BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2025-10th Grade Fall 2022/Summer 2023

Express Davis leads the B pack. Rebels B, True Blue, etc all the same. The only real A teams are 91 and CoachC. People want to label them AA because the rest of the A teams don't really stack up. Rebels, S2S, Regulators, Legacy all can beat each other on any given day. None of them can beat 91 consistently.

This represents the B teams on LI based on the summer

1 - Express Davis
2 - ECE
3 - Hornets
4 - Turtles
5 - Icon
6 - True Blue
7 - S2S
8 - Rebels
9 - Empire
10 - United

Legacy White doesn’t really count since they have 8 B players and then have players from the A team fill in for tourneys

There is also Checkmate.

Sounds like the Igloo business model. Did they fold their B team, which was really their A team? Did they refund anyone's money since the B kids never played, asking for a friend

What remains of Igloo is a B team that pays A team $

Unfortunately it seems everyone pays A team money, regardless of the level. There are a few lower cost exceptions but they aren't very competitive. As for the Igloo debacle they didn't fold the B team, the team left. Sadly, very good people didn't get what they were promised and to my knowledge no apologies or refunds were offered. I am surprised more of these situations don't end up in small claims courts.

Does anybody know what happened to the 24 Lacrosse 2025 Team?

I think legacy east now.

Yeah Rebels East “absorbed them” and Legacy East hired their coaches….

Lol, they sent and email and said they are cxling the team. But their A team is decent.

I believe either the Rebels or Legacy took them over

Here is what 24 put out. But again, it is odd because Legacy almost around the same time announced the 24 coaching staff.

Right so what did rebels get out of this?

Who knows. How can the coaches go to one club and team to another? I would be asking a lot of questions.

I spoke to someone very close to the situation and apparently Legacy poached all the 24 Coaches in the middle of tryouts, offering those coaches more money leaving 24 with nothing. Sad thing is, parents are going to pay significantly more $$ for the exact same product in the coaches. No shock, db move by Legacy.

Pretty simple. The club was sold. The players had a.choice to go or look for another team. As for the coaches most of these clubs hire coaches with no contracts. It’s year to year. Most are paid in cash. They decided to go to a different club.

Sounds like a shrewd business move. I would never begrudge a business for doing everything they can to increase revenue and expand their business. This is for profit. I would be critical when a business fails to deliver.

So the real question here is where did all the legacy coaches go if they needed the 24 coaches sounds very strange to me “problems in legacy land?”

Legacy started an East division to help the 24 coaches who were left behind when the Rebels bought the group. Legacy was smart to grab Pete Mitchell and the rest of the staff as most of the kids are going to follow him to Legacy East. Nobody left the just got bigger and added more recruiting strength and provided a great spot for a lot of east end kids to play.

This is false.

Legacy hired the coaches from 24 first, then 24 was left not able to have teams.. they approached rebels who told them they would take over any remaining players. Those are the facts.

So essentially Rebels East got nothing? Because I don’t see families going anywhere but to Legacy

Ah…that makes sense. And again shrewd. Why purchase a club when you can hire the coaches and then naturally families will go the coach they know vs the unknown of Rebels East.

IMO-Odd move for Legacy because most of their regular teams already pull from east end. Seems like they are watering down their go to pool of applicants even more.
Are they competing against themselves now!?!
And on another note…it appears More and more people people are going to the new programs that are delivering and passing the old dogs.

So then nobody actually purchased anything?

The Rebels beat Icon twice. lol Who made this list?

Rebels Red Hawks played in the 3rd bracket at Lake George, correct?

Thats rough. At least they won We will get answers soon as Fall season about to kick off.

Ok. They still beat a team twice that is "ranked" above them. I'm just curious as to what expert made this list.

New season starting. This could all change again. Hornets disappeared last year. Its ECE and Exp Everyone else is mediocre

ECE? Now that’s laughable who did they beat or play last year at this age? didn’t they fold a 2025 team a while back?

They were the beneficiaries of the Legrush misstep by trying to sell 3 teams (Red White and Blue) and ended up with 1 1/2 teams for all last season. They saved the White team this year but still with the combined coaching nonsense. That is such a poor model in my opinion. Just have a different staff, the experiment didn’t work.

Are prospect days for 2025s worth it or money grabs?

Only if it's a school you're seriously interested in. B teams it's Exp and everyone else, they would beat the bottom half of the so called A teams
A teams it's 91 than CoachC than a big gap to everyone else.

Enough with Exp B already They turn the ball over way too much to compete with any A team. Im not saying they arent good for what they are but they would get smoked by a real A team. Facts

Way too much banter about B teams. Three quarters of the kids on "AA" teams aren't good enough to play college ball. Just enjoy the last year of travel instead of trying to figure out what B team is the best, which doesn't even make sense? After this year you won't see most of the people again and you'll miss these days.

It’s a conversation topic sorry it doesn’t appeal to what you want to read. We will try harder to make a topic more appealing. What team is your son on? Crickets…

If you talking strictly AA teams. Then that simply is not true. Just looking at the 22 & 23 classes igloo , 91 and Express. Each of those teams has 17-20 D1 commits. Others are committed to D2 and D3. The 23 class of the bandits and igloo just about every kid is playing in college.
The 23 91 & Express B teams have more than 1/3 of the team committed to play college. The rest of the 23 B organizations have kids committed to playing at the next level.

“AA” is in quotes because everyone thinks they’re AA. 91 will send a good amount of kids to D1 that will actually play. Express will send kids to D1 who will watch from the sidelines for 4 years. Igloo, Legrush and the rest will only have a handful of recruitable players each.

Historically speaking, 91 and Express always have a good amount of kids that play and get play time at the next level. Igloo had a great run the last 3 years. Their 21, 22 and 23 teams had a ton of recruits about 18 each at the D1 level. How they fair in College is still to be determined. Funny thing about Igloo, they never played 91 or Express but seem to have their kids in good spots to get recruited. I think that run is over. They still have some good players but nothing like they had the past few years.

How is the St A JV roster i am hearing it is stacked and not many kids will actually play ???
