Yeah, because they stink!

Really. I was interested to see that the NJ Riot Bantam box team beat the BBL 2023 Box.

You forgot to mention that Riot's Bantam team is a combo 22/23 team. BBL had a '22 and a '23 team entered. BBl's 22 team won the tournament. I guess you could say that the only way that Riot can beat BBL at anything is by playing older kids. Riot should stick to bragging on twitter about their schwag. That is the only thing they can brag about:)

Easy Riot dad. The only thing Riot can battle BBL in is schwag.

Not a Riot Dad. Sorry. If I was, I would be proud of my boy beating the BBL 2023 Squad.

You two seem to be getting pretty worked up over winter box, especially in light of the stupidity of the BBL poster's comments. And why just focus BBL, how about something more relevant, like how Riot has done against other teams playing box this winter, Riot has certainly played much better teams than BBL. Also, one box game is not indicative of the overall talent on a team, I have seen plenty of one-goal games between clearly mismatched teams. I am sure that both Riot and BBL have played close one-goal or shoot-out games against teams that they should have blown out, or should have blown them out.

Do Riot or BBL do anything in the Spring?

Agreed. Riot 2019 and Riot North 2019 were two very strong teams stacked with talent. I'm looking forward to seeing some of them play in college this year. I say this out of sheer appreciation for their talent. None of my kids played or play for Riot.

What high schools are most of the Riot players from?

How did the 2021 and 2022 teams do at the Elite Team tournament in Long Island last weekend?

Tourney machine has the scores.

Is this club still in existence?

defected to Riot or defected from Riot. If it is a team that defected to Riot what team. Cannot see any of the major players in the area, Steps, BBL North, BBL, Tri-State, Patriot or any some of the less well known clubs like Brotherhood. Patriot Stars or O2 going there. Maybe one of the newer programs like Lighting or Towermen would make sense going to Riot.

If a team moved to Riot, and considering the large amount of Riot kids that play for DB, I would guess that a group of parents might be trying to jump on the DB bandwagon

If a team wants to defect and join a club with DB ties or to jump on the DB bandwagon, wouldn't a move to O2 make sense. not much of a club at the younger levels but decent at the older ages and run by the DB head coach. I assume that club will get people trying to play there to impress (or not) the DB coaches.

O2 has not been a particularly strong club in general as far a field teams. As far as DB and Riot, Riot 2023 team has quite a few DB players, and they are pretty good when the DB kids are playing.

Are the DB kids now playing for Riot 2023 this summer? They struggled in the past few tourneys, so assuming they weren’t there. When they are fully loaded they are hard to beat.

Talk that a whole team just defected here.
