Relax. No need to assert your teams superiority. I've not seen anyone from Jesters claim to be on the same "level" as Terps or Extreme.
Our team just wants to play the best competition and get our kids better and better. Our kids are not going to improve playing down.
Really no need for you to imply that our kids are still playing for Tee Shirts. No need for you to be so silly and condescending.
Best of luck to your kids the rest of the way.

You are so off the mark, the Academy Class is for them to get exposed to playing with other good players with which they normally would not, also, it allows them to play against other top players throughout the country and make some new friends. If you go into this with the idea that it is for recruiting, you have it wrong. If they are fortunate enough to make the Rising Sophomore team or the HS team, that is where the recruiting comes into play, I watched a few of those games and there were a lot of coaches on the sidelines taking notes. So, since you probably were not even there, stop the nonsense. I know my son had a great time and made a lot of new friends.

this is much less than the Blue Chip, $50 registration fee, $550 tryout fee, $550 Blue Chip fee. did i mention that the tryout is in FL, airfare, car and hotel. This makes the Brine event a steal. yeah, your son probably did make that either.

From another 2017 parent here, Brine was a great event and the kids had a great time representing Long Island, if you are worrying about recruiting only don't bother, if your kid wants to go and have fun and compete against the rest of the country go ave fun. more the three quarters of the HS team was already committed and they had a great time.

Nice! someone who is also looking at something other than recruiting. LAX should also be fun for the boys (and girls) once in a while.

Not to argue back. Looking for fun, fine. If looking at this as a showcase with an outcome, forget it. Brine does sell it as a big recruiting thing, which to be candid is a joke. It basically passes your info onto the direct mail guys who want you at their camps, clinics or "exclusive" showcases. My spam email box is bursting this week.

Igloo just announced their tryouts for next year and it includes a U 15 team. Interesting.

Igloo U15 should be loaded with north shore wealthy kids that have low lacrosse ambitions - It will take more then nice tents and cool gear to get top players to leave current teams

$3500 tuition -wow ! Site did list a lot, so to be be fair I guess I would have to add up all the a la carte things I paid in addition to tuition. Don't think it would even approach $2500. Wonder who is behind the 2018 team ? A strange age to start a team, especially with the gaps at 2020,2019.

And the 1st 2018 Commit is ?????
Well lets just say it has happened
Story at 11

actually it is U15 so I guess both 2018 & 2019.

My son did Express this year, and last year we were at 91; both ended up costing me around $3,800 plus when I did all their suggestive training and bought all their equipment. Sounds expensive but when I really looked at what my son would be getting I think it may be worth it. Everything is included!

They must have a core group or a coach that knows they can produce a competitive team. I say that with zero knowledge. U15 is a great year Dicks, Lake Placid and Florida Nationals. Plus a whole lot of recruiting things.

Saw a Turtle is going to Penn via Xander tweet. Nothing on 2018's.

Ohh you mean like Legacy tried this year. Look where that got them. The B slashers team was better than the A carnage team because of political crap from the very start of the season. Carnage has imploded not enough players to field a team. Good luck Igloo with fielding a 2018 team.

I would agree that there must be a parent(s) that approached them with a group or core players to build around. Pure speculation on my part but we have seen this is how things are done. My guess is a certain man behind the curtain of a team named for a certain type of shark that has tried to put a team together the last few years that hasn't produced results....or maybe not !

Just got this e-mail from National 175, they must not have seen any scores from the Terps games....this has got to be a joke.....


Greetings to everyone that attended the Best of the Best Tournament and Showcase this past weekend,



Thank you for attending our event. We believe it was the most competitive tournament of the year with teams coming from all over the country, bringing really strong and impressive teams, and covering most of the lacrosse hot spots as well as spots previously less known as lacrosse spots, competing over a 3-day period. Indeed, many college coaches we spoke with stated, “There were a great many very talented athletes assembled for this event.”



It was truly a very competitive event with so many of the games, if not most of them, ending in a 1-3 goal differential which is exactly what you want to see as a college coach recruiting, or an event organizer. Blow-outs are simply no fun to either side so we do our best to assemble the best of the best and if you attended this event, you would most likely agree that that is what we brought together for this event.

I think most of the HS games (2015-2017) were comepetitive.

Youth games not so much.

why be cryptic? everyone else on this board directly throws out speculation all the time. I bet if you called them and asked they would give you some information of what the plan for 2018 is

They apparently didn't see the officiating either. The absolute worst officiating I have ever seen at a youth lacrosse tournament. Just incredibly bad officiating on all sides, really hard to watch

Who?

First 8th 2018 off the board, picked up by UNC. The beginning of the end!

So who did they get a commitment from? I don't see it anywhere...

His name is Drew Mifundsrlow. He is out of Mad Lax. He is representated by someone for the firm of Duey, Cheetum and Howe.

LI boy? Staying with their town or going to St A or Chaminade?

i heard it was a kid from syosset with great hair and nice body. Who ever you are this is the kid BOOM!

story at 11? what

Okay so who is the first?

his hair is not that nice and he turned the offer down

Wow, J P ?

Bash at the Beach schedule has both Legacy 2018 teams playing in same division , so I guess they found players.

SK?

It is a Prodigy out of China. His name is Wei Tu Yung! Kid is off the charts!!

I heard it was a tall lanky kid. His name is Sid Finch the second. His dad played for the Mets. He threw 108 miles an hour.

Yeah, 2019 players and maybe some 2020 sprinkled in.

They don't ever play at same time so kids will be doing a lot of running between games. This compilation of powerhouse teams will result in a Tomahawks vs Legacy Slashers final.

JK

OK?

Special K

So it begins with ranking our 2018 boys...This guy is a 3d guy that was retweeted by J Munro...

That's a wrap. Very early list, but, looking forward to seeing these guys develop & move up/down the list over the years.

Did a lot of kids leave Carnage team ?
