Newsday’s list are mostly political.Definitely not the best players on the island let alone their own team.As for determining who makes the list stats on the varsity level are and should be the determining factors.Along with the winter league simply due to exposure and body of work.Yes the list is way to big(should be 50 spread out across the 4 positions on the field)throughout Long Island.The underclassmen rankings are harder to do because of the lack of varsity experience and depend more on coaches referral.Summer tournaments and showcases have been watered down.Years ago you had to be accepted,now it’s just the first to sign up and give the dough so they can’t be taken seriously. |
