Agreed. He is AWESOME!!.

Maybe he should go to Gilman, they desperately need a Head Coach there.

looking for some help , rising sophomore this fall and wanting some advice on what showcases were worth it for your kids other than Maverick and Mainstage

Starting with the fall

1- the show?
2- 5 star @img
3-NLF futures @IMG

juniors open
future phenoms
One percent

I guess just wondering which ones were worth while

+1

How do you have 140+ kids in your program and not even make the playoffs?

Didn't Gilman beat Loyola this season with less talent?

Loyola had the best defensive personnel in the league and over a dozen kids headed to D1 programs and they couldn't make the playoffs.

Meanwhile Severn had bubblegum and duct tape.

My son did not do any of these and is 2022 D1 commit

LB coach is top shelf!

Uh
Teacher contracts are not related to coaching positions at LB.[/quote]

Please keep the current coach!

The rest of the MIAA[/quote]

Yes they did beat Loyola but it was because the D1 Virginia commit Goalie had a spectacular game. Nothing to do with the rec league coaching.

Yes, yes they did. We now call them the Loyola Donna’s!

Including AAA and Elite club players who have been student-athletes there since 6th grade. Can't train them up for 10th grade in 4 years? Yikes.

That is a low blow. Using Loyola as a barometer on a team win. Lets keep it Real people.

Best advice is that they are all different and all different for each player and where he wants to go. If you have no idea where you are thinking of going, go to as many as you can. Most have coaches there but I doubt you get a look by any D1 school. Most better D1 already have their hooks into who they want, very few go to showcases to see anything except the players they are already interested in. Most of these showcases are a waste of time for the majority of players who think they will get discovered.

Are you talking about Loyola or Calvert Hall?

Both have a ton of kids who seem to underperform these days.

To say Severn had bubblegum and duct tape is a bit minimizing. They had several top shelf players with limited depth. Will be interesting to see if they have similar success.

Loyola had 20+ D1 players in 2021. And they didn't do any better.

Why was that?

I bet those 20 kids are going to be just fine.

Severn had the best FOGO in the League, a very good keeper, excellent coaching and 1-2 very good players at every position. Depth was clearly their issue.

prefabricated-hangar

Severn is a dumpster fire

Someone is talking to themselves to try to make a point. Focus on your son and stop stirring the pot!!

Is it true that some of Severn's Top players are transferring?

Nope. Nice try though.

What is the beef with Gilman and Loyola?

Two programs that have hired to many coaches lately and are on a downward spiral that they cant seem to stop. What was once storied programs are now out of control dumpster fires according to many.

Randor 11 Spalding 2 bottom feeders are back where they belong

Look who is back, Everyone's favorite. Man, it is time to get over your son not getting the call to go to Spalding with his buddies, I bet your son is over it .

Shouldn't you be scouting at the Navy practice now?

They will do a great job warming the bench like most Loyola grads.

Thought it was spelled Spaulding

Recruiting...
Curious to know if your son's club coaches are ACTIVELY involved in his recruiting process?

YES.....just as important as the HS coaches

Both Programs are in good hands: Don't live in the past (storied programs). Just stand on the sidelines and cheer for the boys.

Good hands? Loyola does so little with the talent they have. That’s a coaching issue.

LB had a weak face off game and an often disappearing team defense. All four teams in the semis had both better FOGOs and keepers. LBs settled offense, when they got the ball, was generally anemic and out moded. They didn't generate enough transition offense out of some great individual defenders to bridge the gap on settled offense.

One of their top LSMs could have easily insisted on being inserted at the X to stop the bleeding in the face off game. I've seen the individuals on their D play during the Summer and they know how to play proper team D. Sliding fast to a shorty or an overmatched or picked opponent is defensive lacrosse 101. The same applies to desgning game plans and finalizing match ups. Kids these days watch a ton of film, go to a ton of college level clinics, know how to play the proper way and have awareness of themselves as a unit. If the HC or coordinators don't do it, the team's leaders need to step forward and have the units self correct. Part of becoming a leader is learning how and when to build consensus to challenge the status quo if it isn't working.

Loyola lacks in leadership from the administration, coaches, captains and players. I would not send my kid to that school until they get it together. Otherwise you will end up transferring like so many kids have.

I hope coach U and Abrams when to coaching camp this summer!

I'm sorry but you have wondered into the wrong blog. The little girl, everybody gets a prize, forum is on the Disney Channel.
