I saw that Edge team play last weekend at Young Guns and they are very, very skilled. The beat the Crabs, then FCA and lost by a goal to a very good Madlax National team. There is some question as to the ages of the players on Edge (that seems to be the case with most teams these days) but they are very good nonetheless. Congratulations to the young man for his commitment.
STOP... that Edge 2019 UVA commit will likely be able to drive himself down to VA this September... he'll be just another normal 20 year old in 4 Septembers.
Let's keep rewarding the holdbacks who intentional game the system.
Starsia- I'm disappointed in you.
Didn't starsia write some BS article for inside lacrosse this year on how,he is against all this early recruiting?
In full agreement- nothing against the kid personally, but this should not be celebrated one bit- it just feeds the holdback machine and ruins it for the rest that choose to put academics and ethics first.
It only gets worse, currently at the number 1 Showcase out there for 2018's and 2017's. I put the number of holdbacks and now double holdbacks at better than 50% of the kids here for the 2018's. If your son is one of the best kids on his travel team and age legit, he will be up against highly skilled, gigantic, physically mature beasts 1 to 2 years older. It has reached a level of absurdity that is absolutely ridiculous.
