athlete, nearly $62k a year now. Very highly rated school. Surely for some on here not high enough, but high nonetheless. Parents made just enough money not to receive a nickel in aid. When all said and done, well over a $250,000 investment in their daughter. Those people had to earn nearly $500,000 after their tax burden to come up with the net $250k. Two and half years into college she decides she wants to be a teacher. She graduates and gets a teaching position at a beautiful catholic school. Maybe making $40k. A girl that got hired along with her, graduated from Cortland and went to SUNY Farmingdale for two years prior to attending Cortland. Her parents total investment all in, was nearly $50k. Please, I have got to hear the justification for dropping the other $200,000 for the superior ranking. Let's hope the folks who had to earn an additional $400,000 in pre tax money, to achieve the same result as the SUNY kid, found the value in having that Notre Dame sticker on the back of their ten year old mini van... But my kid played lacrosse there in a life changing experience now its over and she makes $4,000 coaching middle school LOL. Some of the debt that we all take on at these 40, 50, 60 thousand dollar schools with only a 10 or 20 thousand athletic package is nuts CR doesn't want us turning down D1 to play affordable D3. D3 is for the Wave and Liberty I was told

Tightly wound YJ parents are in lock step with CR, no one wants to be the kid on the committed page that says they are playing for a SUNY D3 school. Crazy parents bring their kids to YJ and TG in 3rd and 4th grade those kids don't choose to go at that age. Later kids might voice their opinion to stay but the parents are making the first decision.

The parents will be notified soon and the bitching will soon follow. Plus deal in place for 2 girls coming over jones team

The YJ way! Try outs are a joke anyway, money maker. Deals will always be made for known quantity players and try outs may yield a unknown stand out once in a while. If your banking on all roster moves and changes hinged on try outs, you have no idea how it does and should work. But fret not, CR knows how it works and has it all figured out. Sucks if its your daughter getting bumped to make room, but this is how CR puts the strongest teams together.

That's only if they move the F&F. There are plenty of girls that don't train with Curcio who may be sacrificed instead. Need to keep that gravy train rolling in.

Awesome game by both teams. Good guy very good coach and also very competitive. bringing 2 daughters(one at each age group) along with a couple of other players. The move will not effect TG 2020 all top players still intact. 2019 TG maybe different story.

Are you under the impression that if you are on YJ blue in 4th grade you are guaranteed to stay there through high school? Of course not. That's why there are tryouts every year. And of course they recruit players off other teams. And of course, if they recruit someone off another team, there is an understanding that they are making the team. To think anything other is going to occur is stupid and you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

Agree with most of what was said but not a TG only team that beat Carro, I believe over half of those kids that were on that rebels team that beat Carro will be YJ this year. Your 2020 seems to be losing at least 5 starters if not more , I know that team is mainly based on the 1 kid but losing 5 starters will have an impact, also losing that coach will have an impact.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Originally Posted by Anonymous You TG are pathetic. You act as if every little rumor you hear is a fact. Have I heard and read SS may be leaving for a better opportunity , yes, do I believe it, not really.Stop believing every thing you hear from some gossiping little girl. Are some TG kids coming over and going to try-outs, yes, will some make the top team, yes, do some deserve to make the top team, yes.So what, that's the way its supposed to work.Did a kid leave YJ 2nd team a few years ago and go to TG with promise of being on top team, yes. Was she one of their best players and most recruited kids and sign with a good school , yes.Happy for the kid , was a nice kid when playing YJ and is still a nice kid playing TG same as these kids will be. Don't lump us all in as pathetic. Quote a few pathetic YJ out there too ya know. They're everywhere.

A coordinated attempt to weaken the 2020 and the 2019 TG Black team.In my opinion especially the 2020 Black. Take the dad and about 6 of the best kids on the team. Great business play not sure if it worked as planned.

Great business play not sure if it worked as planned. At the end of the day it looks like CR succeeded in luring and securing some of the very top players from 2019, 2020, 2021. TG is weakened in all those age groups and YJ got stronger. All the age groups YJ was already stronger going into the off season, except 2020. Don't think TG is going to stay on top in that age group either with all the massive losses there.

Glad to hear it he does a nice job with the kids , hopefully all the others coaches will stay on Curcio team along w him. All the haters can say what they want but having Curcio ( a former stand out player who has assisted some of the best on high school and college level and is now head coach at Sachem) as head coach with assistants who are, one of the best college offensive players in the country, a former defensive all- American, a head coach of a successful high school team at your disposal is awesome. Add in from what I have seen an energetic youth coach and I am good with it.Coaching on just that team alone is better than many clubs have in their whole organization.

It will be closer but 2020 TG still has the kid that the whole team depended on, the kids that left will not make much of a difference nor will the other kids that stayed. 2 years from now its game over in my opinion because 1 kid very rarely dominates a game once the defenses get better and the sizes of the girls evens out a little as they go thru puberty.Even with less kids on that TG 2020 team there is only 1 ball and the kids that do not like to share it are still on TG.
