I would go with "high level academic schools who play D1 lacrosse." Recent SW White teams have girls committed to Army West Point, Dartmouth, William and Mary in addition to some excellent D3 schools including National Champion Gettysburg. Perhaps, some of these girls have different expectations when it comes to their college lacrosse careers and completely satisfied not committing to a "high level D1 lacrosse team."
I totally agree, but that wasn't the point. The point was that the top club B teams are not as competitive as they once were due to the abundance of other options. I doubt that you want to argue that SW 2019 White can compete with the top clubs. Not long ago, SW White, M&D Red, YJ Gold, Heros White, etc could all compete and in many cases beat other very good teams. This just isn't the case anymore.
This is a very correct statement. SW White against a top 2019 team (pick any one of them ... YJ, M&D, Heros, Mass Elite, Capital, SW Blue etc.) would not even be a game. I'm talking name your score type of game. Is what it is. 2nd teams have become depleted in talent as more clubs have opened shop. Forget about 3rd teams.
Listen, the original post stated that "B" level teams were not what they used to be and then went on to name SW and M&D specifically. This is not true. Yes, there are "B" level teams that are struggling due to more clubs opening shop. Look at MD United, Integrity, Bay Area, and who knows how many of your LI teams that have had "B" teams fold or become defunct, Top Guns, Legacy, Elevate, etc.
While this is a 2021 post, it was the original poster that brought this up. SW, Hero's, and LI YJ have strong "B" teams that consistently beat top level talent. No, not M&D Black, Heros Green, TG Black, Mass Elite, Capital (These are the top teams in the country) etc., but they definitely beat some top A level contending teams. When you bring up information that is not "grounded in evidence", then don't bring it up. If you need scores, results, etc. hit me up. You have no clue what you are talking about.
Sure. Give us scores of SW White beating "top A level contending teams". You just said (and are correct) that they can't beat the top A level contending teams that you named so I'm a bit confused. Because those are the top A level contending teams, see what I mean?
