Defensive much?

The question was, "What is the best combination of super high academics and at least a shot at a final four type D1 team?".

Princeton made it to the final 8 teams in 2015. Their strength of schedule has been top 10 in each of the past three years and they have knocked off such teams as Penn State, Virginia and Southern Cal they also had a very respectable 1 goal loss to a Maryland squad which won the National Championship. The Tigers continue to bring in strong recruiting classes and no doubt have a chance to make it back to the final four.

Stanford has finished the season with very respectable records (14-5, 15-3, 15-5) over the past three seasons. During that same time The Cardinal have wins Vs Ohio State, Notre Dame, Johns Hopkins, Penn State and Southern Cal. Stanford most certainly is a super high academic school that also has a very competitive lacrosse team.

Johns Hopkins has also shown that they can compete. Since 2014 Hopkins has beaten Northwestern, Duke, Penn State, Virginia, Stony Brook (a BOC favorite), Boston College and Ohio State. They also played Florida to 1 goal and Maryland to 2 goals respectfully. (Come to think of it, Princeton also beat a highly touted Stony Brook team that many on this site had going to the Final Four). With Hopkins now in the Big Ten their SOS will improve and I believe they will become even more competitive.

You're obviously clueless, for a kid fairly new to the sport I'm impressed as my daughter has been playing since 1st grade. I guess you have never seen that girl, and I am guessing you were not at YJ tryouts to see the job she did on those girls on both A and B. Did any non YJ players crack the A team?

The best player is the Virginia recruit from Mattituck, and please stop with the other kids around make that team better. After those 3 and Mt. Sinai player everybody else is a step down. That is a fact!

She is not the best player im sorry, everyone will catch up to her once they grow. best player is the BC girl.

# 1 is Wave
# 2 is fl$
# 3 is 91
#4 Team Elevate

USL sanctioned tournament = kids have to play with their correct age group. Can't play down must play on age. Correct age kids played with their respective age groups true 2020's played with 2020's etc. No way around it or no way to hide it when it comes to official USL tournaments.

i am assuming the above list is a joke and thatthe TG, YJ and liberty list is more accurate. i mean fl$ and 91 are boys clubs and the 2020 elevate team has some of the worst coaching out there. this made me chuckle. no doubt yj, tg anx liberty are the top 3 on the island.

BC doesn't like contact and the college game is twice as physical as anything seen in HS or the summer circuit. Sorry dad, but not even a close comparison

Such a dumb point... This girl is the best, not even a parent, not even from long island, in my opinion she is the best.

I think your points are all valid. I just don't think any of those 3 teams will be getting to the final 4 any time soon. In fact, I think Stanford and Princeton are taking steps backwards going forward. Looking at their recruiting classes, I would say they will maintain in the 10-20 range, not be heading into top 4 territory. JH moving to Big Ten may change things for them, you're right. Lets see how that goes. In the meantime, I think the two teams w the best combination of very challenging academics and realistic final 4 chances are Duke and NU.

I am sure the above list was a joke. YJ is still probably the best team I would take liberty over TG ESPECIALLY when it comes to coaching. I think overall Liberty has amazing coaching and I think the liberty 2019 is a great example of what good coaching can do.

6 commits, heroes with 2, and tlc with none

Nice try. Wish the coach would call isolation plays but that never happens. The team would be better if that was the case. There are two ends of the field and some players impact the game in more ways then others. If you would watch all aspects of the game you may see things differently.

heros has 4 a few more to commit soon

When do the B team start verbaling? Half of the A team in already is quicker than any other YJ year. For many they haven't played their first varsity game yet

florida rounds out the (4) so far

BC commits another girl from M&D.... that makes 5 in the class, is this the most for any school?

If my kid made it to any of those schools mentioned above, which both of my kids did, varsity sports was NOT an option.

Great academic schools like those mentioned which a child can gain admission to should be maxed out for their career course study and networking with alum.

You mean they got their w lacrosse and then quit the team? Or they were not lacrosse players?

BC is expanding their roster size so taking some chances on aggressive early recruiting seems to be there thing

[quote=Anonymous]Does Leg have their first commit yet in their programs history? If not looks like they are falling behind the top programs.

None yet. Maybe leaving YJ wasn't such a good idea.
