I will agree with you there, There is also a few other boys that would Challenge that kid no doubt. Couple boys from GC and there is a kid from Sachem as well.
Me too. All three are in my TOP 10 offensive players in 2024, anywhere. Absolutely no question. And I am not the dad either. And I'm not a dad on that team. Anybody want to debate that, you know nothing about youth lacrosse. The 3rd kid is the best 2024 kid ANYWHERE, when he feels like playing. Dominant, when his head is in the game.
Def in the Top 10 those boys , but the best at 2024 is a little much. Kid is def up there top 3, but there are others that hang right with him or better. To make a remark like that you def, either coach or are related to the child. .
If you haven’t seen the kid lately, then you haven’t seen him. And I’m not related. Just know Lacrosse talent, when I see it. When he’s on, he is really on. And the size factor benefits him a lot. Admittedly, when he’s not, he’s pretty average. But those days may be over. Just curious. You’re not saying who is better. So, who do you consider better?

so let me clarify... if someone plays pole they don’t have skills
Do not listen to that stunad. plenty of skilled kids play long Pole. Great D wins Games .
Obviously lacrosse neophytes. It’s common sense. Ask yourself some questions, relative to the skill positions. In order to be effective, does a pole need...
* A hard/accurate shot * pin point passes * exceptional catching ability * deceptive dodging skills * speed * High offensive IQ
If your being honest with yourself, you now understand. Not saying poles aren’t important. They obviously are. But a lot easier to find a good pole than it is a good skill player. No comparison.
You must be honest with yourself. All those questions are offensive questions. lets look at it this way :
: Needs Speed : need to be able to catch and throw accurately : needs to Know both offense and Defense : needs to know when to slide, how to clear the ball up field (which is very important), and many other things I may not include. : That is a true defensive Player. FYI. my son is a Mid. but I know the true Value of Defense. Maybe at a young age when learning the game Kids were stuck on the defensive side of the ball, but now defense is a very important part of the puzzle. Good Defense. When you find a good Defensive player you will know what I am talking about. Defense creates offense IT WINS GAMES.. IN EVERY SPORT
