I hope it’s not the LE 2024. There is no room now for playing time with the current team. I don’t know how they would take on more players kids would be playing one quarter a game.

I don’t believe it’s 2024.

2025, tough to go to school and your classmates ask you to change clubs every day. A bunch of future executives closing the deal! Their parents should be proud. If he does show up tomorrow that's a big hit to BBL.

Leafing Edge 25 has same issue

Kids thinking "the grass is always greener" let's see how that plays out.

If you don’t think all clubs do this… you are sadly mistaken

It shouldn’t be for the winter you are heading into your summer recruiting. So if it’s 2024 it’s wrong. No one has identified the year. That was my point. On the 25 level I don’t fully agree with it but I get it. I just think if you pick up 4-8 kids freshman year into sophomore you show no loyalty to your team. If the team is bad and your cleaning house I get it as well.

I don't think NLF is everything but many players and parents do? CT has 3 NLF teams and LI has 2. NJ only having one is hurting NJ lacrosse, The players on the back end of LE teams would get more playing time on another team. If you are 1st tier, you are getting recruited on O2 and Blue Star and Steps so LE is not mandatory for the top tier. LE will never agree to share NLF in NJ.

LE runs an elite highschool program. That’s no secret. No surprise to me that people would leave bbl for either LE or Tri State. Track record speaks volumes.

Agreed. This sounds like a backhanded compliment but LE’s 2023 team is weak yet they still get kids recruited. If that’s your goal, then go for it. They will get it done.

What makes that team weak? The MD fogo? The Villanova or Brown LSM ? The Notre Dame, Bucknell, Denver Defensemen? The Yale, Lehigh, Navy, UMBC offensive guys ? The Fairfield Goalie?

They have the arguably the best Fogo, LSM , Defenseman, Attackman, and Midfielder in the class in NJ.

The amount of detest on that program is comical. Give credit when credit is due. Period.

23 Riot and Tri State have just about the same numbers....everyone has caught up...that is why LE does not have 22-25 kids going D1 anymore like they did 6 or so years ago....stop overstating LE....the kids can stay at whatever club they are on nowadays and still get to the same colleges.

All 3 programs have guys and are quality programs. That’s not the argument. I think what he is saying is that everyone just wants to bash and say how weak LE is yet they have 13+ commits and some of the best players in the state.

Okay...I see what your saying now...my kids are not LE and there is a lot of unjust detest towards them but I do think its because a post like the earlier one trying to sensationalize the schools the kids are going to....that is just my take on what I think people see.
