US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2027-9th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024

Even worse....they added a "combine " this year . They keep grasping at straws to be relevant. And of course to top it off they broadcast some games on YouTube....if you happen to watch one and listen to them try to commentate a boys high school game you will probably turn it off after 2 minutes. They don't know a thing about boys lacrosse.on long island . Time to give it up winks .....nobody goes back to your excelsior after the first time there now so they go back to your silly " winter showcases " and the test if your " be seen " events . They have local coaches calling people up to fill these events now because nobody will go back
Stick to your girl lacrosse tournamenta that you run and stop embarrassing yourselves

Another one that is terrible is the LI Lax Showcase . That event is also run by a local club/HS coach . The problem is he doesn't hide the fact that he's an igloo coach and invites all of the igloo teams there and it becomes an igloo infested selection with kids that can barely catch and throw . There is no real coach evaluating anything....it's igloo then adding in some other kids lol. Save your time and money . It's gotten so bad that the coach running it even picks up the phone to ask why some kids he knows didn't sign up when the numbers are light . He needs to get paid .

Maybe your kid is just terrible!

Nice job NLF and Matt chandik with your " inside lacrosse coaches poll rankings " so pathetic . Everyone knows that USCL is the only legit rankings that carry a mathematical formula which considers strength of opponents etc ......give it a rest you're me embarrassing yourselves yet again..no shame whatsoever. Which coaches did you poll exactly ? Why don't you show the results ?

They polled all nlf coaches just like their player rankings. It is a joke cannot believe college coaches even look at Inside Lacrosse or NLF rankings. Both are so biased. It also trickles into the high school school rankings.

This actually isn't true at all. My older son had several D1 offers that can be directly attributed to playing in the Nassau-Suffolk game a couple of years ago. He didn't play for Igloo and I don't think anyone on his team did.

Be wary of parents whose kids aren't good enough to make these all-star game talking smack about them to make themselves feel better about it.

It's actually embarrassing....anyone that has a kid in youth lacrosse knows the real rankings are USCL. They are the only unbiased, mathematical, algorithm rankings that are legit . These clowns at the NLF have no shame and they even put "powered by the NLF ' on there lol. Go look at USCL rankings and see where those teams are that are ranked in the top 10. You can see who they played , what the score was etc ...and they are legit . Same exact formula as those for hockey rankings . This clown chandik is nothing more than a social media influencer . Pathetic

Really, are they missing a team? The rankings are similar...

Sounds like a dad who used to be on igloo, didn’t play there, left, now his kid doesn’t play on new team. So bash igloo coach and tryout!

Looks like only 4 igloo kids made it for that 2027 team. Throw your theory out window

Funny because it’s true.

Please bring me some cheese with that wine. Keep making excuses. Thats what's going to lead to the need for therapy.

It’s more likely that your kid will be bringing the cheese and wine to the table after graduating college at 26 while majoring in Lax Bro’ing!

Have to agree with you . It still bogglesy.kkndbbow adults get @ChillLaxin into this lacrosse hoopla knowing it's a dead end . And before the briankeaa fools on here have a panic attack let me give you a real world story ....I have a friend who was recently asked to help a kid who just graduated from a top college and was a d1 lacrosse player ....the kid didn't make it past the first round of interviews ....why? Because he has nothing to offer besides playing lacrosse. So if you want to be a teacher (nothing wrong with that ) or want to work on sales (nothing wrong with that either ) then fine go ahead and get all worked up about your son playing lacrosse but anything outside of that lacrosse is a dead end and yes your son will most likely be calling the friend with good grades and a good job looking for work

Yes!! I tell my kid he better work harder because mommy and daddy don’t have the connections

Spelling mistakes.
Run on sentences.
Punctuation errors.

That's the best you got ? Sorry to have killed your hopes and dreams in one lengthy forum post .(Living through your kid )Your poor kid will end up at adelphi , at least you won't have to leave long island as much to watch him play lacrosse when he gets to college .

Did you take any english classes in community college?

Sorry , I overestimated your kid . Sounds more like a cw post commit .. congratulations.

Eddie Murphy went to Nassau Community College and things turned out ok for him. There is hope.

You seem like a wonderful person, very classy comment. Maybe you should take a break and re-evaluate who you are as a human being.

Express rocking. Looks like some changes out there.

Why don't you talk after tomorrow when your team faces some better competition goldie locks ...we all know who you are posting . Good luck

What changes were made? Heard rumors of coaching change. Did it really happen?

They will be elite now very shortly. If the man with the Midas touch is coaching. In my opinion.

Where is chandik now ? After all of his NLF talk , NLF is the best blah blah blah , not only did team ten beat 3 NLF teams but the final at the NAL (largest tournament of the summer ) had two non NLF teams in the final (team 10 vs mad dog)

Any comments from chandik, would love to hear them

You really have to love the second place dad chest pound.

NLF National Championships up next, place your bets!

Tough to figure out 2027. Mad Dog and Laxachusetts seem to be in a league of their own right now - with 91 Machine closely behind them. Kings and West Coast Starz round out the top 5. After that there are 15 or so teams, that can hang with the best on a given day, but just don’t seem to have the same consistency.
