no these rankings dont matter but always fun to poke at the 91 parents who think their kids play for crush (as this genius wrote below - enough said) its not 3rd grade anymore the best talent is scattered across the top 3 teams
How about you gents leave the heavy analysis to the experts, as you folks are clearly in over your head here.
I detest to say it, I really do, but I think US Club Lax's ranking system is more accurate and definitely more transparent. I don't like that they're affiliated with 91 (they deny this of course). But you can see their methods, look at their RPI system and the data set they're using.
US club lax rankings aren’t accurate. If a team plays in the cheesiest tourney brackets and wins every game they are ranked higher. I would hope everyone is smart enough to filter through the nonsense. Some clubs who are not so good might receive a high ranking because they played in brackets below their abilities to help themselves look better on paper. You want to see where u rank play against the top teams in your area it’s not that hard play the top local dogs and see where u land . Playing hide and go seek in garbage brackets with big wins help convince the crazy parents their team is great.
Rankings don’t matter. The boys are in high school. The main focus now and for the next couple of years is to get recruited. The boys should be challenged every game against the best possible competition. The college coaches don’t care if your team is ranked 1st or 10th. They care about how good the individual player is. If your kid is on a middle of the pack team. Do everything you can to get him into good showcases. Have your club coach and HS coach advocate for him. Have videos of his best games. Not just him scoring. Off ball movement, feeds. Ground balls. Picks. All the little things matter. Right now and this coming summer they are not looking at this age group. But next summer the top kids will be getting looks. Get ready it goes fast. Good luck and enjoy the ride.
I thought the next couple of years was to play HS ball and try to win a championship with your classmates?
