Why is that such a surprise, they are a talented team, especially with the addition of the 2023s
They are much improved. Not a very good team previously. Who’s new? Just the 23 reclasses?
The goalie and defender they outright poached from BBL for the sole reason of making BBL a little weaker which worked. They had no reason to leave and would have got recruited at the same level at BBL. Outright poaching is disgraceful. They added a few other kids too. They also have like 6 or 7 reclass kids getting a lot of playing time. Most of the other 2024 clubs in NJ have none, I actually don't know of any on like the next 7 top clubs.
Recruiting is much more than entering a good tournament and a coach watching your game. There has to be a real reason that BBL kids tend to leave every year. Most of their 2024 team stuck together but they’ve been struggling as of late.
Unfortunately, club lacrosse is basically just that. Entering good tournaments and coaches watching your game. There are some validation done by the club coaches but all of the reputable clubs do the same thing. Having just gone through it, I can say it is way less important which club you play for than you think.
