This is coming from one parent who feels slighted because they didn't attend the Platinum Cup. Do you honestly think that college coaches were there recruiting 8th graders?? Let's be honest, no one there was getting recruited. They will be at similar recruiting tournaments in the fall which is when things start to count. They have 5 kids going to Jake Reed, just as many as orange. So if there kids are good they will get seen. If you are unhappy go to another organizations A team. We had a parent do that last year and now they want to come back. I'll bet the second 91 team will get more attention than one of those other teams. Instead of coming on here to start crap put your effort elsewhere. Like supporting the team you are on.

I am not sure about the redhead end stepchild comment. I'd like to see 91 white play express north.
It is insane, but this statement that "nobody was there recruiting 8th graders" is patently false. Personally saw plenty of d1 coaches you would all recognize watching 2019 Adrenaline games - notebooks out - taking notes, talking to 2019 coaches, etc. Very much engaged in the process. Hopkins already has like a dozen 2018s verbally committed - who do you think they are there watching?
Agree that 91 White is a good team with fine players - hope the program does as much for them as they do for Orange - at least the Jake Reed kids will get a chance to shine in a great venue with good college exposure. Good luck to all this summer.
