One thing to consider is $$! Not everyone can afford to do both!

Except when you dont pay

LI Express North/Westchester (?) deserves to be on this list.

These lists are a waste of time..

All the drama about the pride tryout.... What if a kid (not affiliated with either of the big 2) made it.

Is it a good tryout for those kids because they made it or were they just picked to throw off the scent.

What are you talking about ?

Just get over the fact that your kid didn't make it and stop trying to continue the drama. They can't take everyone.

They cant take everyone but they sure can take almost all the 91 kids..They must be the most talented players out there and all the other organizations are ok at best. I am sure 91 and express will be fine with their own showcase . No need to add additional kids from other organizations just to fill up spots on rosters to add more teams. Don't waste your money if you received the same invite

I get it you are pissed that your son was overlooked and that one player wasn't at the tryout. But if you look at the list and ask your son about the boys who made it he might tell you that the boys selected are pretty darn good.

How would u honestly feel if your son was overlooked and there was a kid made it who didn't try out?

Not much anymore. It's where the suckers go to play now. Maverick and other much better. But if you're good, you don't need any of these scams for the coaches to recruit you. My kid never went to any of this and was offered by several top 10 programs. But, if you want to spend $1500 for JR and the like, I'm sure they'll take your money.

If I knew who the kid was and he was a top flight player. I wouldn't be making a stink.

Nobody cares who the kid is, who he plays for,blah blah blah. Don't you idiots get it? You don't show up (for whatever reason) you don't get a free pass. people are mad for a reason, and deserve to be! This in no way affected my son, nevertheless, I'm outrageous by the entitled mentality!

You outrageous... okay. It is just my opinion.

Wake up people !!!

Fact -- kid made the team and wasn't there !!
Fact --- evaluators were on side lines so it looked like it was a fair tryout
Fact --- evaluators input really didn't matter there was a team before the tryout
Fact --- they made a lot of money
Fact --- Many boys earned a spot on team and didn't stand a chance if they don't play for 91 or express
Fact --- Many boys learned a hard lesson ... It's not always about talent it's about mommy and daddy and their friends first ..

Not trying to take away from kids that made teams they are all great players but some kids that didn't get picked deserved it more than some that did

Folks- No horse in this race, but my kid played Brine last year.

LI is only region that takes Brine seriously. Other regions can barely field teams. Teams that post are not the best players.

Brine is nothing more than a money grab.

If you can't figure out who the kid is or the father then you are out of the loop. You need to get in it or it will be your child left behind. people catch up to other people So time will tell. Some kids won't even be playing in college because they like other sports .They always like the kid who plays multiple sports over the ones that only play lacrosse. It's the entitlement that bothers people the most. It wasn't a fair tryout at all. And all the 91 and express parents can say what they want but those are 100% the facts

Locust Valley?

Why the secrecy? where is he from?

Please lets refrain from singling out this player as to where he is from.

What's your name? Where are you from? Why the secrecy?

Did make it ?

If you don't know who it is then your really out of the loop and you shouldn't know. He's a great player but should of been at the tryout.

Lets be clear about something. As moderators we will allow certain things regarding players if its good nature. We happen to have had a situation with Brine about a player not showing up but making the team being a major topic. I as my fellow moderators will not allow negative comments about any player. So please lets not try and single out individual players.

How do we even know any of this is true?

Do you realize how big an arrogant snob you sound like ?

All comments should be about the value by Brine and the influence that some parents can have over things ..it's a lesson in politics and not about talent

So in your opinion or anyone else, of the team that was picked, how many of the player should not be on the team ? Please no names or positions just a number.

You do know we are talking about kids that are 13 to 14 years old. If being arrogant prevents a kid from being singled out, I guess I will be arrogant. You can register and not be anonymous and then maybe you can email me and explain to me why you feel I am being arrogant by trying to avoid the negativity and attacks on individual players.

Are you not aware of all the posts regarding this issue? Please stop trying to be a pot stirrer regarding naming kids.

Look at the roster

Did your kid tryout ? Were you there ? Do you know people who did ? Did you see the roaster ? It's really no secret if you or your kid was there.
That's how all these people know !!!

Does anyone have information on the Super Series Future Showcase in MA this summer that is being run by the new NLF organization? Is the best talent on the East Coast really being invited or is it just getting off the ground?

16-17

FACT-The list is published.

FACT-The answer is yes.

Express player.

LOL..how would that have looked if he didn't make it.. gotta love it .My guess is Global Sports will drop the Brine next year..Too many lies and they don't answer Antibes emails

It was okay for you to be a pot stirrer, being you were the one continuing the negative side of the posts...

The arrogance i'm referring to is, because one is ,"Out of the loop he shouldn't know."

Great State Showfown canceled. All the 91 and Express players were already booked.

Ok guess you did not realize that i did not make that comment about being out of the loop.
