This is a silly back and forth. Sorry tall boy daddies jealous that your son was overlooked in favor of a shorter kid. Do you really think there is a majic height number that if not reached will boom a kids lax fate? Bottom line, if your kid can ball, he will be recruited and play regardless of up and coming so called "trends", etc. I know plenty of shorter kids that are hands down better players than taller counterparts as well as vice versa. Stop trying to create a controversy and let the best players play regardless of height. And comparing lax to football and basketball is rediculous!

Myles Jones! Nuff said

Where's he now, while Kavanaugh is playing in the semis this weekend?

And he's playing thanks to Perkovich.... Who's 6'4"

Or maybe the other way around, who's a tewaaraten finalist? Jones already blew his chance!

crap my son is a 5'7 defender...hope he grows

Anyone here about ND prospect camp?

I'm guessing ND has all the 2017 class. But it's a nice trip.

For all you shortie doubters. Tune into msg varsity Pequa Syosset county championship.
One word=Conncannon

According to lax power, ND recruited or committed 14 in this year's graduating class, 14 in 2014, 13 in 2013, 12 in 2013, and 10 in 2011. They presently have 9 commitments listed for 2017s.

If that is where your son wants to play and he has the grades and talent don't let the early recruits make you think there isn't a chance. Some of the kids who are recruited as freshman will undoubtedly not gain admission due to a change of heart, injury, or inability to get the minimum GPA and scores.

Interesting how US Lacrosse has "selection committee" for the U-19 tryouts, but here like every other U.S. National team they come back with a severe bias toward the recruits to the programs the coaching staff come from. Are the best teens in the country concentrated at Penn, Penn State or Ohio State recruits? Many great players selected, but even more were ignored by the lax bro old guard. At pretty much every position on the field there are 2015 through 2017 players I can think of who were just robbed. Frankly at two of the most important positions some of the picks were just baffling knowing who else applied...at FOGO and keeper. I'd also like to see a lot less open parenthesis college closed parentheses attached to each kid as a credential. Pretty much every decent 2017 kid is committed somewhere or could be to a D1 low tier program if they wanted to be. Is a NJIT, Wagner or a Siena verbal commit something exciting that I am not in on yet? Yes, my son didn't get a tryout invite and we are pretty incited about it, but then comes the self reminder that this is US Lacrosse. I kept a copy of the application just for laughs...fill in your college commit here. But remember this is not a part of the selection criteria. Oh sure. That had nothing to do with all the Baltimore old guard kids or OSU or PSU or Penn State recruits who are suddenly the best players. Let me know the last time Those three colleges did much on the field. Do ACC teams cringe before facing one of those three?

How about Wes Berg?

sorry your kid want chosen, but that list is stacked with top players. Not saying there are not other top players that could be on that list, but they can't pick all of them. As for being disgruntled about the PSU and OS kids, if you do a little research, you will see those boys are highly ranked Stat leaders that earned those spots without question! If you didn't like this process, wait till next week at UA tryouts. Always interesting!

Who are the coaches for LI Express 2017 Team 1 and Team 2? Thanks!

Team 2 is Jack Moran the Head coach of Chaminade HS.

Don't be fooled - oldest trick in the books. Moran is in name only and will never show - he's only the headliner until the checks are cashed for the B team. Good luck finding him on the beach when the tournaments start.
