BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls 2025-11th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024

Use this thread to discuss lacrosse pertaining to 11th Grade Girls (2025 Grads) for the Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Season.

We're still breathing

Better late than never!

Now fix the 2026 girls thread as well!

LMAO. She made her decision and just like that the page is back up. Will announce after she calls all the colleges and lets them know

So who did she pick?

wants to play for her dad...that's pretty cool

Gotta say, that’s awesome!

Winkler is a totally different attacker. She gets by on insane explosiveness on that first step and a super quick release. While other attackers constantly move the goalie, Winkler doesn’t and shoots immediately in front of the goalie with precision. She has no right hand and is not a traditional dodger. Her teammate who also just committed to UNC is a far better dodger. She can feed and is totally unselfish. Spallina although feeds is as selfish as they come if the offense isn’t going through her but is more physical and a better dodger. Insane shot and unpredictable. Nowhere near the same level athlete but she gets to the net. I would bet while both don’t have great first years, spallina will be he more effective in college.

You also have to consider the players that are already at each school. UNC has the #1 recruit in the 2023 class that will be occupying the left attack position for the first couple of years Winkler is there. Spallina may end up having a clearer path to playing depending on which school she chooses. What school you choose can go a long ways in determining how successful a college career you have.

i watch alot of CT lax and Lauretani is the best dodger in this class by far. IMO she was the best player in the class from what i saw. Winkler wasn't too far behind. They carried a very average Ridgefield squad for years. Put them on an underachieving team like SA and they will be top 5 in the country. AS is an amazing player but she gets way too hot and cold and the incosistency needs to be corrected in college for her to fullfil her full potential. She's strong and powerful, has a wicked shot, and great lax sense. All the tools. But she has to put it together.

I hope she goes to CUSE because i think she'll benefit greatly learning from KT who was the most talented player of all time.

Just keep things positive on here all these years later it doesn’t matter who won or lost it’s about where they go off to school and wherever they choose it’s a great accomplishment. This class is excellent. Summer tournaments are done Rankings are done by inside lacrosse now it’s about the kids finding their way

The only ranking that matters is the rankings the coaches on your daughter's short list of schools have.

Interesting that there is no activity on this thread. If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd think posts were being suppressed.

from who

Not sure, but I can't fathom being in September and no activity in this forum. Wasn't long ago that this forum was mysteriously not accessible.

Happy October!

well that was an interesting September

This going to get going again?

Lax forum. That’s where everybody went.

I’m guessing the college coaches liked what they saw. 25 rostered players - 25 D1 commits. Sorry your daughter didn’t get any calls.

It would help if you quoted a post... this seems random...

Response to a bunch of posts that for whatever reason were removed. They were basically attacking JS’s team as usual. Thought we were past that 🤦‍♂️

Lmao. Deleted posts about Spallina. Typical. It’s why no one posts here anymore.

That says it all about the people who "don't post here anymore"

Nobody posts here anymore. Nothing do to with Spallina. The waiting to get approved is what did it. Sometimes you post something and it’s not up for hours. If it makes it up at all. Had a 2025 daughter getting recruited and there was nothing for months. Go on other sites and there was hundreds of posts

What other sites?

Not telling you. Therefore you can bring your nonsense there? Nope. Enjoy here where being an acolyte has its advantages.

So we get that JS's team was basically all recruited top25 D1. What about YJ's other 2025 teams? Distant or are they pretty close?

All YJ goalies committed to D1 👏🏽

No they didn't

In fairness, they played STEPS Navy, Eagle Stix, AIM and NXT Black. Not exactly a weak schedule. STEPS ranked #2.

Yeah in 2022 Steps was ranked 2. Lmao.

It’s nothing new. He does it all the time. The number is laxnumbers strength of schedule. Let’s play a game. What is different in the group.


1 Yellow Jackets Spallina (2025) 91.66
2 Hero's Green (2025)95.66
3 Capital Blue (2025) 95.58
4 Prime Time (2025) Prime Time (2025) 95.15
5 Sky Walkers Blue (2025) 94.37
6 M&D Black (2025) M&D Black (2025) 95.93
7 STEPS Elite NJ Navy (2025)00 94.48
8 Yellow Jackets Thorn/Rella (2025) 94.22
9 Mass Elite Red (2025) 94.32
10 STEPS California (2025) 92.49

The goals for most if not all the girls and families on the team are to commit to a college of their choice. They did exactly that. and very early on. They did not lose sight of that. So, who cares about what ranking they are and what opponents they faced? If his strategy is to play slightly weaker team to show case his girls. He is SMART.

Maryland
Northwestern
UPenn

Who cares about rankings for rising seniors? Stop it. I hope you all find college homes for your daughters. What more is left beyond that?

I bet M and D, Capital, Prime Time, Hero’s etc etc. are similar.
