Re: Boys 2026 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region Anonymous #392700 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A And let me temper your expectations too. There are very few college coaches watching recruiting (national) tournaments for rising sophomores. A handful. But not many. If we go to tournaments it’s likely to see rising JRs we have already heard from. Like Reply Quote

Re: Boys 2026 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region TheBackOfTheCage #393467 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Rosters should be set now, so who got better? I hear there is a good bit movement across the DMV teams - Some MadLax starters going to DCE and NL. A DCE starter headed to MadLax. And some movement across the non starters. Looks like FCA is now the best of FCA and Looneys. Who else lost and gained? Like Reply Quote

When take ‘em to is lacking and the kids can’t find a home, these parents intercede and make deals. Inevitably these kids get swallowed up when they play against higher level competition.
