Ok yes, other goalies in the country are very good as well and are going to top schools but UNC, Hopkins and Rutgers are still amazing turn outs and the fact that your are trying to argue this shows that you simply may be jealous.
No one cares that a goalie went to a top school but the goalies and their parents.
it's a great event. The girls that attend have nothing but great things to say. They play with their future teammates and rivals. They get cool merch. 9 of the top10 2024s that were invited chose to go, the only that didn't go was due to injury. I know alot of top girls who choose to skip American select or UA events but flock to IL. These players obviously have respect for IL. It's always the parents that are salty. speaks volume. They charge money okay so what? what event doesn't? It's funny how these parents think charging money is some inmoral act . They are a business.

Not true. My daughter was invited and didn't go. I know of many YJ24 top team players who were invited and chose not to go.
I Agree, mine too. She had a soccer game Saturday night and didn't feel like getting up early, riding in the car for 4 hours playing a few hours of LAX and then turning around to come home. Would I have loved her to do it - yes but I have learned to pick my battles. I'm sure it was a great event and had lots of fantastic players. Kudos to those who were able to attend. It looks like 81 of the 1st 400 D1 commits on the Lax Numbers board were rostered for the event and there were only 6 teams totaling ~112 players . Plenty of the top players that have already passed the finish line were likely not compelled to flock to ILX for many reasons including the $$. As I mentioned, some girls are still in other fall sports. Some may not have wanted to travel for a 6 hour event. Some may not have picked up a stick since or kept in shape since July and might not have felt comfortable. The list goes on. I am not sure why people on here are trying to shame those for not playing or getting invited. Judging from the overall range of players, I am guessing they had to invite at least 400 girls to get the 100 that were able to attend on 5 weeks notice.
