[quote=Anonymous]Then why go by the Swarm name? Must be a related reason.

If you are going by a different name like Swarm to disguise who you actually are. Why are you still wearing YJ pinnies and posting on instagram ?

Nope we didn't and YJ 2022 killed it!

its not a disguise, its about protecting the cash hidden in the hive from potential lawsuits.
All the players reguistered as individuals as opposed to the team registering. The YJ corp can disavow knowledge of any "team" traveling out of state to play in tournaments.

Wondering how many are following the rulesFor travelers who were out-of-state for less than 24 hours:

The traveler does not need a test prior to their departure from the other state, and does not need to quarantine upon arrival in New York State.
However, the traveler must fill out our traveler form upon entry into New York State, and take a COVID diagnostic test 4 days after their arrival in New York.

who cares the covid rules change every week randomly by stunad governors.

We did not.. both off to school and work today

lost by 6 to mass elite......

The days of worrying about the scores are over.. but congrats on the "big" win.
we have a small group of girls who have not made their verbal yet.. the team is all working on getting that done.

Not sure that strategy worked so well for you...

We all know what excuses are like...

When is the last time you saw the 2022 YJ teams or any 2022 team boasting about winning? the 2022 thread is dead.. those of us with a brain have moved on.

Yet again, CR impresses me with her business acumen. She completely dodged the liability bullet. My daughter hasn't been at YJ for years but she never ceases to impress me.

Please a half competent lawyer could get around that. It’s silly.

Maybe, but this move allowed the YJ to travel this fall. The Club stayed home this summer and made the best of it but it wasn’t the same as facing the Md & Va teams

Just like the sign on the back of the hotel door that say their not liable for you property or these waivers we sign to go to the tournaments that aren't worth the paper they are written on.

YJ Swarm Blue 23 #1 in country
YJ Spallina 25 #1 in country.
Not a bad fall for CR

In the fall with no draws I guess CR will take what she can get at this point.

YJ Spallina #1 is as undeniable as YJ Swarm Blue 23 is laughable. The laughing stock of the organization even with a few very recent wins.

Wrong- there were draws at Mid Atlantic. YJ Swarm (Thorn/Colbert) went Undeafeted in 2020 and after merger last fall. Now 13-0-2 with the two ties where Grizzlies and M&D scratches back to get the tie.
This 23 team is laughable in the sense that WE are laughing at all the other teams because...He who laughs last, laughs BEST. Here we are, approaching next Fall recruiting time and YJ is #1. No further discussion.

I can’t argue with that logic because they are FACTS.
TG is injured but still #2 on LI and top 5 overall.
Legacy 3 on Long Island and Top 10 overall.
Very impressive to have 3 teams in 23 in the top 10 in the country.

I AGREE 100% with this assessment. ALL the girls on these 3 teams will be able to play high level college lacrosse if they so choose.

Where is this top 10 List?

There are very good players being developed all over the country. Coaches don't look at the LI players so quickly anymore, unless you are a YJ. I am not putting down the other clubs, just saying that College coaches want to grow the game and are looking at midwest, TX, CA and will take those girls if equal to LI girls to do so. So you may be surprised that the offers aren't as you think they will be.

Completely not true. If your a great player from Long Island the chips will fall correctly 95 percent of the time. If your not a great player you won’t get recruited no matter where you live. But to say coaches are trying hard to not recruit from Long Island is just silly.

The statement about LI girls getting recruited if they are on YJ doesn't hold true to the 2022 age group. TG had a better recruiting class and YJ Blue still has players that haven't been recruited.

Who said coaches are trying hard not to recruit from Long Island? If you're a great player? Are all three teams filled with all great players? Read the thread again.

Are you serious. Their job depends on obtaining, teaching, coaching and most of all Winning. Do you think they are going to not take the best players. Geez.

It says if equal. Read again.

All things being equal, a coach will hide behind the fact that a recruit played for the YJ's but good players always seem to make it. heck even clubs like the Wave used to get their best girls recruited

When watching the YJ 2022 team didn’t realize the best player was from Minn.

Is she actually the best player or is it just a good story?

She's without a doubt the best athlete on the field. and probably in the entire 22 class. There may be a couple girls with slightly better stick skills, but here athleticsm really isn't matchable.

Also, she just recovered from an ACL injury in the fall season so she is still nowhere near 100%.

I dont like any kid getting singled out but when you put yourself out there as she is doing ( which she has the right to do) you can expect to ruffle some feathers.. but this is patently false "She's without a doubt the best athlete on the field. and probably in the entire 22 class. There may be a couple girls with slightly better stick skills, but here athleticsm really isn't matchable."

2022 team, another year when the entire YJ Blue team is recruited and even a good number of the 22 B team as well to high level academic and lacrosse schools. CR's girls get multiple options. those are the facts. This is the only team in the age group this year sending multiple players to each military academy, multiple to Yale, multiple to Duke and Stonybrook and North Carolina and Maryland. Entire team has already received multiple offers and been recruited because everyone played equally at tourneys and given great recruiting advice. TG usually gets half the roster recruited, you have to feel bad for families that spend their entire time and money summers for years to know they made a mistake staying and drinking the Kool aid. Next year you will see the same thing, just like you did last year, and the year before that and the year before that. how many times do you have to see the same story before you understand that colleges trust the YJ track record. that is why their girls gets recruited at higher rates. The girl from Minn is a nice kid and a good athlete.

Nice post...who wrote this Mom or Dad?

False statement the entire Blue team is not committed. Looks like Top Guns have multiple commits to Northwestern, commits to Hopkins, Dartmouth, Notre Dame, Richmond, Loyola I feel sorry for those Kool Aid drinking parents. Lol.

Yes, this is false! I personally know one player, a starter who is not committed, and very upset!
Please stop!

You want to see upset? Wait until its the 2023 dumpster fire recruiting year. Then you're going to see upset.

You mean the 2023 #1 ranked team in the USA? They will be just fine. Your jealousy at this stage-of-the-game is pathetic. What was just a phrase that you have used over& over is obviously a deflection & reflection of you-A personal “Dumpster Fire”. I bet as we take inventory of YOU-that what we’ll see 🔥

Read it again - does not say entire team is committed, says recruited and received multiple offers.
