So let’s SPELL this OUT for you and everyone else for the 50th time-Inside Lacrosse is NOT the Coach Thorne or CR. BOTC is NOT coach Thorne or CR. The Team USA combine is NOT c
Coach Thorne or CR yet each one of these ranked or chose basically the Same girls that are in the team. Are there about 5 that could have gone either way, sure. That is where you had better have kicked butt at the tryout.
Last NEWS FLASH....it is going to be basically the same girls at EVERY major event your daughter tries out for. They are the competition going in. We know it. The sooner you do too the sooner you will have less anger.

These arguments have been gong on since the first year of UA All-American Senior Game and been a part of the underclass games since the beginning as well. Complain all you want but when you look back at the players that have participated in the underclass games most went on to the best college programs and had / are having good college careers (at the best programs). When you look at the players selected to the Senior Under Armour All-American Team just about all of the players go on to the top college programs and they have great careers. There are not 100 players on Long Island that are all interchangeable. there is a small group that are better than the rest. Since they combine the grades for the team there are probably 10 - 15 players at each grade that would make the team if there was a team for each grade. Thee will always be some politics and bias but over the years UA has done a pretty good job.

Very true. However I believe paying Corrigan $175 for 3 20 minute games he should be able to provide evaluators. Club coaches will always give preferential treatment to their own players.
