BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2017 Fall 2013/Summer 2014

Talk about an overinflated know it all. Did you learn any reading comprehension at your PAC 10 school or were you just the ultimate jock?

Read the OP again: it asked if the 2017's in general (not specifically the committed ones) are feeling any pressure as a result of the recent commits in the 2017 class.

Normally these issues would have been encountered in the upper classman years. Being that slots are now going earlier; does then the non committed, high caliber 2017 player feel any added pressures to perform better in order to secure their position at the school(s) of their dreams?

Accurate comments please.

Congratutlations to the only two Freshman named to the boys top 100 list in Newsday

F/O specialist from Commack Kevin Snyder

Attack from CSH Ian Laviano (Plays for team 91)

Awesome accomplishment!

Laviano plays for 91 now but was a Turtle for since they started until this year.

Who cares? He left because Turtles were holding him back, He really started to get noticed AFTER he left!

That's ridiculous he was the MVP of most high profile tournaments that he played with the Turtles including DICKS. He got noticed for his amazing skill while playing for the Turtles.

The 91 Cult needs to insert themselves whenever possible. They are still the little brother to the Express Brand. They have a couple of ex Turtles for their “older team”. They hang their hats on that for now. They are hoping that Extreme stays together (no shot, a bunch of them are heading to Chammy) and a 2020 team that hasn’t reached puberty yet. They need to get SOMEONE in a DI program to stay somewhat credible…

Actually they were teamates in forth grade with the Express. Now they are both with other programs

Why are you so angry Turtle daddy? Truth is, he was showing up the less skilled players, so he went where he would be appreciated. Stop trying to take credit for Ian, he's gone, worry about the rest of your team!

There are people in the know and people not. You my friend are the latter. Should you know the truth and perhaps his parents you would retract your hype. Stay thirsty...

Just think it's funny how Turtle parents always have to interject themselves with a pat on the back! Who cares if kid used to play for the Turtles! Fact is he left because he wasn't happy there. He was great before he was on that team and will continue to excel after. The post was stating that he was one of the only two freshman on the top 100 list. Maybe you should start a new thread abut the acompishments of former Turtles players, that way you can remind peple any time a former player gets an award that he used to play for you!

What are you guys going to do when your kids are in college, complain they are playing against some kids who are 21 when they are 18? Toughen up a little.

Maybe, maybe not. It would be nice to compete fairly for the chance, however.

a Very smart family behind that player , letting their son mature more before making a decision like that also a brilliant kid in the class room .

Ivy's and duke waiting for full year of grades. Good for him!! Congrats!!

Thats great if its true. Why is it that all the "best high profile" players are "waiting" f[b][/b]or Ivy's and Duke? could it be a case of that your not on radar strong enough yet? That ok you know. I guess schools like Penn, UNC, Bucknell, Hopkins and UVA are NOT high level academics thats why 2017's are committed to those schools so early. lol

Go hate somewhere else. you are another small minded bitter person.

Do most of you actually realize these commitments mean very little. Yes these 9th grade students most who are 15 and younger have three more years left to play lacrosse or decide that today's dream college is tomorrow's after thought. These children really have limited ability to realize what this decision means for their future. Until the financial paperwork is submitted and accepted be the university both sides could opt out. There is way too much time for these children to mature , decide perhaps they don't want to play, god forbid get hurt, fail classes the variables are many. If any of you think that any commitment you get now is concrete you are naive. When the perceived better player gets an offer your child can be bumped. This is not speculation but reality. With that said I hope everyone gets the opportunity their offered but until that child is enrolled anything can happen.

You do realize you are absolutely wrong! No University would rescind on a verbal (without proper justification) Their reputation wouldn't allow it. That is not my opinion, it is a fact. Nothing naïve about that. Can a child (& I believe at 15 they are children also) get hurt, decide not to play, absolutely but a coach would not destroy his reputation over a partial scholarship. However, we have heard of students opting out of their end of a verbal agreement, in favor of a better school. Sorry to burst you "Debbie Downer" bubble but, that's the reality.

what world are you living in... they do have the right to rescind the offer. you say they wont, okay believe what you want. with this push for early commits lets see how many get rescinded in the next 3/4 years.

Harvard just got out of a verbal commit in hockey - LI kid too
