For IDX, some kids will have conflicts due to field hockey or fall events, some will not want to go since they’ve already committed.
It should be a good event and the 2024’s were invited based on scouting by IL—if players decided not to attend it’s on them.
Unlike UA150, the 2024’s have been seen by IL Women and it isn’t from back door dealing with the group running UA150. The selection for that event is a joke.
I have more faith in IL putting on an event than Robinson Sports choosing for UA150.
IL was not at one event this summer at the top teams games. Their top 10 list is pretty suspect too. Not hating on the kids but it isn’t that accurate
Because you know everyone who works for IL and what they look like right? and if they aren't visible with giant flashing arrows pointing at themselves then that must mean they aren't there? will they be at every event? no, but i can tell you from first hand knowledge that they have people out. How is their top 10 list suspect? what brings you to this conclusion? you know more lacrosse than they do? many posters in this thread have discussed how SUCCESSFUL their rankings actually have been contrary to uninformed opinions coming from people like you
I agree with the first poster. Club directors pumping up certain kids. Not saying to ten are not good players, but I really think the class in general does not have 10 players that are any different than the top 50 players. They are all interchangeable. Just look at the USA U16 team. The supposed top 10 girls there did not look any better than the rest of the girls on that team.
2024 yes. 2025 no. There's six girls going from my daughter's team and two probably three of them shouldn't. IT's not a top 5 team where everyone on the team is good. They got in from recs from the club owner/director. Two of them are defenders and they are really bad, not even ok.
