If that kid doesn't play on the Varsity the whole coaching staff should be slapped and then fired!

If that's the case he should concentrate on football now. Let me repeat parents: there is no future financially playing lacrosse!

Just remember that a majority of the points were put up against the weaker teams they played..Yes he is good but please don't make him out to be the king of lacrosse . No kid should carry that burden. If he plays Varsity he will crush it against the weaker teams and pay a price against the better ones.. You make it like he carries his travel team. He helps them but isn't the only player.

Make no mistake, THIS 9th grader can play with any varsity team. He already has the skill set and size to compete at the varsity level. That is not going to change. The better question is what is his upside for college. His speed will have to improve and he will have to continue to grow for him to be dominant. You are right about one thing, he is a kid and no one needs to put expectations on him because he was better than everyone else at an early age. Hopefully he continues to work hard and achieve his goals. God bless him! I hope he does. He is off to a great start!

Why does he have to grow? He is already as tall or taller than most college attackmen

he's bigger than most of the defensemen he plays against as well-now-as a Freshman.I am not from Bay Shore, 89+2, or Saint Guido but have a '20 and have seen him through the years... no homerism here, just stating the facts to some uninformed moron posting on here

Wow, this is a lot of banter on who is probably one of the top Attackmen LI will see play the game of Lacrosse. You say he is not big enough you say he is not fast enough, you say he only dominates against his peers, I guess you havent been watching.

Kid has always played up, I found it surprising he didnt play in 7th grade. But kudos on the parents for not pushing that. Again those that dont know will say i am pushing it but those that know him know he always played up when he could.

Please before anyone comments, have you watch him play? When, recently? If not recently you're in for a treat you will enjoy it, bring the young ones they can learn. You will find yourself saying "how in the heck did he do that". If you cant watch him ask those that play with/against him.

Yes teams will key on him and he will get the brunt of the physicality, but again have you seen him, he is bigger than most men and is still 14. You say he isnt bigger than most D1 poles. I'd say define most, is that closer to 51% or 99%? If 50% is half, most is surely larger than that and i dont think 70% of D1 poles are larger than he is (and he is 14 and growing)?

Yes he played on a great youth travel team. A team that many have a love hate relationship with, (i get it) but dont judge him on that, because you think is was just a youth team. What that team did and what it allowed him to do was great. That cast of characters helped hone one of his best attributes. He was afforded the opportunity to not have to be the go to player and learned that it was a team game. He plays with the utmost lax IQ and is as impressive of a distributor as he is scorer.

So go ahead key on him, but it is a team sport and he plays an amazing team game. Whether on the ride, a Pick, a Decoy or a points maker!

By the way, ever see the kid face off?

I know i probably put a bigger target on his back by this, and I am sorry, but wasnt there a big one there already. I am just sick of people saying he isnt this or he isnt that. Just sit back and enjoy, lets see what he can do.

Good luck to you Kid. (although i hope you never read this)

He is, but he isn't bigger than Most D 1 defensemen. Therefore he still needs to grow to be as physically dominant as he is against his peers now. Bottom line is he was an early puberty kid, sometimes they don't develop as much as you think as they go up levels. I am not uninformed and I think the kid is a fantastic player.

You say he hit puberty early?! That isn't puberty but genetics. People always seem to get those two confused. He was always bigger than most of his peers, puberty had nothing to do with that.

Ever see his face without his helmet on? That is not the face of a pubescent man-child. Just the opposite. Kid works tirelessly to get the body and results he gets, hard work and genetics. Just wait for that magical puberty piece to kick in.

The average D1 defenseman / LSM is just over 6' and 191 lbs.

Are you serious? That's the average middie in D3

I was bored... Stony Brook D and LSM - average 6'1 189.5 lbs. If you take away the LSM's the average drops.

I would say 6'1" 190 is pretty close to the average across D1.

Pls get a life

All you dads should relax, its a freakin game. Nobody cares how many goals your kid scores or what he weighs. Tell me what his teachers names are and what he got on his last math test and then I will be impressed. Put the beer down, quit thumping your chest and help him pick a school and a major that will set him up for the rest of his life.

So you reason to be reading and posting is?

Better start getting on back of the chalkboard.

I wonder when lacrosse goes the next step. h.s. hoops now has "schools" exclusively for blue chip players. Set up in obscure places such as Maine or wherever and they have only a small population of students...all basketball kids.

IMG in Florida, sports academy that costs $$. But your kid can get $6,000 to play D-1. Craziness!!
