Legacy and Titanium were the number 3 and 4 team at age last year. Getting the best from both teams will make them much stronger.

Does anyone know if they are looking for players? how do you find them?

Anyone who knows the groups being thrown together here knows they will be a talented group. How will they get all these kids on the field? Lot of $$ to play little minutes.

Will combining Legacy and Titanium make them stronger? Only time will tell as there are many things that could go wrong like the kids not liking each other so they don't play well together or the strengths of each team overlapping so the combination does nothing but frustrate some talented kids. It is also possible they become a much deeper, stronger team but with tournament games usually being so short and running time, not too much depth is needed so may not be a pronounced advantage. All that said, as a famous commentator once said, this is why you play the games. Let's at least let the kids play a game before we decide how any changes in the offseason have affected the teams.

Anyone who knows sports knows that NO MATTER how much [lacrosse] you kiss or who you know IT DOESNT MATTER we are getting into the true years now. This is the time when BOYS become MEN!!! and i dont care what anybody says SIZE DOES MATTER!!! you will start to see kids fall by the waist side now. kids are starting to go through puberty now. And there is no denying that size plays a major role. THE ONLY PARENTS WHO SAY SIZE DOESNT MATTER ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE SMALL KIDS!! check all the college rosters and you will see for yourself the stats are overwhelming..DONT BE AN [lacrosse] KISSER IN THE END IT WILL NOT MATTER!!!AND YOU ALL KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!

My son made the Outlaws Black but wasn't impressed with the talent at the tryout so he decided to stay with his current team. Does anyone know if that team, which I thought was a decent B team last year, lost players?

Feel bad for titanium?!? how about 91 white 2019 who constantly got over shadowed by 2020 crush. That 2020 crush group is a good team. In the next few years there could be some ebbs and flows. Like when they played the men of Laxachuesetts. Lets see how the maturation years effect them.

Some will be favored due to their connections with the organization. I susspect some of the newbies will not be satisfied not being a starter. If the started with 91 and sit the bench on legacy while less talented kids stay in due to politics, dont see it going over well. Will be interesting!

I think Crush will end up playing more in their own division when on the road in states that tend to have older kids on their team. I think someone was saying that the 2019 Crabs have 7 hold backs this year. Playing up against kids that are in full blown puberty could be a safety factor. I think they are a talented team, but it would be a bad move to play up and have your players injured. The 2020 teams should be more competitive this year- some kids started puberty and some have just blossomed skill wise. I think the next two year will be fun to watch the 2020 boys as a whole.

My son is on the taller side, but I have to disagree. There are some very tough small kids that run circles around some of their taller counterparts. Checking the rosters, although the majority hover near 6 foot, there are plenty of shorter kids who excel. Some of these small kids are muscular powerhouses with insane skill!

That's accurate. All very good players.

I think They got Rid of some weak kids and added better.

They are 12. You are contradicting yourself there are not many small players unless you are a Fogo. Don't kid yourself. 6 foot at least!!!

Don't know about that. Most of the early commits are well under 6 foot. Height is more important for defense. Many of the best attackmen are around 5 8" . Stick handling/dodging skills, speed, are paramount. The majority of boys reach their adult height by 16, then they fill out. Will the schools decommit these kids if they don't grow? Ludacris!

they wont decommit those kids they just will never see the field...im sorry you have a small kid and take offense to the truth. you can get away being small and shifty when you are young. try that playing attack when puberty hits you will be looking out your ear hole. SIZE DOES MATTER.

rob pannell? jordan wolf? case maethis? matt kavanaugh? kevin rice?

should I keep going?

rob panell, will manny, mikey powell????

My son's team picked up their leading scorer from last year so I'd say they may have gotten rid of some weak kids but they lost at least some quality kids as well.

Stupidity at its best! You should check facts before flapping your mouth hole! Plenty of standout college players under 5 10"

ok you are up to 8 with the thousands that play....and you are talking about the all americans(special players). the stats dont lie look up average size..im sorry you have a small kid if you are doing this for college GET A GRIP...SIZE DOES MATTER!!!

Just because you have a big meat head for a kid doesn't mean that he has any guarantee either. The point is all shapes and sizes have shot if you have speed, stick skills and grades. No doubt your kid has all three and he is a starter on terps or crush.

same post was talked about on 2017 last year.

Like I said, there are plenty of great players 5 10" and under. My son is not short, he is average height, as are his parents. I'm just wondering why you would bash the shorter players. So I guess what you are saying is that any kid not projected to be 5 11" or taller should just quit lax right now, as they have no chance.

Is that what your wife told you?5

so far, the '20 thread has best avoided the gutter; lets keep it that way, no matter who you support. Keep it to lax.

The best attackman in college lax are all under 5'10 u morons. Wolf, kavanagh, Dionne Matheis, and sankey all under 5'8".

I find it interesting that Duke's (Nat champ last 2 years) 3 of the best attackmen were under 5 9", One coming in at 5 7" (According to 2014 stats). I'm talking scoring leaders here. And, you were saying???

I guess you were wrong.

There is movement every year. We will see starting in June how it all plays out.

Movement yes, more than half of the team no.

I would hardly call it more than half the team.

the other kids went to igloo.

I would. 7 or 8 went to Legacy, a few went to Igloo and a couple defenseman went to Express B.

If 7-8 went to legacy, how many did they cut from that supposed "great" team? Or are there now 30 B Players on that team?

Clearly your son got cut from the team. I am sorry to hear it

Not exactly 30 but I am hearing 24 - 25 on that roster. Parents will not be happy especially with playing time and they will be looking for other options by spring

NOT!! Stayed away from that train wreck HAHA

How many teams does 91 have at this age group? I thought there were 4 - as per the try out selections, but only 3 listed under tournament page.
