Do a little research..rought up to varsity, did not start, did play and made a nice contribution. Express gave much more exposure leading to commitment !
This is an incredible story actually. Wasn't even a starter on JV this year and now look where he is. And isn't even the best lefty attack at Set - there are two (one above and one below) that some view as better depending on who you ask. What's in the water over there with lefty attacks?
The one above is good and will team up with this boy to form one of the more formidable attack lines in high school next season. No clue who the one below is since there were no call ups to JV last year. Must of torn it up in Middle School
The post was meant to congratulate the Duke committed sophomore player. Your opinion of the other lefty attackmen of Manhasset is irrelevant and should be discussed in a different forum. Many schools throughout LI have great lefty attacks, not just Manhasset. The post is acknowledging the huge role that LIE had in the process. And FYI, there is nothing "in the water". It's called natural talent combined with motivation and parental support (having the sense to join a great club team). Happens all over the Island as you can see from the list of commited sophomore players.
I want to puke reading this marketing crap from the clubs. It's frickin' just gross how the clubs try to take credit for a kid getting recruited to a place like Duke. Any kid good enough for Duke didn't need Express. Maybe the clubs can help the "fringe" kid get into the mediocre school but the "studs" don't need them. Manhasset (and all high schools for that matter) should take credit just like these clubs and post all of their commits on their school website too. These clubs are shameless.
Actually, now that you mention it, the schools ALWAY take credit for where the kids go, including Manhasset. It's listed in graduation propaganda from every high school. So when multiple kids go to let's say Ivy's from one grade, same school, the school says it's because of the stellar academics. But for the most part it's sports related.
