CORRECT. Sweetlax isn't really a "team". Its like what Crabs use to do with a rotating roster, we see how well that is working for the Crabs now (NOT!). Sweetlax wants the to USE the kids from Long Island, NJ or Conn to grab their better kids from Upstate (that is where Sweetlax is based).

You can play ONE tournament for them and they will slap your sons name, HS & college he is committed to on THEIR SITE. Turned us off last year (my kid is a 2016) and we bailed quick.

So you are saying they are like fca, west coast stars, 3d, etc. Didn't some turtles play for FCA last summer? Why us it bad to have an invite only team? Isn't that what happens when you are recruited by a college?

The 91 team is composed of fragments of several ex turtles, fl$, GC,express and numerous others who were standouts in their own rights; yet have not the benefit of the time to develop the chemistry required to be at the level that they are used to previously and expected to right out of the box. Given ample time; these players given their considerable skills would be a formidable opponent to any team.

Add in the usual conspiring lateral interests and obligations and this team is always climbing uphill trying to define itself with the given plethora of abilities across the board. Had they been together for a longer period of time; the results would mimic those of the esteemed TT's.

So...the DMV should just back off. The skills thes kids display individually are the reasons they have such a fine recruiting class. The college coaches see this and have awarded them as they have seen fit. The lack of team chemistry prevailing; has not left this team bereft of talent that accords them the accolades they have received.

Several Turtles didnt make the maverick all star game last Summer. Much tougher when its individual.

Also
Much tougher for them when club coaches were the team coaches at maverivk. Not too much nepotism in that selection process.

so let me get this straight, FCA, sweetlax, and WCS to name a few add and subtract new players each year, sometimes each tournament, and they're still able to competitive???
There goes your "if we were together longer" argument.
Good players=good team.
91 is more like the land of misfit toys. From this point on we will refer to JM as Santa

The green color of pure envy is just bleeding off of my screen from the DMV 😉

Keep crying😢 about our commits and Keep trying boys...and don't worry; your kids will be working for our 91 boys someday!

And THAT is the final word!😜

Maverick all-star game? Several of those kids who DID make the all star team there are STILL NOT COMMITTED ANYWHERE. Some even reclassify to 2018's. Every single turtle has had a very strong freshman year in their different High School teams, be assured that the turtles play just fine when not together. Just ask all those different D1 coaches whom committed them.

Not saying that at all. FCA doesn't flaunt "D1 Commits" that play ONE GAME with FCA. Nor does 3D or WCS. So learn the landscape before you come off like an idiot. No problem with an "invite only team", but Sweetlax does it different. They are all about pushing all these D1 committed players who DONT play for Sweetlax on a regular basis.

And yes many of the Turtles played in Denver for FCA.

Every single one? Are you sure about that?? pretty sure some rarely stepped on field!

Just so everyone knows, FCA does put together "tournament teams" but they also have local teams based out of Baltimore. FCA Blue and FCA White at each grade level beginning with 2017.
FCA Blue is the team with the commits and they do not flaunt them. In fact at most of these fall tournaments, they are focused on getting the non-commited kids their looks and not worried about winning.

Need a tissue? The scoreboard is the only honest arbiter in sports. After all the shouting about team chemistry, kids playing a fall sport, bad officiating, too much time in between games on a cold day, or other excuses the scoreboard says you were this many goals better or worse than the opponent today. Turtles don't seem to have an issue with that. My son's team - which has lost to Turtles a few times - has no issue with that.

Now the really bad news: the scoreboard follows these kids all through HS and college and beyond. Technically, life after college is a scoreboard too with jobs and salaries and the rest of it. Every 40 something year old LOSER I know sounds a lot like a Team 91 dad rationalizing mediocrity and celebrating the phony.

Thanks for playin, Biff

Flaunt them like the Turtles do posting them on website and blogs? Haha the hypocrisy is astounding!

It will be interesting to see who the survivors are in a few years. It seems like Adrenaline and 3d are the two that are major players in teams, events and other including video and recruiting bureaus. If you are running a major club but one of these two stops inviting you to tournaments, will that leverage these two have leverage over who gets weakened by them? Sure, Crabs and Dukes run good events but neither are beyond local or nearly as well capitalized and organized as Adrenaline and 3d.

3D has certainly become a monster of a company and it would seem they have a chance to knock everyone off of the map. Their growth across the nation is viral at this point.

2017 91 orange has very weak goalie play and that is the main reason such a talented team doesn't win games. Rather than take the best goalies at the tryouts JM keeps "his guys".

you are neglecting the attacks who don't pass, the middies who are weak as [lacrosse] who can't shoot, but swim into a crowd every time, and the dad keeps him on the field, and the defenders who fooled the recruiters a while back.

Hey, donkey

13 recruiters fooled so far. All top D1 programs and they all fooled every recruiter by being all stars at Maverick,philly showcase and winning the Brine nationals and going undefeated at JR, etc...fooled all of those showcase evaluators too!

Just face it donkey....your kid is not in the same caliber to be recuited by the likes of these schools as he doesn't have the ability to fool the head coaches of:

Yale
Penn x2
Cornell
Duke x2
Michigan
Notre dame
Georgetown
Boston university
Fairfield
Bucknell

Fooled everyone of these myopic D 1 coaches and their recruiting staffs and then will fool all of these schools into giving them degrees and then fool all of the top job recruiters into great spots in what ever field they choose. That's how you see it. Regular magicians they are!!

donkey (and I say that with all intended respect for those who have chosen to be mentally challenged)...The only fool here is you for making such a donkey statement and wasting bandwidth with your snide remarks.

(How's that big mouthful of jealousy tasting right about now?...why not wash it down with a tall glass of green envy tea, you [lacrosse]!...too bad you have to eat it everyday knowing that these kids fooled them all)

Yup...No hard work required by these kids nor years of dedication. They were just handed everything by being nice guys and saying ...,"oh, oh,....mr D1 coach, can I play for you??!?...pleeeeaaassse???"

Works every time, donkey.

Why can't you figure it out???.....oops, I forgot; your a donkey. You get a pass.

Not clear why placing such importance on club teams winning at this age. I care more about being put in the position to be recruited by the great programs 91 kids are commited to than winning a single meaningless fall game for kids who don't practice together as a team
Winning fall games only means something to the parents or to programs like outlaws. The 91 kids will have plenty of time celebrating their ncaa victories soon enough. Then it will mean something

Nobody was talking about fall games. 91 orange doesn't win any time of year.
