My daughter plays for a rival club to both Y.J and T.G so I truly have no dog in this fight , Just an unbiassed opinion. I truly believe that shannon, unlike Carol, just wants girls to succeed in life and lacrosse, so I think shannon will not have a problem referring a girl, or allowing one of her coaches to refer a girl to a team within conference if that is where that girl truly wants to play, Carol on the other hand is a bitter old woman that harbors ill will for any one that dare defies her.If Shannon wants a particular player from any club, she can give the best offer she can, she does not need to deal with Carol Rose in any manner unless that player goes to North Port, and even with that, only on a limited basis. The only people that stand to get hurt are North Port players seeking an opportunity to play at Hofstra, and relies on Carol for help. As far as your ill informed statement about Carol doing so much for Shannon, I believe that Shannon's father took her and a group of girls all over the east coast to 7 v 7 fall ball events, and never used Carols over priced recruiting service, that coupled with being the best High school player for years is what got Shannon to N.U.. Carol had nothing to do with it and was mad at Bill for not ponying up the money for her help. If anything Shannon did Carol a favor by playing for her. I mean listen to you bitter Y.J's always saying how Shannon was A Yellow Jacket and how she betrayed you leader. Truth be told, If shannon would have played for Liberty, the only other all girls club at the time, and then went on to N.U. and accomplished the same achievements, Liberty would be the dominate club on Long Island, so Carol should thank Shannon instead of complaining about her.
The ill will between the two has nothing to do with the recruiting services- you are obviously misinformed. Since you state that you are not with either club maybe you should get correct info before you post. It had to do with how Top Gun started and that is all I will say. Get the correct info and you may understand. She did betray coach rose. Smith would have become the player she is no matter who she played for and everyone on yj knows this.
Not to perpetuate an argument but you challenged the previous poster to get their facts right and sorry but you are mis informed as well. TG didn't really actively recruit YJs at its inception. If anyone should be royally pissed its the SC All Stars whose entire teams made the switch. With that said even if they did recruit some kids I am sure that is not unethical or wrong for that matter. How is a club supposed to start? Do the current clubs own the rights to their members or are they free to join another if they choose? Being spiteful and downright nasty and unethical should not have been the response from Carol. SC All Stars did not behave that way.
She's mad because if someone can come along and within a couple years start and build their own competitive club, it severely reduces the value of the club she is trying to sell. We have all heard the price tag in the millions, she couldn't get it a couple years ago and the price seem even more silly now. [lacrosse] if a 19 yr old kid can go out and start up a profitable clun instantly, who would bother to buy yjs?
it's all about cash flow - 800 kids that spend an average of $2,000 is $1.6 mill per year in gross cash flow - that's why cr is bitter about being exposed
