Terps playing again this weekend

So where does FCA Blue rank? Where are they from?

i'm ready to move TB ahead of terps by a hair but not at the turtles level until they learn to play smarter

Unfortunately everyone stays the same. If you remember when the list first came out you need to beat a team on the list to move up. Some long Island teams are playing in the same tournament but not against each other. This list is accurate from the most resent head to head meeting of each team. Are there any tournaments left were Long Island teams are going head to head on this list? Since the summer season is nearing an end, how about some team challenging another team. No one on this list is going to back down from a challenge? Winner moves up, loser moves down. This would be fun. We know it does not really mean anything but still would be fun.

i saw a lot of games and turtles, crabs, wc and duke are probably all the top of the top tier

second tier (but can certainly play with the top tier) is True Blue, Terps, CT Charges and Breakers....

not bad company considering a nation wide talent pool

Based on what? TB went 1-2 on Saturday at Crabfest and TerpsBlack went 2-1. And when these two teams played each other in a fall tournament on LI, TB lost to Terps Black in championship game.

Over the weekend in Young Gunz-
TB scored 21 gave up 25
TerpsBlk scored 27 gave up 24

ok, you're right... I neglected to add up the point deferential and factor in the computer algorithm strength of opponent analysis...

please... get friends

Gents I believe gc17 beat fl$ in a tourney a few weeks ago. Based on your methodology, shouldn't gc17 be ranked higher than fl$ ?

At NXT Summer Invitational this coming weekend, fl$ plays Outlaws Black. Team 91 and Garden City are in the other group but don't play each other, possible they may play against each other in the playoffs

Since fl$ won their tournament, do they move to #1?

Nope! Terps Black stay the same. As long as they never play another "top 5" LI team (according to this "Master Ranking") & because their daddy says so!

Terp Black Daddy or Terp Daddy or Terp Green Daddy???? Do they all pay the same?

You are correct, that is old and actually misses the point. My question is, how can the Terp Black team be the best...I would think a Wolverine can easily defeat a terp in actual combat. And for that matter, a piranha would devour a terp..now obviously a woverine would be dominant on land, but in the water a terp may have an edge and a piranha would definately be dominant...how does this program name the teams? Then they stick a Terp and Terp Black addendum on the team who in theory would be the weakest...this is confusing, time to focus on another program

2018 parent trying to figure out whether to provide my son the opportunity to play at the 3D Blue Chip Region Tryout in January next year.

I’ve read Forum pages 40-60 which start to cover this topic, but hope to get some more color from the 2017 parent group. I am aware that the actual Jake Reed camp for 2017 is still one week away.

Also, if anyone attended the Brine event July 1-3 and is also attending this, can you compare and contrast?

I am not concerned about the recruiting angle or the money grab implications. I am curious as to whether the camp is competitive and provides an opportunity to play against top talent while receiving top coaching.

The pricing seems competitive when compared with the three day instructional camps.

Absolutely would go to the 3D Blue Chip camp in January. My son went this year and had a fantastic experience (also made Jake Reed Nike Blue Chip). Very good training, well-organized, and great ratio of coaches to kids, they actually learned something rather than just playing games. Additionally, the level of competition was quite good for the Mid-Atlantic (LI, NJ, Philly, etc). Also, this is the only way to make the Jake Reed camp for rising freshmen which is a great opportunity. Even if you kid doesn't make Jake Reed, it still worth it in my opinion.

Brine was also a good experience for my son but not at the level of 3D Blue Chip. Limited skills training (only one session), most of the time is spent practicing and playing with you state's team. Decent competition (although not great) but a really fun experience for the boys playing on a state team. Coaching dependent on who you get assigned, some better than others. 3D Blue Chip more valuable in my opinion and would prioritize it over Brine, but Brine a fun event as well. Hope this helps, my 2 cents.

1000% money grab!!
if two rising 9th graders are recruited, it would be a lot...

next years if your son is ready for the spotlight... go

fl$ needs to play in stronger tournaments to gain respect.
