That's funny. Preseason 5th in the nation. Thanks for the your unqualified analysis. The team will be fine.

[quote=Anonymous]Chaminade is set up for a slightly underachieving season by Chaminade Lax standards. They are talented, but they have their share of overrated players, graduated 3/4 D, and coaching is not on par with comp...

All the early developers and reclass kids peak while other kids are catching up and move past. That’s what happens to Chaminade.

Cham was #2 preseason last year... preason means nothing

The St. A sophs in college you mean

Garden City won't play/scrimmage them, has been that way for years.
And for good reason on both sides.
Good luck to both.

"True! Just wait till the St. A Sophs get there shot at them! Going to be a beat down!"

From a Nassau public and not a fan of St. A's where they pray in a 3-point stance in front of the lacrosse sticks cross, but their class of '20 is STACKED and will certainly be #1 on LI that year which usually puts you in the top 5 nationally...

Only potential derailment will be failing out, some sort of scandal or mass reclassing--all of which are in the realm of possibility, but not rooting for that to happen.

Not really... Chaminade has such deep talent pool that "early peakers" draw all the playing time Freshman and JV year from the future Varsity starters...

What, did you really just write that. You know you have some severe holdbacks also right.

And reading some talk about SA 2020. I think the best team the island has seen will be next years SA team, aided with many of the 2020's.

What about the 2021 that should be 2019, or the Texas holdback squater? Can’t make this stuff up!!

Meh on the TX kid - it's a private school, who cares where they come from!

Is it true the JV team pulled up 5 freshman? I thought Chaminade didn't do that. With 50 kids on the JV team, was this really necessary?

They brought up 2 Sophs to Varsity.

Any thoughts observations on the scrimmages today?

If you are referring to the JV scrimmage Chaminade won the first against Westfield 6-1 and was beating Syosset 8-1 at the half and it was 9-4 when I left in the middle of the second half...Westfield and Syosset tried at 3-3...

About the hold back situation- we'll see less
since early recruiting rule changes in Lax;

the hold back was designed to allow a blue chip 6'7" basketball player time to grow that last 3" , NOT the 5'10 180lb HS Fresh LAX player to dominate for 2 years, with the hopes of duping the College lax coach into early commit -

The last 2 years proved "hold backs", early lax commits players do not continue to develop into impact players in college.

Is that last statement fact based or your assumptions? How did the holdbacks do as compared to non holdbacks? Please show your data to prove what you are writing or at least state that this is your opinion and in no way can it be verified. Thanks
