The Hawks 2022 look a high school Jv team with all the reclass kids. They do have great Skills and Lacrosse IQ. They will tuff to beat.
All elite teams look like JV teams. In order to be an elite team, you need to recruit the kids that reclassed. I don't think there is an elite team out there with more than half the starting line-up born after 9/1/2003. Sad - but that's the way lacrosse is today.
That statement is patently false. My son's elite team is comprised primarily of public school boys and the starting lineup does not include a single holdback. The team does not recruit hold backs, they simply develop the kids to play at a high level regardless of their age. I don't begrudge the teams that are stocked with older kids, but it's moronic to suggest that they are a required to be successful in this sport.
I call bull on this one. No team in the HOCO elite division starts no holdbacks. Except maybe Next Level who didn’t win a game and didn’t belong in the division and I’m sure even they had holdbacks.
