Do you realize you are advocating about a team(s) that make you pay to be a part of them? More than half these kids are holdbacks, they will get a small percentage of money for scholarship, and they will need therapy when they are older because of the psychological damage the Dads have caused. Time to lighten' up.

The fact that I am not a TT dad but I can recognize lacrosse talent is clearly too triggering for you to handle. Why don't you go cry about it in a safe space. Maybe your son is just as talented as the TT 27 defenders, who knows. By your responses he's most likely not since someone pointing out talent gets you so easily triggered.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Originally Posted by Anonymous TT is so overrated, kids are obnoxious but nearly as much as their Dads… I’ve seen them numerous times - if their non-athletic D goes high D1, then college lacrosse has a talent problem. Keep buying what those TT “counselors” are selling; they’re laughing all the way to the bank Wow why all the TT detest? Jealous of 25 and 26 successes? Time will tell but I am pretty sure TT will get a lot of D1 commits. They are definitely hit and miss at times but they have beaten both BBL and Machine within last year I do not think many other teams have done that if so feel free to post.

I've seen TT 2027 play numerous times this year. They have legitimate talent at every position. Skilled attackman (two of the best in the entire class), athletic middies that can run by people and shoot on the run, big physical defense, etc. They have all the pieces to play at a very high level. Only things that could hold them back this year would be injuries, practice continuity and or coaching, all which I'm in the know on for this team. Regardless good luck to both TT and BL You are the guy that chose to use the rankings to make your point. TT and BL are both "serious contenders." I am not taking anything away from them. In a BL TT matchup. TT takes attack definitely deep and an insane amount of talent. Agreed they have two of the best, but it seems they don't play that well together. BL TT middies are close. Maybe tied, but I would give a slight edge to BL. I think it could be argued the other way. BL takes goalies and defense. TT d is big but slow. BL defense is quicker, cover better and have better stick skills. The starting defense for TT is not big and slow........the goalies are both very good as well. They will play again at some point but last year's game was not really even a close game. The big players are slow. TT has a very good defender who is not particularly big and is not slow. He is also very good. I just think BL has better defenders overall. TT's goalies are both very good. BL's goalies are just better. They will play again and it should be a great game. MvB is a beast. TT lost him because of an inability to evaluate talent. BL picked up a couple of other great mids from TT. This clown said the starting defense for TT is big and slow meanwhile in about a years time at least 5 poles for TT will be committed to high end D1 schools if they want.

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 Disagree it is pretty even. We see it in football and basketball all the time do not get stuck on player rankings, etc. D1 is D1 and a lot of kids do not care about going to Duke for example. Lot of things factor in to a decision and with the roster limits coming some of these kids are going to regret where they go. If you look at top high schools in area and who is playing on those teams it is pretty even between these 2 teams. HHH definitely is better at getting their kids ranked, etc. because they focus on that. All these kids are good and time will tell at the next level. Of course the IL and NLF get making rankings wrong. For example, the two best attackmen in the 2025 class are Jackson Maher out of Bullis and Khalif Hocker out of St Xavier but Millon gets the spotlight with the number 1 ranking? Why mostly due to name recognition. Regardless of rankings, HHH 2025 has better talent than TT 2025. Go watch the HHH 2025 kids play in spring for their HS and you'll why they were so highly recruited.

They are just not marketed the same and have more public school kids or kids at EA, etc. We all know Haverford and Malvern have some really good 2025's from both programs. For all the hype around Malvern, Haverford has won the Interac last 2 seasons and only have 3 2025 HHH kids on roster.

For all the hype around Malvern, Haverford has won the Interac last 2 seasons and only have 3 2025 HHH kids on roster. No, regardless of marketing if you watch the games objectively, the best 2025 players in the philly area are on HHH. Gavin Cooper, Michael Ortlieb, Owen Mears, Will Tantillo, Charlie Halpert, Logan Turley, etc all are on HHH 2025

Anonymous Unregistered A	Anybody want to offer up a pre-season Inter-Ac ranking so we have something to debate over the long weekend? I’m assuming it’s Still the 3 sub grouping of Tier 1: HS, MP Tier 2: EA, SCH Tier 3: GA, PC Any teams make significant improvements or the opposite?

Go watch the HHH 2025 kids play in spring for their HS and you'll why they were so highly recruited. Don't know about the TT 2025 kids, but the HHH 2025 kids are all a year older than everyone else. Disagree if you watch high school lacrosse objectively you will notice the Team Ten kids. They are just not marketed the same and have more public school kids or kids at EA, etc. We all know Haverford and Malvern have some really good 2025's from both programs. For all the hype around Malvern, Haverford has won the Interac last 2 seasons and only have 3 2025 HHH kids on roster. Bad argument. It completely ignores the 2023 and 2024 classes by assuming the 2025 class is the only class that impacted the inter ac championship the last 2 seasons

Haverford players are usually underrated for whatever reason which happens in club lacrosse as well with certain clubs. The DMID from Haverford that went to Duke (Interac player of the year) and the Haverford 24 Goalie for example. Their rankings may have gotten updated now but they were not really talked about and you probably do not know who they are unless you watched Philly high school lacrosse. They were the best players at their positions in the area.

Haverford defense is really good and face off kid can dominate when he plays. Malvern opposite they get most of offense back but lose defense. EA and SCH could definitely pull off an upset they are better than people think.

Malvern is loaded onoffense with a lot of senior fire power while HS has a loaded defense with senior studs. HS should have the edge face off wise against Malvern, but it should be a great game either way.

This will definitely change in the Spring and Summer when athletes that play a fall sport become more present in their club lacrosse teams.

They lost some players that had starting roles the past couple of years to graduation, but have some VERY good talent back there. Not going to see a massive drop off.

These games don’t interfere with football/soccer schedules. Maybe golf schedules… but I don’t know any legit top tier lacrosse player that is a golfer.
