Are they too focused on getting the early maturing kids in 9th grade while other clubs developed talent to peak later? Are they just poorly organized? Bad coaching? Bad reputation? Seems like Tri-State has made strong resurgence and may be the new king of NJ along with BBL. Thoughts?

Keep poking the bear, maybe LE will start playing NJ teams.

No club in NJ is the King of NJ, including Leading Edge, and not sure where the Tri-State thing came from (maybe 2021's), ridiculous statement. However, I would agree that LE is not really the dominant high school program that it used to be. Several good 2023 teams in the state, those would be some good match-ups, BBL, Tri-State and Riot have played, and Bluestar, Patriot and South Shore have played, but there hasn't been any other cross-over. Leading Edge basically sticks with NLF teams and gets smacked around a lot, but they do play a really hard schedule.

Why is Tri-State a ridiculous statement? On the aggregate, they are ranked higher than LE and BBL for 2021 - 2023.
