So let me get this straight, Hofstra offers your daughter a good education and some money to play lacrosse and you dont play because you had a bee on your pinney?? give me a break


Good education ,very arguable(definitely not for the money)
Possible Shanon Smith may be less likely to recruit YJ players making it less likely for a YJ player to go to Hofstra
If the choice for SS to give money to a YJ player or TG player who do you think she goes with making YJ player less likely to go to Hofstra.
If YJ let you play for them for free ,would you?
If CR were coaching a college team would you be more or less likely to go.
I would rather believe that Shannon is not as petty as you parents. I have to believe she will take the best players that have interest in Hofstra no matter if that player played for Y.J. T.G. or Liberty, her ultimate goal is to win. I can't believe she would take a girl simply because of the jersey she wore for summer lax. With your theory any half decent player from West Babylon will make it to Hofstra even if there is a much stronger player from Longwood that is up against her for the same spot, it's just insane to think a D-1 coach will not take the best player period. My only thought is that if your a Y.J. player i would not spend the $1,000.00 and have Carol call Shannon, Just call yourself you'll be better off



$1000 for a phone call???? And why are you bashing Longwood?
Touchy , I wasn't bashing Longwood It was a random town name in my head to show that Shannon will pick the better player from any high school team as opposed to picking a player from her home town, So one could infer that she would pick the better player from the Yellow Jackets , Liberty , 91, etc. as opposed to picking a less talented T.G. player simply for the reason that she is a T.G. player. You must be new to this because everyone knows that Carol charges MOST girls a hefty fee for writing letters and making phone calls to coaches, I believe she calls it a recruiting service and I probably got the dollar amount a little on the cheap side. SORRY didn't mean to offend any of you truly thin skinned politicly correct helicopter moms.


Top Guns picked the MOST TALENTED players for BOTH black and purple teams this year.Outside the box thinking. YES, there were many, many cuts to players who were previously on the teams. But as a previous poster stated- no "A" or "B" team- instead 2 fierce teams that will raise the bar for the organization. Lots of hard feelings? Yes. If this strategy works and is made clear to all involved (players, parents,coaches) this WILL BE the place you want your daughters to play on. Hope the talent from other premier teams that were picked up works out. Rosters will be published soon and in some cases this forum will look tame to what will come on the bashing of those who made the switch (2017).(One girl posted on her fb page that she made a TG team but had no idea who was selected to coach, again-wait for the roster, lots of fibs?)Let's root for all the girls and encourage fair play and good sportsmanship. LET THEM PLAY!
