BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM MD Girls 2028

That m&d dad (if that is even the case) was responding to the wine mom’s rant about the 29 team. I agree that this is a 28 forum but pick the right person to bash. You can actually see where the conversation started in the posts you yourself quoted.

another parent coach with no girls lacrosse recruiting experience

Not sure what this is in reference to but, you may want to learn how recruiting works at clubs. It is done at the club director level and less at the age group coaching level. This is why Coppermine brought on Tucker and now JB. SW had Michael but sadly will need to find someone to fill his shoes. M&D has Robinsons who have a track record that is arguably the best in the business. Coaches play a role in development but recruiting is at a higher level at most clubs.

Who is JB

No one important..

Who is JB

Although I agree that is typically how its done, a coach with connections, either past coaching or as a former player with contacts can and will play a role. TBH, I think a trusted coach who has watched a girl for 6-7 years can carry more weight than some directors who may have only spent the last year or two getting to know the girls. Specifically now, where these club coaches may have been teammates or rivals with current NCAA coaches today.

After all, recruiting is all about relationships and lax is a small community.

Not a recruiting coordinator so weird he was mentioned. He’s the future coach of 2030s and current 2026 coach. JT is also barely involved, but they do have an actual recruiting coordinator.

John Brown

Tells everyone he is a recruiting coordinator but he is not. Overrated coach who used to be with M&D

Is this about the new Coppermine black 28 coach? What is the story there?

Does anyone have updates on player movement? Or is everything kind of staying the same?

Lots of surprises upcoming

Heard quite a few girls are leaving Coppermine. M&D may be the big winner this year

M&D will need players after losing some of their own. I guess Monday will clear up rumors vs truth.

Almost everyone will need players after losing some of their own. This is how it works.

Why did the previous HC step aside? When will they announce new coach?

Players at the bottom of the roster and less playing time are common to move every year. This isn’t a surprise to anyone.

The truth is already out there.

How is JB overrated?

Not the bottom of the rosters for Coppermine or M&D

It’s already been announced. It’s on their instagram page

Looks like we can guarantee at least 1 M&D Black kid to Coppermine with their new coaching addition.

You mean the coach’s daughter? Here we go again…. Any starters? Is Coppermine losing starters?

If they are starting but smart they should leave. Not how lax is played. You don’t just play 14 girls especially with the talent that ran deep on that team. No excuse for it.

He likes teaching girls to be the best they can be, by reclassifying his daughters when they were not good enough to make the A teams when they were in age. What a clown

Yes, quite a few

Skywalkers usually gets the a couple good DC girls who don't make capital. Will be interesting to see if Crush can keep all of its top players with no recruiting rep to speak of.

Coppermine will get the new coaches daughter and another close friend of his daughter. Numbers may start to get tight there.

I don’t think it’s wildly unfair to M&D, I wouldn’t put them above 5 unless there is a major influx of talent coming in[/quote]

What talent is going to Skywalkers and MDU to vault them ahead?[/quote]

From what I hear Crush will be fine and isn’t losing any of their top players and they have a plan in place for recruiting. Skywalkers will get some talent, from where remains to be seen. Also, FCA may pick up some defectors from other top clubs.

They usually got the good BLC girls but there isn't a BLC 2028 team so not sure whether DC will help them this year. Skywalkers is a good team as it is, do they have as much space as people say? I get that they will cut existing girls, but how many girls better than what they have will turn up?

And people are so smart they are jumping into the fire at mnd by going to a place where the 2 coaches daughters get all the play run thru them. People forget they just lost a few because of this.

Yes but not their top middies

More attackers to stand on the sideline…exactly what Coppermine doesn’t need

Wow, shocker another completely out of line comment. Attacking this man’s personal life when you have no idea what the circumstances may have been!
Congratulations to Coppermine on a smart hire in a co-head coach. This coach is a class act whos SIX kids have all had great success in lax- including a D1 Championship! Perhaps he knows a thing or two about the recruiting process- just sayin’
Best of luck to all those at tryouts this week and beyond.

Anyone who has seen this team play knows this isn’t true. You already moved on from the team, let it go.

No issues with numbers there, lots of impact starters leaving.

Didn’t forget because it’s not why they left. But keep pushing the false narratives…helps keep the message board open for business

“Co-head coach”? That sounds like a disaster in the making. There can only be one captain.

With the rumors of the departures, there may be more collateral damage with movement.

A 15 year old 8th grader and 17 year old sophomore…
Yeah- it’s super weird. I guess the argument is the guys do it all the time. Feels a little gross.

Coppermine doesn’t have parent head coaches… so co-coach works right?
