lol. Moronic. If you are a freshman and contributing on varsity great for you and that is a great indicator.. but plenty of kids that become great prospects later develop differently. There are many examples of guys at big time HS programs that are still on JV as Sophs. Pat Spencer would be the poster child of many. And lastly.. those late bloomers that do eventually make it albeit late are not concerned about what is said on this board. They are busy grinding getting better because they love lacrosse and they are tuning this nonsense out. 1 guy? This ia so inspirational , maybe your JV standout could follow in Spencer’s footsteps. Be warned, however, JV at Boys Latin is worlds away from a JV program in bumf*ck Scruffolk County. Good luck.[/quote You missed some key words. I said 1 poster child of MANY. I also said BIG TIME HS programs. If you are at a public or generally weaker program… yes you should probably be on varsity as a frosh. But a top 30 national HS is indeed very different.

your son is being recruited by all these schools and you still think he’ll ride bench for 3yrs at Lasalle?? your kid aint as good as you think. LaSalle doesn't recruit. They don't need to, they have 1200 boys and a quality lacrosse program every year which does not court 7th graders. This "dad" is full if it. 100% LaSalle recruits. My son had a full convo with RF about going to LaSalle and where he saw him fit. And I know of at least two others that had the same conversation with them. They also have clinics - those arent just for fundraising.

Spalding is the best real hs team in the miaa and possibly nation. Not considering the prep:athletic "schools" that accept hs grads.
McD will earn it if they win it. McD has some of oldest layers in league , I think more than BL , which is at the top too. So many prep/hs grad schools arent any older than the MIAA college freshman players.

Re: MD Girls 2028

Anyone have any insight regarding the summer invite only events (BIC, JO, UA 150)? Specifically if they are “full” or when they typically become full. I see UA continues to say registration deadline with a new date. Are they really still taking girls that apply for the first time now? Conversely if someone applied and didn’t make the “wave” soon after do they still have a chance? Same for JO and BIC. Any insight would be appreciated. Honestly none of these camps really matter and only increase chances for injury after a long spring and summer season. Let your daughter rest and enjoy being 15, it won't impact her recruiting at all especially if she plays for a big time club with good recruiting coordinator I will say I don't think most players/parents have this opinion as the majority of the girls that participate in these events are from big time clubs with a good history of recruiting. I think at this point BIC and JO are pretty much done. I am not sure if this is typical of UA 150 to keep putting out wave after wave or if they are struggling to fill the spots with good players. A significant factor for many girls from top clubs is FOMO rather than any actual benefit of being noticed, which is unlikely outside of a recruiting years. You do get the chance to play with other good players, but often it's good players playing bad lacrosse in an effort to stand out. Obviously, this is not the case for ALL, but it certainly is for some. And by the way, no judgement, of course parents want their child to be included and do not want to see the pain it causes for them NOT to be invited come June when all of their teammates and friends are posting themselves at the event all over social media. It's a life lesson moment, but @ChillLaxin just the same. Newest Fomo is the Nilly thing. The Draft. Really!!!!!!! Saw a edit on IG today that said "First Round Draft Pick". I like LM, but this feels like a scam. They will keep coming out with this @ChillLaxin until parents and players say enough. I have 3 olders girls who went through the process and opted out of all of these events and went to very good D1 programs. The coaches laugh all the way to the bank at the parents behind the scenes who pay for these events but looks good on the gram!

Re: Boys 2031 - 6th grade (new) 2024-25 season

Best Teams in 2031 (my personal opinion )
Tier 1 Group:
1) MadLax - #21 attack is the best 2031 player in the class (from what I have seen). They are good everywhere and dominate faceoffs.
2) NextLevel - actually have not seen them but hear from all coaches they are pretty outstanding group
3) Rebels - very well coached. Very talented.
4) Igloo - also well coached & very talented (feel like they have overall better talent than Rebels Stealth, just was more impressed by Rebels in fall)
Tier 2 Group:
5) 91 CO Outlaws - this team is worth a watch if you have not seen them. Extremely talented attack and defense.
6)SweetLax FL - full of top notch players but wasn't impressed by their coaching AT ALL. College kids letting their top dogs dodge & shoot every time.
7)Towermen - saw them play at The Holiday Bowl & came away impressed by their talent/shooters. Coaches were ripping their kids during warm up.
8)Dukes Elite - have a pretty amazing lefty attackmen. Great goalie. Think I saw them on an off weekend.
Tier 3 (missing a ton of teams here):
2Way, Chucks (have never been impressed by them other than goalie), Crabs, Ann. Hawks (but heard theyre breaking up), SL Upstate (best goalie in the class). From the west coast - Alcatraz Outlaws, Mad Dog West, Colorado Kings all solid teams too.
2031 is very, very competitive group and I can see any of the top 8 teams beating each other. 1. NL has terrific ball movement. Also, they have size and athleticism on defense. Well-coached team that has earned its current ranking. 2/3. Igloo/Rebels -- giving the slight edge to Igloo. 4. ML is still a solid team, although I hear rumblings about departures. Not key pieces. Yet. 5. Sweetlax FL has size and athleticism. Additionally, those boys are sharp and I've watched the players adjust tactics on the fly in response to the opposition without the coach saying a word. I don't know what goes into the culture there, but they've got a good thing going for the 2031 class. 6/7 Towermen and Chucks are solid teams. 8. Dukes Mambas are strong at the back and front and incredibly weak in the middle. Their clearing game verges on atrocious against weaker competition. 9. CO Outlaws are an interesting team with good speed and athleticism. However, they are unlike Sweetlax FL because they don't play above their talent. Have seen a good, but unremarkable player, torch them. Other notes; Laxachusetts Gold has been disappointing; last summer, they looked much better when they were Black. Crabs are still fast and Annapolis Hawks seem to have lost their punch on offense. 91 LI has a few kids who can play but have not impressed.

LI vs Everybody! None of the Maryland team will be able to hang with us this year. Lol, look everyone, a B bracket bravado YJ parent! Wake us up when you actually play 91 Roar. Team name should be the ducks 🦆 So it happened.[/quote] LOL, congrats I guess, but since when did indoor games count for the rankings? I see you guys rushed to add the game on USCL for rankings purposes, but when do you guys play them for real? Full strength, full field, normal draws after goals? You guys duck the NGLL, so I guess it will have to be this summer when you guys make your typical quarterfinal appearance at whatever tournament after dominating #37, #112, and #51 in the lowest bracket possible before bowing out. M&D should run over to USCL and get their indoor national championship games added and their games against varsity HS teams added too. So weak.

Any changes to the standings for 2025?
Going to be interesting to see teams like Garrison and GCS, with no JV last year, how that translates.
Can Spalding continue to be in the top tier with their top scorer/defender gone? St Mary's was darkhorse, didn't lose much, are they prime to make a run?
Where do JCS and BM fall this year? Still playoff teams?
Any non playoff team prepared to break through?

Hey All. I could use one more girl to fill out my High School Varsity team. We have enough players but only have one sub.
Players should have really strong skills and be on a top AA team.
The team has girls from top teams in Maryland, NY, PA & NJ. It also includes a couple D1 Commits. Huh? BOTC removed my contact info from the post so please disregarded. We filled the roster.
