And that’s the problem with LI lacrosse. Parents like you who think your son won’t play in college unless you play for 91 or express. Chan is too involved $$ with a certain north shore town to help anyone else with recruitment. There’s a long list of favors that have to repaid regardless of how good your son is. 91 is a little better, not much. Big 3? I guess you mean igloo? not much of a history with recruiting.
True... my older son plays D1 and played outlaws for 4 years.. they were not the top club on LI but he got recruited because he was good and when you are good they find you anywhere. That is a fact!
Lets look at the past couple years of D1 accolades for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team All Americans from LI. What clubs did they play for? I bet a few didn't even play club at all, or stop after 9th grade. Any data would be appreciated
Last Year All Americans D1 LI, taking into consideration that most LI boys are 1-2 years younger than the average college player. These are the clubs they played for: Berge: Jesters Reh: Team LI Arceri: Sweetlax Tigh: Express Conocanon: Unknown
Looks like there is no one team that stands out in producing the best college players on LI. It most definitely is not team 91
Here is few you might know
Guterding - Express (all time ncaa goals leader) Molloy - Express (tewaaraton winner) Schrieber- Express (MLL MVP and Team USA) Earhart- Express (Team USA mvp)
I would make the argument that these would still just as successful without Express. Chan recruites very talented players. Sure coaching is part of it but the hard work amd talent is all the player. Too bad Chan only care to coach the 15-20 starts of the 40+ players on his team.
True, and I would be more interested in players in college now. So how is excelling from LI now? The list from last year is interesting if we go down to Honorable mentions, we see a few more LI boys named such as O,Keefe (91), Kenny Massa (Outlaws), Danny Bucaro (WM), Chris Gray(Express) There is no one club that is producing all the college stars
