Great point, thought our academies were all about integrity and honor. Guess not!

How about not listening to some f'in idiot on a message board that has no idea what he is talking about on the subject of holdbacks and the psychological impact on the kids.

Would that psychological impact be "a false sense of security"? And the non ability to compete against kids of the same age?

Are you serious? You are aware who the Commander in Chief is right? Do we really need to go any further?

You must be proud of your son and yourself-you exemplify so much with what is wrong with this sport and our nation. Pathetic.

Are you guys just assuming this kid is older because he is on crabs?

He is!

Poster is admitting to a lack of morals and integrity by suggesting our president lacks it? Very very sad! How about stop cheating to gain an unethical advantage. Then maybe you would be worthy to serve our country!

found a nice way to save money, I would like to share. don't pay for speed and agility training, get your kids outside to shovel snow. when the snow is gone, get them outside to play. Save myself the money for someone to make my kid exercise. Professor Mac here with more tips to come.

We're on the same page knuckle head. Honor and Integrity should come from the top, clearly it doesn't at the moment. Why would you expect it from Academies he oversee. They have become places for social engineering experiments. Have you seen who runs West Point? Get it now?

BG Holland is a 1990 graduate of USMA. She is a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan. I would say that she is more than qualified to be the Commandant of West Point. Where have you deployed? It should be more than two times for your criticism to have any validity.

The answer is zero deployments. BTW the Med cruise in 84 doesn't count.

And so it goes, social engineering comes full circle. Surely affirmative action played no role in her appointment to West Point as a student. Like BO's entrance to Harvard. Surely, affirmative action played no role in her advancement in the military and played no role in her appointment to run West Point. Last I checked, the Constitution protects my right to criticize anything and everything. Further, my father spent 4 years in Europe during WWII, he survived crossing the Atlantic, D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge. The country he fought for, and the rights you enjoy, by his own words, exists today in name only. Surely, the likes of BG saw plenty of live action. Further, the Marine Commander is on record as saying, "women in live battle situations are a detriment to the lives of the others around them". Further, they would be subject to unspeakable acts of savagery should they be captured. The PC culture has no place in our military, for that matter in our country. The current Commander in Chief is derelict in his duty, the people he surrounds himself with are of the same ilk. Your friend BG has no place running West Point. Now, as stated above, it comes as no surprise that the recruiting tactics used by the Coaches of our service academies lack in honor and integrity.

God bless your father's service. I say again.....what have you done???? Criticizing others is easy......Ranting on an internet board is easy.......Talking smack about what you know nothing about is easy......Show your wife and your daughter your post and see what they think. Over.......

Yeah I see West Point committed a 2019. I can't believe it. Very surprised at this. Didn't think they would stoop this low with early recruiting.

Crush with 3 standouts at NLF according to recruiting rundown. Proving how balanced they are. As the 3 players that were standouts were not the "big 3"

You may not like him, but what do honor and integrity have to do with it? No scandals in thei administration.

Starting a war to protect us from WMDs that did not exist? Republicans, there's integrity for you.

Wow you are a piece of work standing on a pedestal slinging insults at the military when you have never seen any action yourself. You also sound slightly angry about a woman in her role- loser on both counts.

Your father has a right to speak. You, coward, have none. As the daughter of an Army Sgt. Major and the mother of a son that is active and currently deployed on a Navy submarine, I am disgusted by your asinine statements. Each and every one of them are ridiculous and due to the fact that you have no freaking clue what you are talking about, please shut your lame mouth. You are a disgrace to your fathers service. Women will now serve proudly in the Silent Service as well, FYI. I bet you don't even know what that means.

Sir,

You are the prime example of "WHITE MALE PRIVILEDGE". God I hope you are not a parent of a child on my son's team...

Best of luck to your son. I feel sorry for your wife.

A kid who is not playing by the rules, reclassing for an advantage, should not be representing our country at a military Acadamy. This is wrong. A part of the problem in this country. Lack of morals, character and ethics. Don't even try to defend yourself. Those playing by the rules know it's true! Very sad!

I don't know who you think their "big 3" are, but I have see Crush play and the attack player and middies that were mentioned are clearly 2 of their top players.

Women shouldn't be in the military nor should they be in law enforcement.

Is this info posted anywhere?

You people are so stupid even classifying lax with a decision to go to an acedemy. Forget about lax...or age or anything else. This kid is going to work and protect our country.

Not one person on any of these post, in any year as they are anonymous (including me) have the balls even to sign up for this....think before you write about life and death...vs lax.

True idiots...get a life ...or sign up for what he did.

They should abort idiots such as yourself that is certain. I mean without them where would pigs like YOU be, hmmmmm? I bet you beat yours regularly, right Prince Charrming?

anyone here about that new kid from express (leghart) that joined true blue white after being cut.... heard he was one of the best on legharts team

Only one game was watched,the championship , some other kids, not just crush players preformed better than those mentioned. We are talking about a ty Xander write up, so don't get to excited!

Crush with 3 standouts at NLF according to recruiting rundown. Proving how balanced they are. As the 3 players that were standouts were not the "big 3"

I don't know who you think their "big 3" are, but I have see Crush play and the attack player and middies that were mentioned are clearly 2 of their top players.

NO MIDDIES WERE MENTIONED FROM CRUSH--11 middies per team---playing time was tough to come by

Other than Oneil there weren't many standouts. Terrible lacrosse, 11 mids on many teams, made playing time a joke. Most kids don't now how to play in a system and it showed.

And the two Crabs mentioned are both private school holdbacks coupled with a pre first year - no surprise there. Congratulations to their parents who are now King of the Water Cooler conversations at work. Most 6'1" 180 pound "8th graders" would stand out. Sorry for their true 2020 team mates who got passed over.

This young man will be defending our country some day! Stop being bitter, you should be thanking him and his parents. Seriously, stop being so bitter.

XA is a mid

Former Sergeant in the Marines here and I'm happy we've on boarded women in all capacities. It was silly that we hadn't done it already. However, the standards, all of them, must be consistent for both sexes. If you lower the standards for women it will prevent them from getting the respect they deserve and hinder our combat effectiveness, neither being acceptable. And if the women are smart, they'll hold themselves to an even higher standard. Lead from the front!

Oh yeah, since we're on a lax forum, girls can play boys lax too :p

You obviously have don't know anything about Crush or who the purported Big 3 are Oneil the lefty attack kid was in my opinion the best 2020 there.

Very good points!!

Thank you for your service!

Who plays one handed

NLF Futures was my first exposure to showcase games. Thought very well organized, but comment above regarding middies was spot on.

If FoGo's stay on and LSM's go on early offense (which I like, but not in showcases) and many early shots taken, just the function of math means there are very few minutes to be shared by normal middies.

My one critical comment for the event was that the coaches needed to manage middie PT better. I have no problem with a stud being played more at the end of the game, but that wasn't the problem - non-management was.

Do you mean he favors his strong hand? Kinda like the way the Canadians do? And they seem to be more effective, which is why most good coaches are not spending much time on off-hand anymore. This is probably a topic for another thread, but you can't knock a kid if he plays that way anymore. It's part of the evolutionary process of American lacrosse.
