Pretty positive they have not yet gone out dispite Jake Reed posting on his twitter awhile back that they would be out by October 1st.

Do you really think JR won't take your money?? Keep paying up!!

Whitman ranked 15 preseason Suffolk an beat Turtles?

Yes and I understand they're receiving a trophy for the accomplishment. Its fall ball who cares???

Seems like a lot of people! It's an early indicator

What tournaments are all the top teams going to this fall? (91, express, outlaws, TB, Turtles, etc.)

Turtles website says NSLCA fall showcase and Philly team showcase.

Any opinions of Fab Frosh?

Fab Frosh is an excellent showcase. We know of two kids who went last year and within a two week period got contacts to prospect camps and invitations to visit. Very good communication with coaches from within the showcase. Must have been at least 25 schools there evaluating. By invitation only.

I trust this person's opinion but I have heard more mixed feedback. A lot of kids, mixed talent level. If you kid ia already going to Jake Reed and/or Maverick Showcase, probably not worth it. If not, I would go.

Just got my invite to Fab Frosh and trying to decide as well. Were on the fence because of the all other summer crap going on. Dont know much about it, but I have heard good things.

Pulled the below direct from 3d as you can see most region/postion/grade combinations remain open - well past the September notification date - including 2018 where the only way into Jake Reed is via 3d

2017 attack is the only position full across all regions and overall 2017 seems to be the class with the filled spots

Sorry to beat a dead horse, but just want an update if anyone's kids (2017s) have received a direct invite (not 3D Blue chip) to Jake Reed Nike Blue Chip for the upcoming summer? Were suppossed to be out awhile ago.

When does Long Island Sting 2017 Team have tryouts?

Haven't heard of anyone getting one yet

Omg the amount of people on here panicking about little Johnny's invite to Jake Reed is comical. Dont worry yourself too much, as soon as the invites are out I'm sure all the self absorbed dads living vicariously through their kids will post letting everyone know that their little Johnny was invited. Take a breath, if he doesnt get an invite the world will still rotate

You are one of the most condescending, negative, glass half full people out there. Maybe people just want to know if others have heard as it is a lot of money to have to go through 3D Blue Chip (cost of event, airfaire, hotel) to get to Jake Reed. Is that living through your kid or economic reality? I do realize a family chould chose to bag it all together if cost was a big issue, but just asking. Don't need the d-bag response you have to everything, Little Johnny.

Wow, D-Bag, lol. Did you think of that yourself? Take a look at this thread and see how many posts there are about the Jake Reed invites going out. Also look at the post describing the open slots at 3D Blue Chip. If you know anything about lacrosse and how it works at this level you would know that to get a direct invite to Jake Reed you pretty much need to have a coach with some juice recommend your kid. Pretty much every kid that's going to get a direct invite is aware that they will be getting one. If there's a question in your mind then Little Johnny is probably not getting an invite.

Heres a dose of reality for all you "wheres my Jake Reed invite " people

Thanks genius. No one knew any of this and the world is falling...Go have a drink, something to make you happier.

Judging by the posts on this site its pretty apparent that noone does know any of this and they think the world is falling because their son didnt get a Jake Reed invite. Thanks but I am quite happy reading all these ridiculous posts from delusional parents

Got another reminder to register for 3d Jake Reed today. They must be hurting.

Easy there tough guy. These 'dads' are deserved an answer after this long process that started in Florida in January and continued into July in Marylnd. It shouldn't take four months to send out invites. And by the way, don't pretend you are so above all of this. You are obviously pretty concerned about your little 'Johnny' if your surfing BOTC early in the morning. Please spare us the snarky comments.

Agree, the guy should be outlawed from the board. Condescending, negatoid about everything.

Call Jake Reed and explain to him how you "deserve" an answer. Good luck with that and let me know how that turns out......unreal

I dont think anyone is stating they are above anything. I myself am realistic about my kid and his place, not really too worried about Jake Reed invites, the whole lacrosse world doesnt revolve around it. Plenty of other places to play and showcase your kid. If your kid is that good he doesnt need Jake Reed, colleges will find him

And... if your kid "IS" that good, he'll be invited to JR and everything else.

Don't you guys get tired arguing about whose kid is better?

Asked and answered back on 9/16/13. This is a recurring question on this forum. I would think it no longer matters.

Amen to that ^ Brother!!
So many dudes wondering what if and then diminishing the positive aspect of being invited to all of the showcases. My kids lucky. He was blessed with a little innate ability and maximized the coaching and games/tournament experiences thus far and has been invited to all of the "major?" Showcases. Hopefully JR will be on his list as well. If not; he is not doing 3D again. Gotta give him a break. These kids really need to have some fun away from lax.

Yes, the Maverik Showtime for next summer have gone out (for 2017s) as well as the Jake Reed fall invites.

Just got Outlaws 2017 Black
Nov 3rd legacy Boston
Nov 9th uplax Baltimore
Nov 10th NSCLA Baltimore
Nov 16th 3d Baltimore
Nov 24th NXT Invitational PA

They should garner 2, maybe 3 wins total in those 5 tournaments

I have no idea how accurate your prediction is, I'm just wondering what you are basing it on.

why so obnoxious? someone asked where the LI teams were playing

Why would you even ask what this moron is basing his prediction on? Who cares what he predicts or thinks? It is just going to open up a conversation for grown men to bash 14/15 yr olds.

Just wait and see MR 91 IDIOT

WOW! Sorry, but this "91 IDIOT" is the one sticking up for the Outlaw boys.

The amount of WINS doesn't mean anything at this age for all 2017 teams, its about getting noticed by the colleges. Learn the process before you talk stupid.

looks like a Good Schedule
What are 91,Express,Team LI, jesters,fl$,and True B Doing
