I'll put money down that MM son #2 will also end up #1 Recruit when the time comes. Not willing to bet if he'll be a '25, '26 or '27 by then though!

Take the ‘27 bet!

What's the outlook for the summer? Who will be the best in and around MD?
No clue where kids are landing since many teams transition from 8th to HS.

Crabs 25 team most likely will fold, too many out of state kids, no practices whatsoever, head coach had a massive heart attack and now can’t find a replacement. Easy for the out of state boys to find teams back home not so much for the MD boys.

My two cents (and sense) on MD area rankings for this summer:
1) 91MD
2) Hawks
3) Next Level
4) FCA
5) True Annapolis & DC Express (tie)

It's a garbage shoot as many teams are still forming and figuring out if they are even fielding teams. So my super-early call for MD area rankings for this summer:

1) 91
2) Hawks
3) Next Level
4) FCA
5) DC Express
6) Crabs (if they find a coach)
7) MadLax Cap
8) True Annap
9) Koopers
10) Preds
11) Cannons
12) Team MD

91, Hawks, NL, FCA all got better
DCE, Crabs, ML got worse
True, Koopers, Cannons, Team MD stayed the same
Preds just beginning!

I did not think Preds were even forming a 25 team?

Not sure DCE got worse as it went 10-0-1 in Fall, beating 4H, Eclipse, LIE (19-4), FCA, 3D New England and tied Hawks.

They formed one. Mostly MIAA kids. From various schools, not just StP. They won't be world beaters, but should compete well.

DC Express isn’t a bad team, just clearly not on the level of the other elite teams in the MidAtlantic area. Defense is very good but offense isn’t, especially on attack.

ML will do better now that they are HS

True. Always been a team that struggles to take quality shots and the attack needs more movement and creativity. Their defense is what keeps them in it. Some really talented poles there.

Evidently the new rankings reflect DCE’s (#2) success in the fall against many top caliber teams. That the top three teams in the nation are all in our area is impressive. Should be a great summer of lacrosse for the 2025s!

State of Maryland top 10?

LOLOLOLOL

WHAT A JOKE!

DC Express is terrible
