And, Head Coach of the girl's team at McDonogh School. They've won the last 112 games in a row.

The lead singer of The Black Crowes.

How's my bloated YJ mommies doing? All fattened up from the long winter? Ready to jam yourself into your matching Under Armour outfit and drink some booze with your friends in the parking lot at the next tournament? Lol

Sounds like you miss the YJ Mommies. What's wrong did the ladies forget to invite you? By the way how would you know what anyone drinks , while you are driving home the YJ are still playing in the championship game.

You people are priceless... Can't we just start a Lax season with a hearty "Good Luck Girls" wish?

What's wrong with some cheer between friends? Sounds like you should try it

Would that actually reflect reality in any way?

Sounds like the makings of a reality show. They could have a LI edition and a MD edition.

That makes sense why the Crowes haven't done anything lately since Lax is a year round endeavor in the land of Bif anf Muffy. BTW, I definately enjoyed when the Crowes played with Jimmy Page and did songs from the Zeppelin catalogue.

Yes, our FAF mommies are ready and can't wait to drink you guys under the table. Go get'em girls!

I noticed the YJ store added 3x and 4x gear this year (in true YJ fashion just don't forget to add the large size surcharge).

Who is modeling it in the pictures?

Its so the out of shape dads can walk around with YJ gear while their daughter on the 8th team is playing and losing to some town team. But I have a YJ sweatshirt!

That's so the bloated mommy's from out east can hide their liquor bottles in their jackets

I thought it was because there is suck demand to wear the exact gear that CR wears and that only comes in 3x and 4x.

Haha! Boy, you must HATE that your daughters have to play for Elevate and Top Guns White! Too funny! Even the third YJ team will beat all but the top TG team and you all know it!

Where is the YJ store, I haven't seen it?

This is insane

You r really one class act. I'm sure your daughters are so proud to call you dad

I wish this was true. I wanted a sweatshirt but the sizes only go to xl. I don't need a triple but an XXL would be nice. I guess I will have to rock the hat.

I thought 3x and 4x meant how inflated the prices are for the apparel.

LOL, why don't you tell us how the game is going when you are watching your YJ 3rd team daughter playing. 2nd class YJ citizen..lol

you will never know because you will be playing yj 4.5&6 teams

YOUR OBVIOUSLY A MORON. YOU ARE SOOO STUPID TO EVEN PUT A QUOTE LIKE THAT WHEN YOU KNOW ITS NOT TRUE. IM SURE THE TG WHITE IS MUCH MORE RESPECTED THAT ANY GIVEN YJ TEAM AND YOUR NOT EVEN IN THE SAME CLASS AS ELEVATE. YOU MY FRIEND ARE CLASSLESS AND IN PRETTY SURE YOUR TEACHING YOUR DAUGHTER THE ROPES.

if you leave the hook in the water long enough someone always takes the bait.

What does that mean? You come on hear and wait for someone to respond to your false statements. You need help... Yj is a classless operation and well as about 95 percent of the families. This is very unfortunate. You feel good about putting down others. Like stated above, given the opportunity and position of where my daughter was at this time I would not choose Yj. Tg and Elevate are far superior organizations. Maybe not as many wins. But in the long run better people. Something in which you obviously know nothing about. Some of us are trying to build great kids and great character. Where you my friend are building enemies and monsters.

Well said and funny how no one came on to disagree with poster, its been a week. You really need to look at yourselves in the mirror people.

Everyone is just tired of the same old BS. No one really cares

Honest question as we are new to this. If you go to the Yellow Jacket alumni tab on their website, it says almost 65-75 kids have committed in each of the last three years. Does that mean almost every single kid is playing in the college listed or at the very end they just list the college the girls are attending. The list kind of implies that no kid chooses not to play in college and that everyone from the 3rd team is playing in college? Would love to know what percent of the 75 actually are on college teams and what percent got money. It is a very impressive number of girls

Go to the college listed. Go to the teams roster and see if they are playing .

It is mostly an unspoken topic, no will really come out and say how much (if any ) athletic money their girl received. The commitment list is just that, girls make a verbal commitment at some point during their high school career to a specific school and this gets posted. If said kid ever plays for that team, for the most part, no one really knows. They can “de-commit “ for various reasons , academic, injury, etc..
The high profile girl everyone knows is easy to track, just check the rosters of Florida, Notre Dame and Stony Brook for some recent YJ alumni.. the girls that go to smaller/less high profile lax colleges may not play past freshman year.. but who cares they used lax to get in to a school they may not have based on other factors.
Certainly no one (other than the parents) track all these kids

That's a very honest answer for an honest question.

I think at the very end they just ask every girl what college they have chosen to attend whether its to play lacrosse or not.

Many, actually most, of those girls are early commits. I would guess that, yes, they are playing college lacrosse. Like the other poster said, that doesn't mean they received any $$; however, their lacrosse skills very likely had much to do with their acceptance and commitment. This is, after all, Long Island. Few places in the country put as much emphasis on highly competitive lacrosse. And, like them or hate them, Yellow Jackets are probably the strongest overall program in the nation.

oh no not the Nation the Country by sure.

I posted the following in July of 2014 and I will follow up after each season. This is based on the 2013 YJ Class. I can't help you with your money question but this will help regarding the playing question. Hope it helps.

*****From July 2014 Post*****

I'm picking this thread to list the following because it is the 2014 Spring girls and there has been some discussion about age, playing time, etc.

The following is a breakdown of the Class of 2013 YJ commits and their playing time in their first year of playing college lacrosse. The list was 66 girls (from the website) of all YJ teams across all college divisions. (Disclaimer--I was a YJ parent and my daughter is not represented by this group. I read the YJ thread and things seemed nicer back in the day).

I broke it down as follows: (Strictly by games played)

1) "Impact" player played most games
2) "Played" is about 50% of games with statistical contribution
3) "Not Significant" played in a handful of games with little statistical contribution
4) "Did Not Play"--self explanatory but injury or transfer a possibility

45% of the 2013 commits were "Impact" players
11% of the 2013 commits "Played"
36% of the 2013 commits were "Not Significant"
8% "Did Not Play"

Just food for thought. If I can remember I'll try to follow this class to 2017.

Did you find any girls that were not on the lax roster of the school they committed to?

Thanks for this! I think almost half of the girls getting significant time in their first year is really good. It shows that all the time they put in in high school and travel was worth it, imo. Anyone can get playing time as a senior if they are committed enough.

I know of at least one who committed to play another sport yet is still listed on the YJ commit list.

So almost 50% are home rums. Of the bottom 50% I wonder how many of them hold onto their scholarships?
