IDK who would win that round robin, nor do you, it hasn't happened. What high level tournaments are you talking about? Have the Terps played in a Spring/Summer tourny yet? Do you even know who is on the Terps team? You are very chatty for someone who doesn't know if their kid has even made the "New" Terp AA team. Why cant you just leave it that there are some VERY talented 2017 players on LI?

Okay- innocent questions here... so some teams have been ranked. I assume all the teams ranked for this year are the A teams for each club. I noticed that no one put any B teams- except maybe the terps- next in line to the Turtles? Anyway- so is it always better to go to a club that accepted you as an A player- even if you feel the club is not as strong, as oppossed to a B team of a stronger club. Thoughts? I have a few sons and one is not an A player- so landing on a B team is just fine with us- it suits him, his level, his development and happiness. I have other sons that are considered A level players- and play as such- but are marginally younger. Just wondering if you would accept a B team over an A team of a club that you are not as familiar with or is a lesser power house in the lax worls at the moment.

Are you stupid did not mention express B team in top 10 . Let me put it so simple terms, you are talking Cindy Crawford vs Rosie ODonnel.

I would take the strong B team over a weak A team. The coaching will be better.

I think it totally depends upon your son, his development needs, your finances and location. My son went with a lesser known team this year though he made a couple of more well known 'A' teams because it is a little cheaper, location of practices is closer, and we felt the coaching is better. We expect him to learn more from this team than he could from any of the A teams he made. The coaching is just that much better and we believe good instruction/coaching is more important than being on an A team. The trade off is that he probably won't play some of the better teams and wont be going to the better tournaments. There's still time, he's only in 8th grade. IMHO Which of the LI teams will be playing in the OBLL?

Actually, the question was from a completely innocent point of view. I have no data to make an informed opinion or answer, that is why it was asked. So, hypothetically; who do you think would win that three way based on whatever information or experience you may have with these teams?

As far as the tournament question aspect, I was referring to past history of teams entering them. I think Terps and 91 enter pretty high level tournaments but am not aware of TB touney history.
And finally, I totally agree: there are many very talented players on LI and I hope there always will be.

A completely innocent point of view? OK...No one would have that "data" or "informed opinion".(although some on here speak as they do) Apparently, these boys are all getting better, bigger, stronger & faster..."Any Given Sunday"

As for the tournaments that they have entered, 91 & TB have been in some of the same & some different, Terps have only played fall tournaments.

Asking which team would win or rank the 2017 teams is ridiculous. It has proven to bring out the worst in some adults.

MY "predictable negativity & Pessimism", that is rich!!

Parents entertaining themselves by ranking 13 year old boys lacrosse teams based on their "upbiased" opinions is what? Optimistic? Productive? Come on, it's impossible to do until these teams actually face eachother.

BTW..."Any one of you guys call me Franicis and..."

most 8 th grade teams doing kings point league... it's a better run league (schedule wise) and better competition ..
you , will see few teams from new jersey , connecticut and weschester travel teams . also, will hve some maryland teams travel up for 1 weekend .

From their websites Team 91 is going to OBLL and fl$ is going to Kings point. Don't know any others.

Have any 2017 kids heard yet about being invited to Jake Reed this summer after the 3D Blue Chip camps? I know 3D said invites will be emailed out by March 1st at the latest, just wasn't sure if anyone has received invites yet.

It's not March 1st yet.....

Outlaws Black 2017 is doing Kings Point (Merchant Marine Academy) League.

Guess you cant wait to part with your money so your 8th grader can get "a look" from nobody..!!!

Keep your head in the sand.

There are more than 100 sophomores who have verbally committed to Division I Schools. These are just the ones that are confirmed, I'm sure there are more.

Where and when do you think the College Coaches watched these boys play??

Apparently it was not during their Junior Year of “High School Ball”.
