Tri-Stare Shore is dead, all kids moving to other teams or going to Tri-State Central
At '23 BBL Elite is the top team with Blue Star behind it. Blue Star will get better with new kids and if they trim their roster.
Leading Edge Elite was very weak but will be strong next year after 5 to 10 kids reclass from '22.
Tri-State all moving to central but major issues
Mad Dog '23 does play AA but loses 3rd game of day because of numbers, they are 3 to 5 players away from being a real AA team.
NJ Riot - AA team and A teams. Parents not on AA are unhappy. Not sure what parents are watching if they think their kids are AA.
Every club in NJ has issues. Parents all complain about the same things, outside of maybe BBL & Blue Star: Communication is a joke, lack of any player development and bottom 5 kids on the roster are a money grab.

Mad Dog plays some AA teams in tournaments when there is only one 2023 blended A division, if there is an AA and A bracket, Mad Dog plays A. No shame in playing A, but let's be honest. They will definitely get better with some player adjustments, but I do know that some people are turned off from Mad Dog because they rely heavily on local kids. [/quote]
And the other statement you make is that Mad Dog is 3-5 players away from being a real AA team, not an easy find in the market[/quote]
You seem to be wired in at Mad Dog. Did they pick up any new players? [/quote]
Not really wired into Mad Dog, but it is a small market, most people involved with club lacrosse in the area know what is going on with each team, and who the top players are, no idea if they picked anybody up after tryouts. Obviously, the best option for players would have been tri-state shore 2023 kids, but I haven't heard about any of them going to Mad Dog
