Who won 2016 bracket at Laxfest yesterday?

Swwetlax won A with two LI ringers on board.

91 won AA, but lost soundly to the Sweetlax team last weekend.

Swwetlax from upstate raiding LI key players with "sweet" scholarships! Seems to be working for them!

Where did Mack light it up? Nassau/Suffolk game?

He is also their best mid and Set is not as deep at mid as they are at attack.

This is 2016 thread, take it there.

I am sure the head coach is reading this so he can pick his team for next year. With all this information why hold tryouts

Yes. Read that he had 2 goals and 2 assists. Only Manhasset attack mentioned as doing anything significant in any of the games. He's going to bump somebody out of the Set attack lineup next season.

You obviously have no idea what happened this past season or what they have there. Also, this is 2016 thread, talk about it there.

I would not use the term "lit up". No one "lit up" anything for Nassau. The hype on some kids is unreal

4 pts playing only half the game against an all-star defense is called "litin' it up!". The screws are turnin' and it's gettin crowded up front.

Hype is only when you can't back it up on the field. Watch what happens this summer and next Spring. Lets revisit next June.

Moving Dunn out of position solved one problem but created another. He's too valuable at attack for them to make that mistake again.

Where is Dunn playing in college? Is he 2016 or 2015? If you had Dunn, Keough and Mack at attack you might have the best attack line on the island. Nice problem to have.

Seen him? Filthy.

What's up with the Barracudas this year? Heard they are not that good and a few kids left Channy high and dry.

I hope this kid is not reading his parents posts. Embarassing!

You are dlusional my friend and need help.

Maybe this guy is right . The coach may try to promote his son on the first midfield line. After all he strong armed the showcase evaluators to put his own kid on the 2016 Roster.

Sad but not true. 9 commited kids are playing on the commited team. This gave others the chance to be seen.

Just like he left 2017 Terps,

Who left the 2017 Terps?????

Which coach is trying to promote his son on the first midfield line, and "strong armed" the evaluators?

had man up asst, and goals in last few minutes, hardly an impact at all. No one stood out for nassau

Current Barracudas are not as strong as previously. Committed players no longer on the team, whether playing on a committed team within or outside Express. the expanded roster exposes many of the weaker players, who would not be on this team had it stayed intact. Despite some weaknesses, it is an opportunity for all to be seen

Congrats! But why is this on the 2016 discussion board? Are you trying to make the 2016 kids/parents nervous? The kid didn't even play varsity this year. How is it you expect him to step in and take over? The game you cite was against other 2017s who had never played together. Maybe he's great against his own age, but in order to be a standout he's got to prove himself against 2016s and 2015s who play on a team. Calm your jets.

Nobody cares! Stop promoting your son! Manhasset's Attack is set for next year. Look forward to seeing your son "tear it up" on JV next season.

If set is like any other top lacrosse HS, if too deep at attack they will keep the younger down on JV no matter how "good" he is, better to play and start every game than garbage time on Varsity. No way would it happen.

Yes. Read that he had 2 goals and 2 assists. Only Manhasset attack mentioned as doing anything significant in any of the games. He's going to bump somebody out of the Set attack lineup next season.

Kevin's mom here. I have waited the 24 hour rule and against perhaps my better judgement am allowing myself to reply here. Neither his parents or any relative are responsible for these posts. We have only viewed the thread because our friends told us of the content. (This 2016 thread seems less vicious than the 2017 thread however)

Kevin's play stands or falls on its own. While its nice that he has supporters, the opportunity for him to contribute to a very deep and talented attack group in Manhasset next year will be determined on the field - not on this or any other forum

After an underwhelming season offensively, nobody is locked in for next year and nobody should feel safe at their position. That would go for Manhasset or any other team that did not live up to its potential.

Hey Kevin's mom - your son is an excellent player and is good enough to shake things up next season. The mentality of entitlement that some of the incumbent varsity attack have that they are already "set" is what's wrong with what's going on. When kids feel locked in they don't work as hard. Hopefully your son helps makes the situation uncomfortable so everybody raises their game and the talent on the team, whoever starts, reaches its full potential. Competition for positions is healthy for a team - the more the better. The "locked in" mentality is poison.

Competition is good. Just don''t see any Attack coming up displacing what's already there. There's a middie however who may may be ready.

Regardless of where kids have been recruited, the performance on the field did not live up to what anybody would expect. Nobody should feel safe just because the are going to big lax U. Maybe a message needs to be sent.

Kindly don't consider me a troll coming over from the 2017 thread, but a question to this thread. Are your early committed kids happy and stable with their choices? There has been more than a few 2015 verbal commits de-committing.

Been hearing some rumblings. Sends a very bad message. If you make a commitment, you need to stick to it. There are certain reasons I could see like maybey you commit to an Ivy, and your grades suck, otherwise, it is not a descision to take lightly. It's like getting a divorce. St. Anthonies kid decommitted today from Ohio State for no reason. That makes him look terrible!

Pandoras box has been opened and by result of college coaches pushing the commitment earlier and earlier the decommit becomes a tool for the buyer. In this case the rising soph or jr that has a change of heart. Can you blame a 14,15 or 16 yo? My bet is this kid will have a half dozen offers by Friday.

How foolish and naïve you sound. If a better offer comes your way. You TAKE it. This is real life, it's business, wake up.

He must have already had another better situation in hand otherwise all of the top-tier (academic or lax) programs are pretty much full with 2015s. Who knows, maybe he decided he'd rather be a 4 year starting stud in D3.
