BackOfTheCage Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM Announce your commitment to play college ball here!!

A place for lacrosse players and their families to announce where they commit to play lacrosse in college!

After spending $35000 on 8 years of lax, we are proud to announce our daughter has committed to Nassau Community College. She was offered a $40 credit in the bookstore and a free NCC sweatshirt as her package. Our lax investment really paid off.

This is why people outside of Long Island think we are assholes. We can't even support our own. Every other region uses social media to promote their succes on Twitter, Facebook, and websites. We can't even do this. That's why we are divided and losing the hold we had on lacrosse for so many years. Other areas work to promote success of their players and all we do is knock each other. We are divided by our egos and inability to be happy for other people.

Not true- the reason LI sucks compared to what it was is that there's only one powerhouse team and everyone plays into it... including the teams that were powerhouses at some point... they seam to have willingly folded up the idea of being good vs just collecting money adding more and more teams, etc.

There are 4-5 MD powerhouses, and 1 one on LI. The success of these teams has nothing to do with social media...

You are so wrong. We have plenty of talent yet all we do is try and belittle others success. We do not have a united front or spokesman. Long Island has a lot of strong teams and they are for different programs. To say one program has all the best teams is ludicrous. It's also cyclical certain programs have strength at different times. Come on look at the Philly area and how they promote their players. We can't even have people say where they are committed without the BS that follows.

Name on grade from 2022 and up where any club on LI other than YJ has the strongest team. With the exception of TG 2020 two years ago, name one team on the island that has been better than YJ in last 4 years.

All the non-YJ club parents from LI do is talk. You don't challenge yourselves and play in top tournaments against the good MD teams. Win or Lose, I give YJ credit for playing the schedule they do. If I was a LI parent, I'd rather my daughter lose a game to M&D, Skywalkers, etc, then spend the weekend playing other mediocre LI teams.

the only problem with that thought process is if your kids not top half of the roster she's not playing in those games

Wow. People, this was intended to be a thread to post commitments to college and look what it has become. Either we get a few posts about commits to college on here or thread will be deleted.

Maybe the parents or kids can send you their commitments and you can post them? Also you have the power to block any negative comments, yes? Thats the only way it works, otherwise all the FLIDS will surely ruin it. I think its a great idea, kids should be recognized for what is truly a great accomplishment without all the jealousy and negativity.

Great point and post. If anyone would like me to announce their kids commitment you may private message me and i will post it.

You make a good point, then compromise it by making a reference about posters from a certain region as if you know where all the posters live. Yes, I do know what FLID stands for. You are just as bad as them.

I truly believe that your intentions are noble regarding a commitment thread.

With all due respect, there is NO WAY I would voluntarily identify my MINOR son on this forum for any reason, including a commitment announcement. The people who need to know already know who he is and where he is going to play. Others have found out organically through the grapevine. There are too many trolls on here. JMHO.

Sorry if I offended your delicate sensibilities. Day in and day out on this forum people bash each other and ridicule their kids and youre concerned about the use of the word FLID? I would venture a guess that 95 percent or better of the people that post on here are from LI. So if youre from LI and you come to this forum to spew nonsense and jealousy, yes you are indeed a FLID. A kid committing to a college to play this great game at the highest level should be celebrated, and this should be a place where people should feel free to post their kids commitment proudly without having to worry about all the Dbag comments that are sure to follow.
