Any "B" student won't succeed in engineering from any school.

College lax is a sharp 2 edged sword.....

We have given up too, so we are focusing on her going to cage. I like sports more than school anyway

What happened to this thread? Did everybody get exhausted from all the BS?

Maybe there is a civilized group of parents in this age group who have nothing to complain about or prefer not to come on here and bash about their kids own teammates and friends. Don't take the bait 2020's. NOT being a thread on here speaks louder than anything!

the torched was passed to the 2021 group, they might just be more insane the 2020's, but those are big shoes to fill

Because the crazy parents got their kids to verbal before the deadline and everybody else is just enjoying the ride. Once the me firsters got theirs they calmed down.

Didn't a 2020 commit to Florida yesterday? How did that happen?

Why did Elevate 2020 send their A team to play B level competition at the New England Cup? Seriously, there were multiple D1 commits on that squad playing against girls who at best, ride the bench for the high school squad (at worse, start for the freshman or JV squad). They beat each of these B level teams by at least 16 goals. Pathetic effort to procure more highlight film for college recruiters.

That seems like a pretty established methodology for getting the D1 offers. Maybe Elevate has something going there. Why go to Maryland or Pennsylvania and get your butts beat on by the Maryland teams and chances are never get the ball to the attack end. That's probably how they have multiple D1 commits. Sounds like a good sound strategy.

Everybody plays down even the mighty YJ's but it usually happens more when they are younger

We watched Team Elevate demolish 2 teams. No way were they in their correct division. that's ridiculous. The coaches must know what they are watching!

Hey, at the end of the day did we get the t-shirt and a picture DK could put on Social Media to post as tourney champs? You bet! You sound a little jealous?

You think that is a good strategy for recruiting? Hmmmmm. Elevate has 2 2020 recruits and YJ has 21 2020 recruits. Think about which strategy is working better!

You guys with your commits are insane. Just play the game. Keep reinforcing the fact that travel lax parents are the most self centered D-bags in the universe. Its girls lax. Except for a handful of players there is nobody that is lights out and that's why there are only really 10 good college teams. If your kid wants to play, they will be able to play. Don't believe the hype and the need to pad everyone's pockets

That confused me too...Elevate has multiple commits-- D1 commits too?....
is that true?

Regardless of the game's score or what level the competition was. Did anybody actually see the school coaches that were watching Team Elevate play??
Well I did, and it was Cornell, Dartmouth, Binghamton, Colorado and a few others. Who cares what level the tourney was and if they beat a YJ, Heroes or whomever!
Those are the schools you want watching you...not Maryland or UNC.

I agree with your overall point, but on what basis for Binghamton and Colorado over UNC? Better lacrosse and academics at UNC than both of those school.

They are Baaaaaaaaaaaack!

Maryland has better lacrosse and academics than either of those schools also . It's not even close . They have no idea what they are talking about.

Elevate has 2 D1 commits - that's all. I wouldn't consider that a powerhouse. That club has been free falling for the last few years. They owner knows the club has dropped at all age levels and therefore doesn't put them up against decent competitiom at most levels.

The people that talk the most smack are the people with the over inflated me first egos that got their 8th grader to verbal or the people at the end of the bench. For us in the middle we don't give a rats [lacrosse] about either of you and just want to play lacrosse with people we like

I actually meant to write Columbia but Colorado was there as well.
Bottom line was that winning lacrosse was secondary to those parents as long as those colleges were watching.

That can' be true unless maybe it was accepted a long time ago and not announced. And that leads me to the question if it's just a verbal how do we know when it's agreed upon anyway? I mean if a 2020 walked into a camp and a coach made a deal last weekend but said they agreed back in February but never "announced" it who would know? Do they keep logs for "verbals." I see the lacrosserecruits website and I know of 20 girls that have committed that aren't on the web page so who really knows who's keeping tabs? I'm curious

Not even close clearly you have not spent anytime with YJ Curcio ! Buy your way onto the team of 26 players roster is as big the Syracuse roster LOL

Ok on Cornell and Dartmouth, but it was downhill after that.

Colorado has an 84.2% acceptance rate.

Colorado start admitting with 1000 SAT. In todays day in age that below average at best and why 82% of anyone that applies gets accepted.

Nice school, nice lacrosse, average academics.
Its essentially SUNY Albany of the west

Post is dead on a lot of unhappy campers on Team Curcio, everything you don't want to teach children/young adults going on here.

Does that imply Jones is better?

My child is happy and so am I with Jones

Jones team is not even close

It implies you should take this annoying discussion to the YJ forum where EVERYONE cares about the initials of YJ staff.

Lets stay on the yJ's just to [lacrosse] you off. How do the roster changes to Curcio and Jones look to be shaking out? Were the right decisions made or was it more political BS?

Thanks CSH

Big envelope

Can't have your 2 biggest stars on middie playing less than the other kids323

well daddy coach got his daughter back on curcio, and you had 2 girls who left 2 years ago come back without even trying out.. i would say politics and f&f played heavy in this..

not with one girl never coming off the field who thinks she is a middie... its a complete joke

Curcio had a big 1st tournament. Jones lost to a philly team
At national Draw Curcio undefeated again and Jones had a loss
Both played a few terrible teams winning by 15-20 what's the point of the travel if you are going to play PAL teams?

So to the question, It looks like the rosters moves were good for Curcio because they haven't lost

you have to be kidding me.. Curcio at both tournaments played nobody. Heroes Green is a shell of itself. Lets see how they do this week at lax for cure vs M&D Black. That will be the ultimate test. Even if there was no moves, Curcio still would have won all their games so far. Jones however has a few ball hogs and one girl who does not come off the field.. if that does not get addressed they will not have success against good teams.

That team is a joke. Adding those new kids along with the kids that left back on the team makes the team weaker not stronger. Not saying those kids are not good players but essentially you are adding players on the back half of the team and now have way too many kids playing. I have heard that one of their players is looking to defect and I know our coach thinks the kid is an excellent player so hopefully she jumps ship as we lost one of our better layers to injury.
