Are you talking about the Revo team that now calls one of their teams AAA elite .the same team last year that was an A team . Saw this and thought it was very funny. What showcases did the AAA elite Revo team get invited to this fall or at least are going to? Trying to see if they are at the big ones coming up and playing Orange or Express

Take it easy... Just mentioning several teams with high end players. Don't get you panties in a bunch. Could have mentioned other "A AA" type teams.

How about you answer the question....any defections from EXP, 91, Revo (or any other top quality team) to the new Bluefish?

There were some new additions to the top teams at EXP and 91, so naturally we could expect some roster shake ups with the new additions. Teams don't just add players they replace them.

Are you serious about revo calling themselves elite? If so what did they do last year to be and elite team? If they were elite then why would they let some kids go and some leave? Are you sure they said that?

Lets be clear, they never called themselves elite, the term they use is Select. Get your gosh darn info right. They are doing a team that will be doing showcases(showcases that are going to be good for 9th graders. most kids are not ready to get verbals and looked at but it is a start).
Every year parents get upset when their kid doesnt make a team and they start bashing. I have to say it stinks when kids get let go, no one likes to cut kids.
each year someone comes on here and has negative things to say and every year this team takes the high road and tries to keep things positive. Parents that are on the team or have joined the team have nothing but positive things to say. This year 2 players left and they were good kids who wanted to see what they can do with other programs, there was no mass exodus like other programs. How can you continually try to bash them. No one is saying Elite or watch out 91 or express.

Why don't you tell us what team your son plays for and then we can compare or maybe meet up in a tournament or scrimmage.

I say do not call it anything until you do something to prove that you are a true select team. Anybody can call themselves select so it really doesn't mean anything. So now that you are a select team which showcases will you do? Has your team ever beaten 91 or epress? Just asking not bashing your team. Like the other guy said why would your team let select kids go. The good teams don't usually let their own kids go. Don't they keep them together in order to keep them in sink ?

Did bluefish take any Players from the top 2019 teams at express or 91?

I suspect a bunch of TRue Blue and Igloo kids are a big component of the Buefish.

So I know of 3 select kids - One from True Blue and one from fl$ and one from Igloo each to express

If that is the case, where did the select kids that held those spots previously end up playing?
It was said earlier that 4 revo kids moved on... to what org?

Also with an influx of talent on the market, where did the rest of the Igloo, True Blue, Legacy and fl$ players end up?

I think that is why Bluefish got some real talent.

What 4 Revo kids moved on ..I know only 2 left on their own

Can anyone explain what LI Sting is?

Is it different from regular travel teams in that it does only showcases and it also recruits from other parts of the country?

Good morning 2019 parents, looking for an opinion on Inside Lacrosse Mid-Atlantic Prospect Day. Son received an invite, wondering what the thoughts are from those who have EXPERIENCE with it not just an OPINION about it. TIA

[quote=Anonymous]What Select kids played for True Blue, fl$ or Igloo . I think you use the word Select very loosely

I have not gone Or know anyone who has gone to this specific one. Have heard good things from some of their other prospect days. my son got an invite, registered and he is attending. Giving it a shot and see how it goes.

Worse case it is a day of lacrosse

Thanks for sharing what you "think". I asked what you know.

Could you really be that judgmental and condescending and stubbornly closed minded as to imply that not one kid on any of those TB, fl$, Rev or Igloo teams could possibly be "select"?

Come on! Everyone knows there were some really good select players on those teams (Brine NLC, Jake Reed, etc. type players).

One kid definitely took a spot on the express A.

The question was simple where did the other "select players" from those teams end up and how many moved from one of the big 2 top teams to Bluefish or got displaced to another team?

If you don't have the answer or can't provide facts... don't bother chiming in with what you "think".

Where did all the Legacy Commando kids go after it fell apart ?? Team had some good players on it last year.. FOGO was one of the best I've ever seen..

First off I'm playing you. Second kids will learn new things and yes some mature earlier then others. You can always learn new things. It's something that the parent had to be realistic about. If your kid has two left feet then I'm sure he's not going to be this stud. I'm sure these guys were good athlete's when they were younger. When people write things on this site,you h s ve to talk like a child. Do you really think people are that stupid. Listen to yourself. It's lax people. He's feared in college lax, wow. Am I supposed to be impressed. Big deal. What's more important, that he is the leading scorer in college lax or the most feared in college or that he helped change someone's life or he is an executive of some big company. It's people like you that puts lax ahead of academics. You hardly hear people talk about the importance of school over any sport. You just got played and showed how stupid you can be. Think next time.

Jake Reed=Money grab
Ask any of the top coaches and they will tell you that this showcase has dropped off over the last few years. If you are able to get into Showtime, it is much better run and attended by the top programs.

All of the showcases cost money - to call one a "money grab" over another is ignorant. Sounds like someone whose son didn't get invited to JR...

Best players went to Outlaws, including fogo

How about this - I KNOW that there are no Select, Elite, Super Special, or whatever other term you want to use, on those teams. And that's a fact, Jack...Is that better for you?

Fact is this:
There are some new players on the elite big 2 teams. These players came from those "non elite/non select" programs. Some players had to get moved from those big 2 rosters to make room.

You can either deal with that fact or deny it and continue jousting with windmills.

Mommy?

great come back - thank you for lightening the mood.

For those starting the $hit, cut it out. Do you really need to write that. Come on man!

every team has there issues, no one is immune.
