Ditto! You belittle what the kid has busted his butt on to accomplish.

Thank u for that post. But when my kid is 5'3 5'4" say in tenth grade does he have a real opportunity to make it? Prob not when there will be an attackman at 5'10" and fully developed. He sees it already and works hard and is on one of the better teams at his age group but I wonder. Those early bloomers do have an advantage.

I appreciate the feedback. It's frustrating though knowing your son has the ability but his size will hurt him at this age. I was always told u are too small and I went on to play 1AA college football. I was a late bloomer and he is following. And with this recruting process starting so early it makes u a little crazy. Lol. And I have no problem him going to a good div 3 or 2 school.

Awesome kid, unbelievable player. Very well deserved hardest working kid I know. My son has played with him since the 5 the grade. Deserves all the kudos

This child is one of the top players for 2018 and deserves the kudos. The buzz is more about the quality of the reporting. At a minimum it was biased by reputation and outside inputs. The simple math shows that the reporter would have only had a snapshot of all the players he listed. I would question wether Ty asked " who is the kid wearing numer xxx?" or " What number is ( kids name) wearing?"

Everyone needs to just relax. A blogger wrote about a few players at a showcase event. He couldn't write about everyone and picked a few from different positions. This was a very tough region probably the toughest of all the 3DBC regions. To be mentioned in the main body is a nice accomplishment and then to be in the honorable mention area is also great. Why must parents take it to the level where they bash kids. My son was there played very well wasn't mentioned but I couldn't be happier for the Kuttin family and all the other Long Island boys mentioned. It was a great event my son will do it again. Thought the coaching was great and the overall talent was exceptional. It was a great barometer to see how your child played when placed in a new team style concept. Most of the boys from Long Island play on the same teams or play against each other. Amazing as it sounds they were all friends before and will be friends after this event. My son commented how nice the players from Dukes, Patriots, Building Blocks and other teams were. Parents just get over the petty b.s. you construe in your own heads. Let the boys have fun being kids and playing the game they love.

Nice post. It is so true how they all are friends. My older son has attended several of these showcases. He has developed frienships from all over the country, they all chat constantly. They support each other and congratulate each other on their commitments. Lacrosse players belong to a true brotherhood. They parents are way more anxious and competitive than the kids.

need some help here - Inside Lacrosse seems to have taken down the link to all of Mr Zanders recruiting blogs - has it moved or is it gone?

it seems to be gone from the drop down tab under recruiting - also it does not come up when you do a search for Ty Xanders" lots of articles but none of the camp stuff

Just posted this on the 2017 site and thought you would be interested. Re: early recruiting for 2017 class.

Another 2017 kid just commited. This time a middie from FCA and Calvert Hall to Ohio State. According to Inside Lacrosse, that now makes 32 "public" commits. UNC (8), UVA (7), Johns Hopkins (7) classes close to being filled up, Maryland has 4. How many more commits to you think are outr there (meaning actual verbals) that have not gone public yet? 10/20/30? This is happening very quickly, admittedly a decent percentage of the 32 have re-classified into the 2017 class (e.g., were 2016s), but that is still a lot. Nothing slowing this early commit thing down apparently.

Just got word that a 2018 will announce his commitment shortly. Not a joke!! I guess this is going as predicted! Crazy!

St A's or Cham?

St A's or Cham?

Neither. they would still be in middle school!!!

Would not surprise me, it's the way things are going. I thought it would have happened next year for and 8th grader. Looks like the runaway train is showing no signs of stopping...

That joke was lost on some I see. Since he is only in Middle school his committing should only be to what High school he goes to, not college.

It would be interested to see with this trend of younger commits do they stay home or go to the privates??

Any other LI boys that impressed? Goalies or D?

that was funny. But true.

the only persons getting committed should be the parents on this board.

Were not too many LI players there. Mostly New England and a lot of MD/DC. Crabs and Madlax defenseman very strong. Jesters goalie played real well! Made some crazy saves.

Jesters goalie parent 3D evaluators doesn't read this.

Actually, some of us do...and don't think college coaches don't take a peek...

Well then if thats the case here are my sons stats: He is 6'3 weighs 195 runs a 4.3 40 yard has a verticle of 45. His AI is off the charts. He lit it up at the 2018 Mid Atlantic Region and can play any position equally as well as the best player at that postion. I will be accepting college offers when he turns 13 my email is inyourdreams@aol.com

If any college coaches and evaluators rely on the BS thats written here their teams are in trouble.

Wow. Lot of free time?

If someone says something positive about someone who's not on 91 it must be his mom?!
The people who were there saw who played well and I am confident 3D evaluators did as well. Be happy for all the boys that went out and played hard.

Its so funny that a goalie from next level a MD team was mentioned today in the 2018 north east region of 3D write up or players to watch but he also played in last years 2017 group. TY states hes big for his age and fills up the net. Of course he's big he's probably 15. Another reclassification kid taking the spot of a true 2018.

Now that the committing time to the privates is upon us. I am interetsed to see a few things?
