LE certainly turns over going into 9th just not sure where they are coming from this year, heard BBL. Don’t follow ‘25 and below so I have no idea.

2023 would probably be the most interesting age group, and not sure that LE and Tri-State are the "clear" top 2. You could make the argument for LE, they didn't win a lot of games, but they did play very good teams, so hard to get a handle on that team, Tri-State did not have any quality wins. That being said, tri-state may see some improvement with the SHP kids moving in, but that will not be a good sign for the current tri-state kids.
I wouldn't sleep on SHP this year. This will definitely funnel good players to Tristate.

Maybe I was a little unclear, I think that the SHP kids will definitely help tri-state, I was simply responding to the suggestion that up until this point, they were the "clear" top 2...my other point was, and this goes back a bit in this forum, that some current tri-state kids may be seeing a lot of the sidelines as the SHP kids roll in, and perhaps be shown the door down the road. Obviously, club coaches have an incentive to get their kids recruited, good for the club...now mix that with a club director that has a vested interest in keeping his day job (i.e. getting kids recruited is good for SHP)..not suggesting that the club director would do this, but it could create an issue with the non-SHP parents.
