I don't believe that is an excuse, just stating facts. They will play with what they have, they always do and those players will work extra hard to win.

so do those players usually not work extra hard?

Many kids going to 205 , some jake reed , all $ making for the 2018
Level , next year the year to go . Oh well $ making event for 2018 level not the 2017 level . Play with who you have terps have 32 players on there team . No excuses

Please...I think everyone on this thread agrees, including terps parents, that 91 Extreme is best at this age. No need to make excuses for Terps, they win their fair share against all opponents and when they lose, they do so with a little dignity.

No need for excuses, you all know how good they are. Plenty of D-1 commits will come from this team, and that is the focus now, not another tee shirt, we have a whole drawer full...

For all of you that think the coaches aren't watching, you are making a mistake. Last two weeks at adrenaline and then at Dukes invitational, all the big boys were there and watching these 8th grade boys compete. Is it too early? Who knows, but regardless of your opinion on the topic, the first early recruits will later this fall, only a few months away.

Good luck to all of you, maybe this week is your turn to win a tee shirt. Better yet, maybe some coach will see your kid play and send him the questionnaire email...

It's like the OBLL,.....you will get Friday night!

Actually it was posted on the website this afternoon

So how do you get your kid exposure? Is that from Club team playing in the right tourneys? (eg Adrenaline?) For next year, what are the right tourneys for rising sophomores? Is that from trying out for the Jake Reeds/Brines? Is that from going to showcases?

Who has more d-1 caliber players? Jesters black, outlaws black, or tribe? A little early for this but just wondering

we are no experts on this recruiting game. But I think for someone to get looked at it either needs to be a small venue or the coaches are going to a large venue specifically to see that kid (and the only way that happens is if that kid sends something proactively to coach). Clubs get into events and I had one in LI Lax fest, but there were 16 fields and 1000s of kids. No way to stand out long enough to get exposure and I didn't see any coaches on the rising 8th grade sidelines, but maybe I missed them. WHereas other poster, if being hoenst said there were a bunch at Dukes and Adrenaline and both of those were very small events...

For JR, I think anyone who made that list and is attending from this grade got those form letter emails from various programs asking for info about the player. I have seen Ohio state, Michigan, ND, UNC and one other, but those were all form letter emails.

I am not sure how or when you know when a school is serious unless they call your coach and tell him...

Brine sent out a similar thing yesterday for form letters. This is all very confusing. Can't wait for the Brine next week they have parent recruiting seminars, recruiting 101. I don't mind going to these events. However, I would like to see past results. Meaning this kid got a commitment because he attended that showcase. Sort of performance stats. One interesting fact about the Brine was they asked, if possible, to not wear club helmets.

Can any 2018 team who played at laxfest 2018 honestly say they do not have ONE player who is not born before 12/1 1999? That is cutoff date for an actual 2018 in NY. It is actually earlier in all other states but we will give them the couple of month window!

Do not think we will have too many teams speak up here!

Well, then how many teams can claim U-14 - which according to US Lacrosse for 2018 is where these boys should fit

Not one single team claims to be actually legitimate 2018 by age!! Thought we would see one or two!

Actually there are, but would never post it here so you nut jobs could then start picking the team apart and singling out individual kids, accusing them of being older than they actually are. Everyone knows who the holdbacks are, trust me.

Really, you think Brine is better than JR? I was told just the opposite and that Brine was full of office politics. We didn't go that route based on what I heard, but maybe we should have.

I will let you know college recruiters after JR end of this week and perhaps you can share same after brine.

Anyone know anything about the Philly Freshman Showcase in November. Worth going to ? Cost ?

Thanks

my son just checked into Jake Reed and go a room on the third floor, does anybody know what that means? I assume it is better then the second floor but I can not see how he is not on the top floor. any insight or advice would be appreciated
