Re: Boys 2026 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region

Spring Break Thaw schedule now up on the Machine. Who will be the winners of the day based upon the schedule? Not a single game between Crabs/Hawks/Madlax? Total joke. I guess we will have to wait till HoCo. Madlax hasn’t played top elite HoCo teams since Spring of 2019. Hawks and Crabs will both beat them soundly! Looks like Hawks are ducking but they do play Prime Time who entered in the WSYL Hawks is completely afraid to play Crabs; they absolutely saw how much bigger and faster crabs has become and will duck them at every chance they get. You forgot older. Now that is the pot calling the kettle black.

Dont bet on it this year...an Upstate team will win it. I certainly can see Sweetlax beating Express. Who has Express beat already this winter and scores? Stop living in the past. Express has won both games against Sweetlax the past 2 times but they were both extremely close and could have easily swung the other way. Both very good teams. I don't know how the brackets work but if they don't have to face each other prior to the finals then that's who I see being in it. Do all the Sweetlax players from the summer meet the age requirement? That is a legitimate question. I am just wondering if the same team will be at WS. LI Express kids are all on age I believe. Should be a good match up if the same teams show up from Fall. LI Express has so many kids on age that they’re sending 2 teams. Fact. Every single kid on their 2026 teams are on age.

Maybe it all depends on the year, the region, and who the evaluators are? No, at least not on Long Island it doesn't. The same comments on here every year... "The tryout was a joke, the best girls didn't make it, some real head scratchers, they will disappear in college, many deserving girls didn't make it, all political, if your not a YJ good luck, etc...) Some parents just can't take it when others are considered better players than their daughter. Maybe it all depends on the year, the region, and who the evaluators are?

Some parents just can't take it when others are considered better players than their daughter. Some time on my hands so I did a little research... my apologies if I miss by a number here and there... : ) 2014 and 2015 Under Armour Underclass Teams from Long Island: - Total of 39 players (some played more than 1 year). - 20 College Programs Represented. 13 -15 would be considered Top 20 Programs. - 13 Division I All-Americans (so far, many still playing) - at least 21 All-Conference (so far) - at least 17 Team Captains (so far) - 35 Starters / Play every game. - a few injured players I think Two career ending Injuries. - 1 or 2 Reserve Players. Where did the players go to college? 5 - Stony Brook 4 - North Carolina 4 - Princeton 3 - Florida 3 - Syracuse 3 - Notre Dame 2 - Penn 2 - Penn State 2 - USC 2 - Georgetown 1 - BC, Northwestern, UVA, Maryland, Richmond, Duke, Columbia, Yale, Lehigh. The bottom line is that the complaints about the tryouts come every single year. The reality is that over the years Under Armour has done an excellent job with the selection process. The vast majority of the players selected go on to prove themselves at many of the Top College Programs. At least for these two years it looks like all but two players are excelling or excelled (graduated) at many of the most competitive programs. Kind of goes against the narrative that "UA is a joke and it's the friends and family network". The biggest surprise that also "busts" a narrative is how many players went to Stony Brook. I read on this site constantly how JS does more with less than anyone and how he brings in no-name recruits etc... Well SBU brought in the most of any program... If they made the Under Armour Underclass they were most certainly known players. and these 2015 and 2014 were also dads of the players...not being a donk just really interested in how the UA has changed....and what went wrong? how can you let a parent be an evaluator? Seriously? that i just need to understand. It is a toal conflict of interest.. nevermind the coaches of the teams? idk To the best of my knowledge there were no parent coaches. Pretty sure no YJ involvement in the 2015 selection or coaching and pretty sure more than half the team was YJ's. There should be no Parent Coaches for this type of tryout.

You trolls are amazing .Sorry but I would not want my kid playing with or against North. Her antics are embarrassing and its always all about her so I would not want my kid playing on the same team , that said she is very good but seems overly hyped up so I would not want my kid to play against her. There are a number of players I would take over her if you want to win big games which she has never done , players that make those around them better but can do it on their own when needed. The horses comments are ridiculous as it just a saying and the SBU ,UNC game was closer than the score but UNC clearly outplayed them .To the keyboard tough guy who thinks he knows who people are why be such a flaccid coward and speak to these people face to face as you seem to think you know who they are. I forgot you are too much of a flaccid coward to actually do that .

I think that there is truth on both sides of the debate - yes, the program has a culture of permitting low rent sideline behavior on all its teams, but in fairness, the 2026 team has a couple of Dads who are exceptional in this regard. 100% true. It is now the identity of the club. Loud obnoxious trash Stop talking to yourself. I was referring to your wife.

SPSG must always underachieve because every year the parents think they have the best team. No one has thought that until the last 2 years and really not until this year as McD still had a ton of great players last year. If anything SPSG overachieved making the finals 2 years ago and taking McD to double OT twice.

Saint Paul’s is not looking great this year, but Towson just doesn’t have the talent yet Yet? Are they planning an out of state recruiting drive? Remote learning with promise of eventually getting back into the trailers is a big draw for the talent.  Towson is only using "on age" kids that grew up within a couple miles of the school - the way high school sports should be played.

Re: Boys 2027 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region

Anybody have any info on what the HoCo 2027 divisions will look like? Based on where teams played in 2019 Spring season, head-to-head wins in the Fall 2020 tournaments, and USCL Fall 2020 rankings this is one possibility. Note that * = programs are not confirmed with 2027 team. Additional criteria was to make even number teams in each division, and of course applying the WAG principle. 2027 Elite#3 Madlax Capital - H2H wins vs Next Level Blue, Team MD White, 91 MD, Crabs #5 Next Level Blue - H2H wins vs Hawks, True Annapolis Green, Kooper's, Mesa MD, Crabs #6 Annapolis Hawks - H2H wins vs Bethesda Blue, Crabs, Sidewinders #15 Team Maryland White - H2H wins vs Mesa MD, Bethesda Blue, True Annapolis Green, FCA, 91 MD #37 FCA #34 Team 91 MD #48 True Annapolis Green - H2H wins vs Bethesda Blue, Mesa MD, Kooper's 2027 AAA#36 Crabs #42 Bethesda Blue - H2H win vs Mesa MD #28 Zingos Black #31 Sidewinders Black - H2H win vs Crabs #39 Cavalier - H2H win vs Mesa MD #43 Mesa MD - H2H win vs Bethesda Blue, Kooper's #59 VLC - H2H win vs MDX-R #81 Kooper's2027 AA* HLC PLC Fallston Cannons Select Kelly Post True Baltimore Madlax- DMV #51 Team Maryland Red 2027 A*Top Caliber Bethesda Orange Breakers HoCo Black True Annapolis White *Coppermine Looney's *Gator Lacrosse Club 2027BEast Side Zingos Blue Baltimore Swarm Rockfish Purple *USS Cruisers *AYLC *LTRC *MDX-R[/u][u][/u][u][u][/u] No chance Crabs slide down. Team 91 hasn't won a game in Hoco in 2, maybe 3, years. BLC blue and orange might request to go another division down. They are really struggling. Madlax DMV will slide lower Crabs will not be in Elite. They did not have a great summer and were 0-fer in the fall, including losses to Sidewinders and Richmond Hawks. 91 has beat (in some cases handily) or tied everyone they've played in AAA since the summer. BLC teams and Madlax DMV could move down. Lower divisions are a WAG at this point without knowing which programs are actually fielding teams at this grad year. Hearing that some programs may be opting out of a spring season. Based on HCRP Online Registration (which closed on 15 Feb) here's how many team registered for each division. Likely to be movement since its a 7 game regular season and HoCo likes for teams to have one game vs all others in division, so that would mean 8 team divisions. Given there are 39 teams registered, one division would have 7 teams. 2027 Elite - 11 2027 AAA - 5 2027 AA - 7 2027 A - 5 2027 B - 11 91 only played one year of Hoco which was two years ago since everyone missed last year. They did not play in the fall hoco. Hawks has had some roster changes and I don't know how they did in tournaments so will be interesting to see their play.

Any truth to the rumor that Leading Edge is falling apart? Is it a financial thing or just that kids are going elsewhere? Was thinking about having my 6th grader check them out this summer but don't want to have it blow up in our face. Are going the way of Mad Dog? Since your son is only in 6th grade, I would give it some time and see how things play out. Not much value in going to LE before high school anyway, the youth teams are not competitive. There are many other clubs that are much better at developing players.

Nice thing about men’s college lacrosse is that most of the D1 options are good to great academic schools. Of course there are some not so good too. Also there are some great D3 academic options. In short D1, D2 and D3 all offer a chance for kids to get into a much better academic school than they would have without lacrosse. Championships are nice but I would hope a kid picks a great academic school that is a great fit over anything else. A very small percentage, under 1%, of players will benefit from any type of lacrosse recruitment to college. Of those that do, the reward is an even smaller percentage for tuition reimbursed. You're NOT going to any college without excellent grades and well rounded extra curriculars. Lacrosse is rarely a part of that equation. The college coaches will let you know right away where you rank and it wont be at some freshman or sophomore money grab showcase. Don't be fooled into thinking your investment in youth lacrosse will be rewarded with a scholarship. Pay and play because your kid wants to not you. Its their journey. Which D2 school offers an amazing academic experience? Rollins - Bentley - LeMoyne
