BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2024-10th Grade Fall 2021/Summer 2022

They had a good list of coaches this year. Some of the schools I saw were not B & C level. To name a few. Bucknell, Cornell, Dartmouth, Yale., Michigan Brown.

Yeah, exactly. Who cares where a coach sees your son. You are more likely to be seen here vs other spots. Point again, it doesn’t matter other than an opportunity was lost by some that don’t understand. They’ll be a lot of coaches at Laxfest this weekend as well. Walked right by John Danowski last year. And Laxfest is attended by so called lower teams. But again, does that matter, no!! I would argue if a top 2024 team attended Laxfest a lot of coaches would watch.

JR OPEN great event, talent everywhere and I love how they posted the DOB'S. Tons of 2004 and early 2005.

Where can you see the DOBS?

Sent out to Parents copy PDF of the team roster,

Oldest March 2004 , Youngest July 2006,

My son felt Juniors Open was similar to the Show in early June. Too many events same weekend so some couldn't attend but still very solid.

March 2004?!??!?!?! Im actually ok with holdbacks once in HS, in particular for showcases, but how is an 18 year old a rising Junior? Was he any good? from Maryland or Mass?

Pick a School: ANC Academy PA, Taft, Culver, Lawrenceville, Haverford, and Deerfield.. There all older

There were probably more 04 birthdays than 06. Almost all of the 06s were Long Island kids as you would expect.

2004 birthday for a 2024 is just absurd!!!

What are the best showcases left for the summer?

Best in Class, Main Stage.

Top One Percent too

Would say no to one percent. People that have done it typically don’t do it again. Selfish lacrosse vs the better showcases and they historically have no coaches there. This year it falls during Naptown so not many of the better players will be there. NLF 120 this wk which is legit and day before crabfeast. Five star has potential but during Zummo tourney on LI. Best in class is great. Apex 60 typically gets many coaches. Mix of some good and better players but no conflicts. It’s the 2 days before NAL end of July so coaches will stop by since very close.

It's how the Uber Rich will try to beat the system.

Iron 44 Combine has a lot of college coaches going. Stagnittas thing is okay but its only a few colleges, NJ and Michigan etc.

Looking forward to fall What are the top showcases? Apex, NXT, One Percent? Seem like a lot less than summer.

The top ones are the ones that you need your son’s club to get you in.

What a weekend for the 24’s from LI.

Wolfpack going undefeated with a Championship at Crabfeast and Legacy Taz winning Two championships in 5 days at Sweetlax and then Naptown. Congrats to both squads!

Is 5-Star any good?

It’s July and Academies get a two month.. And so it begins for this class.

PT Summer Invitational- Wolfpack
CrabFeast- Wolfpack
Sweetlax- Taz
Naptown- Taz
LI Summer Showdown?
NLF?
NAL?

Have they ever played each other, will they ever play each other, who would win?

LOVE the 2023 Chaminade kid that plays on Wolfpack. Rules are for losers. Win at all costs. If my kid was bumped down the roster for that kid.....
and while we are on it....with happened to Express

And don't forget Express lol

Express plays Equal Time for all 30+ on the roster. Coach only cares about lining his pockets..

Or since this a major summer for this crew, maybe more concerned about getting kids looks. Hard to get recruited from the sideline.

Played each other in 2019 WSYL Championship game, Pack dominated 15-4. Would that be the same result today? Who knows...

What good does showing a teams 2nd group vs everyone 1st team? Express isn’t that strong.

Taz beat 91 Wolfpack 2020 in NJ tourney by a goal or two, it was a great game…

Ha, theyre not even the best Express program at this age.

WP and Taz reppin’ LI. Express played 30 kids last year too and had very strong results. Both Summer and Fall. From what is heard the issue are the coaches and lack of practices despite some selfish play. Literally 1-2 practices with 13-15 kids. No man up play. No offense. Flat. Nothing. Not doing LI summer showcase either. busy summer with kids doing other things but can’t abandon them and expect results. Will see if things turn around given it’s a big summer. Good luck to all 3 teams.

Express parent bought in to is now on them. Enjoy your 8 defensman, 14 middies, and 10 attack!

What attack?

Express lmfao

Not sure what happened to Express. They beat Eclipse and Taz in the fall with both teams being pretty much full strength… or at least Taz was. They had a great showing last summer and were just as good as Taz and Wp. Sounds like the train fell off the tracks.

Deep Pockets have turned coaching staff

Congratulations Hawks on winning NLF!

Different Team this passed weekend..

LOL..
