Coaches ussually pick a higher amount of their own kids because 1. they like the way they play. 2. they know the training process. Why are we debating this it goes back to the beginning of time.
They know the training process, what exactly are you babbling about in this case. So when CR stacks an UA team with YJ players its ridiculous but when KA does its just smart. Its gross on both accounts
How did we get to CR and YJ? Please do not mention CR and KA in the same sentence .
To think that Coach Amonte is not going to favor her recruits is foolish. Obviously she thinks very highly of the players that is why she recruited them.
Here is a question: if your daughter did not receive an offer from Northwestern do you really think that Coach Amonte is going to want your daughter on Team USA over players that she recruited and made offers to? It simply does not make sense. Many of you believe that your daughter is better than the players selected and that's okay, that's your opinion. Coach Amonte is entitled to her opinion as well.
Cry politics all you want , the reality is Coach Amonte is going to select the players that she believes will help the team win.
Here is another question : did all of the Northwestern recruits / players make the team?
I have read a lot of bitter complaints that stem from sour grapes but nothing of substance . I have read a couple of insightful retorts regarding the tryouts and they make sense to me.
As usual the jealous try to set the narrative with their claims of "it's all politics". At some point you are going to have to come to terms with the reality.
Here is the problem with your logic, you assume all the top players wanted to go to NU and Kelly already had her pick of who’s who. But rest assured that many many of the very top players have zero interest in playing for NU and for KAH. NU is lucky to get a small share of the top players, just like all the other top programs. And that’s how this US team should be put together, with a small share of the top kid or two from all the top programs. You think way too highly of the NU commits if you think the numbers are proportional to the talent pool. She should be embarrassed for herself, and US lacrosse should be embarrassed by what she has done. Maybe most all will get cut from final roster and we will see one or two make the team, that would be about right.
You have good points and I agree to some degree. However, you assume that I think That all of the top players want to go to Northwestern. I do not think that at all. I am sure that some of the "top players" did not make the team. I am also sure that many of the "top players" did make the team.
There was an earlier post that pointed out a number of players on the roster that would be considered consensus picks or All-Americans. Is everyone wrong on the assessment of these players? Are these players so connected that they are rubber stamped for everything? C'mon man give it a rest already, stop whining. Stop trying to spin things to make your daughter look better than she is. The last coment was not directed at you, it is for the parents who who will be spinning tales about the tryouts and the players who were selected. I have already heard a few. Very sad listening to the folks and their delusions. Never going to be a perfect system but some on this site cry foul all of the time. Just maybe the players selected earned their spot and the coaches and evaluators know what they are doing
