I think we have to face up to it. maybe the poster a few ago that said the good 19's are done and committed was right ( as nasty and doushy as he was..) the difficult thing is getting your daughter to think about plan B. how exactly do you have the conversation about changing the goal to D3?? I mean they are great schools- and super hard to get into without academic assistance right?? is that the tact to take on this?

It isn't a correct statement, in addition to being nasty and douchy. There are plenty of spots left in D1 for 2019s. Maybe not at the very top lax programs (although they will always take someone late if they find that undiscovered talent ... think Canada etc.) but at the mid tier and lower tier. Having said that, academics and school fit should be the answer to your question along with a realistic assessment of your daughter's lax ability. The reality is the top D3 programs (upper NESCAC, Gettysburg etc) could compete with about a third give or take of D1 schools. They would beat the bottom end of D1. So how good is your daughter? Has she gotten interest at the D1 level but no offers yet? Or has it basically been silence? Do you know girls who have committed to mid-tier D1 programs? Is your daughter a similar player or not? If her academics are strong, that will help at all of these places. All is not over for D1 for the 2019's, but it may be time to truly assess your daughter's goals and ability.

STEPS 19 BLUE Takes down Top Guns , Skywalkers, and Heros Green to win Lax for the Cure .... no excuses this time because all the MD and LI bigs dogs were there ...I guess those kids from NJ can play some ball...

YJ 2019 Carro killed Steps Blue during National Draw. Carro didn't play Steps this weekend.

yes except it was their tournament. And they got all the calls but whatever helps
You sleep

Haha the old .. they got the calls .... good one . In all 3 games ... What ever helps you sleep!

Hmm didn't YJ Carro lose to MD United today? Bahahaha! You never know !

No....Bahahahaha that was yesterday!

You mean the Dallas Cowboys of girls lax YJ Carro lost to MD United ? Lol

Steps goalie played extremely well in our playoff game

Change age group. Queen bee knows she has other age groups besides 18s. Photo on Twitter of dinner and finalist in championship and meanwhile 2nd and 3rd team of different age groups did o.k this weekend. Our team has been sending in Twitter photos and never a peep but dinner photos important.

Yeah that and they are some of the biggest hold backs anywhere in the sport. I saw one of their players drive up in a bid suburban and jog out to the field. I mean it's nothing different than they'll see in college with the upperclassmen but.. whatever works I guess ..

No surprise the YJ "blue" 2019 didn't do so well at LFC, as the players are overrated.
THe only real deal are their defenders and the twin sister. Duke got a great deal, and it will be the difference for Duke from 2019 through 2023.
The "assistant" coach of YJ 2019 "blue" protects his SMithtown girls and it's a total joke.

That team is not comprised of the best from LI ... it's a friends and family group of 631 players.

They are being exposed and the individual players will be exposed when they join their college teams.... they will all have problems fighting for a spot on their respective teams.

The only ones worth their salt are the defender from ESM and the twins from garden city / SHA. They are great athletes, awesome lax players and, above all else great teammates. You can take all the rest, they would do best at a school like Hofstra. Just an opinion based on ability and not how many
Points a player gets.

Sports recruits question - does anyone know if coaches can see when other coaches view profile/video ? Thanks

And yes, Heros has some strange parents.

Have you watched the B team play? That D is like a intramural team. No commits!

thats a great question as my daughter verbally commited but thinks maybe wasn't right choice and would like to email other coaches

Enjoyed lax
For the cure tournament this wknd. Great cause with some great lax

I think 'unique' is a better word to describe some of them. But, overall, really not too different from the rest out there.
I guess it goes with the turf - they are down in Maryland, right next to DC.

Anyone looking for a good Monday morning chuckle?

The [lacrosse]-istant coach from Smithtown is the worst kind of person there is . Any team he becomes involved with is an instant disaster , just ask the folks over in Smithtown . I believe he has been called the human bidet by those that know him and it seems CR needs a lot of cleaning . Amazing he gets away w a lot of the nonsense including the YJ practices at his little park that is supposed to be for use if smithtown residents only .

Cmon not true. The UNC commit might be the best player in the country. That is why she is going to UNC on a full ride

Full ride ? I challenge! With only 12 scholarships to divide up I doubt they placed that big a bet . Great shooter and feeder but speed could be an issue at the next level.

another moron with the full ride stuff?

Best in country, not even best on her team

They should try that crap on the 2024 forum. Those parents will believe him.

Cmon people, you took the bait way too easy.

Oh and BTW didn't all the NJ High school teams beat every LI Team in "Brains for Games" ? ah yes they did including a win over Garden City!

Do it year in and year out, and maybe you'll get some respect...one hit wonders dont count...you"ll be back to being a doormat next year like always. Thank You

4 Teams 4 Wins and you call it a 1 hit wonder? hey "sausageboy" better get Sally to the wall looks like the "meatballs" from Li aren't as good as they think.

Moorestown deserved that win. But it looks like the may have peaked at the wrong time. As far as GC goes, a loss during the season can be a good thing. Especially a non-league loss. It reminds the team that they have to work hard and wins aren't guaranteed. Garden City finished the season winning states. It doesn't get better than that.

Not sure which "D" you saw play that is on the 'B' team - but you are hugely mistaken. Commits across the board for that Mitchell team - Stony Brook, Syracuse, Hofstra, Brown, Binghamton, Florida, Marist, etc etc etc..... And they are very very good. Beat MD Black, continue to win games and the D keeps the goals against very low.

Lonigro is the best coach for the 19s. Not even close

Agreed on the Moorestown win... And I'm not a YJ fan but Mitchell is a good team...

So best club programs now that season over:

In no order--YJ, TP, M&D, Skywalker, TLC, Capital, MD United, Steps.....

All played each tough and traded wins and losses ...probably could add a few others in there

Who cares, all about recruiting now...

toilet paper?
