HHH 25s, TT 26s 27s TT will lead pack again with most D1. 28s will be Freedom. The Dukes daddies on this board should stick to being middle school champs. TT 25's over 20 commits so I think right there with HHH. This is good for the Philly area will help future Philly classes with over 50 commits in 25 classes from those 2 clubs. No HHH 2025 is ahead of TT 2025 from both a quantity and quality perspective of recruits. For example, HHH 2025 has 4 players going to Duke and all 4 of them are in the top 5 in their class at their respective positions. TT 2025 is very good, however HHH is on another level up. HHH 2025 is up there with PrimeTime, Team 91 LI and Team 91 MD vying for top class in the country. HHH 2025 is an anomaly, no other HHH is on that level

Over/ under 5 years until the NLF and A.L.L combine and do a true "Best of the Best" Tournament to end the summer. Would become an all time event like "Champ Camp" once was.

Let’s just remember that HHH 26’s are way behind, and the HHH 27’s and HHH 28’s are not competitive. Ain’t no amount of gaslighting BM can do to prove otherwise. He’s solely focused attention the Birddogs and getting his own son recruited. If you aren’t a Birddog, I’d be ejecting out of that program instead of going down with the ship. Trends don’t lie.

BM who has placed hundreds of division 1 players know that nothing matters until High School so the idea that he is focused on his own son is idiotic. “Trends” are that talent jumps around year to year. No club in Philly is the only club in Philly.

Glory be to those historically great HHH teams!!
The current lineups are a joke ( with the exception of the Birddogs, they are loaded)

No club in Philly is the only club in Philly. Why don't you ask a current 26er how they are feeling about the recruiting process and how BM has done to help. And then ask the 25s and the 24s. You will hear the same thing.

If your son is a top player , you may want to reach out to the travel clubs in your area and explain your financial situation. Some of the travel clubs in our area have scholarships. I’m sure they may consider, if he is a good player, who can contribute to their team. Collect some film / video of him playing. Get a letter from his rec. league coach. You may still need to pay for travel expense, but not the club fees and tournament fees. It really can’t hurt to ask. I hope your son gets a chance to play at the next level! Good Luck! So many “rich kids” take all of it for granted! Many don’t even seem like they want to be there.  I wanted to follow up and thank you. I talked to a travel coach and he invited my son to go to a practice to see if it was something he would be interested. He said we could talk about payment if my son is a good fit and vice/versa for the team. It's good to know not all travel programs are money grabbers and want kids to enjoy the game. Following up on this. My son started playing for a club team who worked out a payment plan that worked. My son played in a tournament the other week and scored 19 goals in 4 games. Not bad for a kid that almost had to drop the sport because we could not afford the club teams. A coach from another team asked if he would consider playing with his team at a national tournament. He is still young but two colleges approached him and said he should go to their "playday". Dropping in to thank a few of the parents on this site. My son had a fantastic fall. He was (by far) the best player on the team and on the field. He finished 3 fall tournaments with 37 goals and is invited to a number of "play days" for various colleges. He is not able to commit as he is too young but we would never have been here if parents didn't make great suggestions about talking to "travel" coaches about the fee almost all of you pay (not me). If I can share some advice, you parents who have your kid in only one sport (lacrosse), you are doing it wrong.

What happened to the NXT program? They’ve probably been around the longest, yet none of their teams/grad years are worth discussing…why is that?

The only teams that are discussed on here are the teams that have huge egos. Nobody brags about playing for NXT. They were the first totally corporate lacrosse organization. They play primarily in their own tournaments at the youth level. By the time high school rolls around, the HHH and Dukes and BL’s snatch up who they want for the national tourney tilts.
In short, they are consistently middle of the pack. Nothing exciting by design. Keep the tuition steady, most money coming from the tourney side of the corporation.

So…is that a good thing or bad that NXT doesn’t market themselves or their players? I don’t ever see them w top talent so I’m leaning towards bad. I guess if your kid is blah, play for a blah club.
