With personal knowledge. The better kids didn’t leave. The parents who thought that their kids were better left. Standby for reality check!!!!

reality check of the turtles ?????

if they lost any kid no way they are competitive

way too many teams now
it’s all watered down

what is legacy taz?

Eclipse bringing a squad for the WS. Recruiting went well over the summer. See you all in March

Ok cool- assume you will be the laxer wearing club gear head to toe(shirt tucked in) the kid who plays when up ten. See u March. Disgrace

With your 29 players playing on 29 and 30 teams again?

Follow up- and good advice for dads. No need to be walking advertisement for clubs- and if you do go down that unfortunate route pls do not tuck in your shirt. Maybe just stick with team hat.. seems more reasonable and will make you feel better when things do not turn out like you had hoped down the road.

Dukes also picked up some pieces and are ready for this year. Predicting Primetime and Dukes entering top 5 this year.

Dukes with the new pieces still can't compete with the Cyclones.

Remind me again of Cyclones record against Dukes this summer? I believe it was 0-1-1…I’d call that more than competing. But then again I understand you LI teams don’t like playing against the physical nature of Philly area teams and it dogs your memory

…can’t compete w Cyclones unless it’s the NAL Championship (I fixed it for you, Dad)

Dukes aren’t good. Had a few ineligible 2029 kids play NAL final. And the record for the summer was 1-1, beat dukes down after beating Next Level in a back to back. It was on your home turf, 0-2 that day, not so tough now!

cyclones depend vastly on the FOGO
you stop him to do well
their defense is undersized as is the attack

pretty much a 3 man team.

fogo and 2 attackman

the other 25 pick up the scraps

Well written and definitely true. Thank god they have 29 on the roster. Finally ppl see the money grab!!! The new players should be very cautious with the team. Good luck breaking into a squad that had pieces in place.

Not far off but hard to believe one of the best teams only has 3 good players! Fogo is def a special player and the righty attack is almost unstoppable. But there is def more to it.

Cyclone lefty attackman is very good also.

29 players? That doesn’t sound right. Express has 29+ is more like it. Plus nobody plays on Express because it is daddy ball. The two coaches never take their kids off the field.

. Not a Duke’s guy but this “they used ineligible players” excuse is typical Cyclones Dad. My son’s team was there and all rosters were verified. If what you’re saying is true, blame the NAL. And that Duke’s team is very good. Any time 91 loses, Dads make excuses…you’re getting ripped off, Legacy is better

K back to the topic, Cyclones lost to Dukes more than once this season and will lose again.

All 91 LI teams make up lame excuses/lies whenever their teams lose, at every age group, it’s in their DNA

Legacy is a mess right now

they lost one of best players to express

parents are fighting with each other year long
had nobody at tryouts

some type of merger with igloo

and they also changed team name ???

time to move on

Poor 91 parents trying to validate the thousands extra they pay…
Did BBL Shore use ineligible players in that beatdown? (according to USRankings, Duke’s beat 3x)?
What about Garden City? Too many reclasses?
Legacy? We were missing players that weekend.
Clown show

Legacy is a mess. Looking at how things unraveled after tryouts they will be lucky to beat S2S. Express picked up some good pieces but will still @ChillLaxin. Coaches kids won’t leave the field. Igloo gained nothing but did lose a horrible parent coach so that should help. Cyclones grabbed some talent and size. Outside of the island PT and 2way will be strong out of CT. Dukes will be good but will struggle offensively. Next level had a come to Jesus moment and aren’t as good as the HOCO members thought they would be. BBL shore and Black are also very strong but can’t seem to string it together in meaningful games. It will be fun to watch these teams battle this coming year even though some of them are not WS eligible.

Don’t forget igloo, they continue their downward spiral. Nothing new at tryouts

Igloo and express traded attack man

Express is getting bad with daddy ball now add another coach kid

Cyclones picked up size and didn’t cut anyone
How do you play 9 poles ???

Legacy is just a mess

Igloo was included but the moderator removed. Touchy subject

Did the former igloo coach join the express staff?

Can’t talk about him on this forum. They wont allow it. Let’s just say Igloo’s problems are now Express’s.

all these kids bouncing from club to club
what a waste
don’t these clubs give the best training ???

what are you paying all the $$$ for then

to play 5 mins in a game

Going to be a big year. The athletes will prevail. For many the last 5 years of spending money will be wasted. You can only train so much, then genetics take over.

Dukes is athletic, they are going to roll this group, especially the cyclones

We should be grateful for the 6/1 cutoff. My 2027 son didn’t have this luxury and the summer after 7th was brutal. Summer after 8th not as bad but still challenging due to the size disparities.

You people better take a good look at college ball today! Their are 60 kids on a team and only the 16 best play! Buy your kid a dirt bike!

……but all 60 are getting education. That’s the real goal. Get some perspective.

Strike 1: their
Strike 2: 16 of 60 play
Strike 3: your overall knowledge

Enjoy the dirt bike!

Most of your kids won't PLAY college lacrosse at a high level but if they can use lacrosse to get a better and more affordable education that's the point.

Lacrosse is a hammerhead. It's not the end goal.

First of all if you don’t see the field in college you probably aren’t getting much money. Second of all not many would want to go and be a bench warmer for 4 years!

I guess you've never gone through the process. There are 2025s committing NOW that are getting money. Stop repeating @ChillLaxin you've heard elsewhere.

Add in the roster caps and scholarship increases, the game is about to see a major change.

Fair enough but you didn’t address the not playing issue. So basically their job becomes being a practice player for money. Some kids will have trouble excepting this
