Summary of the conversation:

Top U13 vs. Top 2024: We know they aren't equal. The reality is we play in a 2024 world. The WSYL will crown the top U13 and many of the teams playing in it will be the top U13 teams. It will mean nothing before and after the WSYL because there aren't other tournaments that have an age cutoff and actually enforce it. Kudos for Long Island for having more true U13 teams and competing at a high level if not the highest in the 2024 lacrosse world. When all these kids get to High School it won't matter any longer.

BL is an all-star team. BL went to Denver 2 years ago with a combo of their 2022/2023 squads so they knew what needed to happen to take their next entrant further. They went out and found the kids to do that and brought them in so as to ensure these kids had some time to gel as a team. This is no different than what 75% of the better WSYL teams have done (albeit, the others probably just assembled them in the last 6 months or so). This team will do well in Denver and will continue to do well in the 2024 club scene assuming they continue to play as a team in it.

It's a good discussion and argument, shame it devolved into insults but that's BOC.
