What’s the deal with Dukes 2023 team? There’s a tryout in Philly coming up. Should We tryout? You would only be trying out to hopefully get above the travel line and get invited to the summer tournaments. This team is done in July and I think the May mini camp is the last one.

The 2023 National Team has been in a slow decline over the past several years; G's message and empty promises have grown stale. The talent level on this team with the exception of the goalie and a couple of attackmen is average at best. They will continue to struggle this summer unless G starts bringing in some guest players and schedule more weak competition.

The 2024 bracket was weak, as well but at least they made a showing there.

Almost all of the players/parents who were on the team that was very good have moved on. G's greed and arrogance pushed everyone away. It's an absolute shame because that roster had potential to be very, very good as they developed more.

Have to admit the 2023 true National team was legit. I stayed to watch this team play the Edge team in the champsiinshop The true team was exceptional. One of the best teams out there for sure.

That true team was pretty good.... not great... but there was a time that it wouldnt have mattered. Duke's has clearly been on the decline for at least a year now.

The 2024 bracket was weak, as well but at least they made a showing there. 2024 bracket wasn’t deep but the top teams were good. Georgia Elite had a number of Wolfpack 91 and Fl 91 kids on it. Express North was World Series team plus 3 holdbacks that can’t play on WS team. One More was the best BBL kids that beat Dukes at Naptown. This was a good showing this year! Much better than Foxboro!

Stayed to watch the True v Edge match, very good talent............... as a midwest spectator, always wondering how many of those 2023 players are born after September 2005. Seems like a lot of "east coast" 8th graders are shaving these days. Maybe its the Old Bay or a salty air????

Dukes and True aren’t teams. They are handpicked players developed elsewhere by real coaches, then put on display at events to line the pockets of true and dukes owners. Has ANYONE EVER seen a dukes mainline team perform in a high bracket?? Never and why? They do t know how to develop players. They simply steal your player and make an all star team. Their tryouts are literally the night before each event and beside the kids they take and the few who follow every month, phone calls are made for dominators. And as for the ages of their players, is it a total coincidence that dukes and true had kids larger than 90% of the adult crowd on the sidelines watching their fully grown 15 and 16 year old 7 and 8 graders. Why do they only take the biggest and oldest kids? To win and take your money

Should have read after SEPTEMBER 2004 - Unfortunately, outside of the WSYL, it doesn't matter...despite their age, they are 8th graders. Not defending the practice, but it is the lacrosse world that we live in. But make no mistake, this in not just an East coast phenomenon, things are equally as bad out West.

No comments about Duke's Nationals dominating Lehigh Laxfest this weekend? Who did they beat? At 2023, the super team of Duke's Nationals were able to work hard and beat Duke's Young Guns in the championship. Pretty indicative of just what quality teams were in this tournament.

The big 4 Tournament had a strong lineup of evenly matched teams. The championship bracket was all one goal games except maybe one game. Players grow by playing tight games v evenly matched teams.

OK, I've had my coffee now......how did Duke's Nationals do this weekend? They showed that the model will struggle when: a: The play teams of comparable size/skill that practice on a regular basis. b: They play the same weekend as other events like Crab Feast when players stay with the regular team. c: They play teams with more talent. They faced a,b,c this weekend
