No criticism of Sweetlax or Dukes here. Just seems like a completely different animal versus a team that first taught a kid his first split dodge.


On the money. Sweetlax doesn't develop kids, but they do have a good knack for recruiting kids from other programs and presenting them as their own. They are a flavor of the day and the "cool" club now for ego maniac fathers but hubris will make them an after thought in 5 years when the next "cool" flavor of the day club comes along.
