Happens in lax all the time. A lot can happen in 4 years. I've seen little fat 8th graders that are studs by their senior years. I've seen superstar 8th graders that are the same size and talent 4 years later. It's great to have a college interested in you in 8th or 9th grade year but comes down to good parenting and keeping things in perspective for the kid. College has nothing to lose with early verbal offers and will continue to do so until NCAA steps in but signing day senior year is when the rubber meets the road.

I agree with this post. the early verbal is only that a verbal promise. I can see if Maryland is your dream school and you are are Jr in high school and you have not verbaled to Maryland you think "I can never go to Maryland" But the truth is those 14 kids on the verbal list for the 2017 class will not be the 14 kids signing with Maryland on NLI signing day. And if you have 5 other schools blowing up your phone your SR year I am sure Maryland will answer the phone if you call and tell them they are your dream school.

and a bunch end up leaving too. very intense program.

So much for the fall off theory at Crabs, killing it up in Long Island.

How did they do against Leading Edge and Crush?

Hint...Ryan was spotted scouting the 2018 and 2019 games later in the day.

Lost to Leading Edge and to Crush in semi's. Great games, Leading Edge looked really good, and the Crush game in semi's was 6-8. Great day of lax, probably get to see some rematches next week at big4 in philly.

I would hope so since they are a year older.

Than your B team, I suppose, but nobody in the upper brackets would cheapen themselves with that argument. Stay in your bracket, please.

Anyone know anything about the Elite 120 event being held in Baltimore today?

Money grab.

Was down there earlier this morning, lots of coaches. Most of the top clubs sent several players. Games start later this morning. UA promotional event, so kids are getting a nice experience touring facility and supposed to get most D1 program representation..

Money grab.

Waste of time/money

Waste of time/money

It's free you idiot, promoted and funded by Under Armour and NLF. Every D1 school represented. Top several kids from the top 10 programs Nationally. Sounds like it will really suck. Invitation only.

I'm sure there were some great players there but I'm quite certain that it was not the top kids in the country. It was another event orchestrated for the benefit of a few adults and a few dozen kids.

The list was personally edited by RM which means top 120 to only him and the attendees. NLF promotional event set up by RM using UA facilities.

Are there any coaches on the 2020 sidelines at CrabFeast?

Very few, it is clear the coaches are not worried about 2020 at this point. Kind of weird after how much attention they got last summer at this very same tournament.

Not sure what field you were at but at Cedar lane there were numerous D1 coaches watching 2019 & 2020s play

What happened to Crabs 2020. They are pretty bad now. Definitely not the top tier team they use to be.

Looney's lost to FCA 10-8

Looney's didn't have their FOGO or Goalie and that was the difference in the game.
