Half the terp team was at Penn state... Funny how things change in a week. When the 2018 team "beat up" on half of the 2017 in a meaningless scrimmage they pumped their chests. But now they get beat by the Express North team and the excuses come flying. Hilarious! They are all part of the same organization. People will be missing games and tournaments from now on because of showcases, prospect days etc. You rarely will have a full team at anything. You will figure out soon enough it is not about wins and losses - nobody cares. It is about getting your kid better and hopefully into a college you can be proud of to play lacrosse. That is the end game... The second half of this post should be pinned to every forum - THAT is the goal They are 14 year olds (or 16 if reclassified ). Not too many 9th graders will be recruited this year. The end game here is money for the clubs and schools. Wake up. These kids don't even have any HS grades yet. Unless your kid is the exception ( and you all think he is ) you are losing perspective. Play so you improve, so you can make and play on HS team, play to maybe "have fun" and college recruiting will come for the better players. It will come at different times depending on age, schools , exposure and most importantly grades!!

You're embarrassing yourself! "too" s/b "TWO" "n" s/b "Ns" and Since 1855 when Penn State was founded. Any other questions genius??

There is a right fit school for each kid. Get over it, most of these kids will be playing D3 when it's all said and done. Which in case you have no idea, is not easy! Buckle in.

Looking forward to the Fall Terrapin Classic on Sunday (11/2). The lineup of 2018 teams includes Team 91, LI Express, Crabs, Madlax, West Coast Stars and Blackwolf. I hope the organizers see fit to pair up a bunch of these teams that never play each other - e.g. Blackwolf and Team 91. Should be some very good lacrosse.

All they do is trash talk and try and get people fouled up on too vs two and pen vs Penn (childish). Well said above poster. You have perspective and get it. Best of luck to you and your son and you will clearly enjoy the journey and the destination will present itself.

As a parent, what is my role, if any, on a college visit? Do I do the tour, lunch, etc? Do I just drop him off? When my son meets the coach do I join in? Do I just shut up unless money gets brought up? Thanks in advance

You should post the same question on the 2017 page - likely to get more informed answers there.

Do I just shut up unless money gets brought up? Thanks in advance stay in the back, they want to interact with the kid not the parents - I have heard they also look to see how the kid interacts with the parent (respectful not rolling the eyes). after the first few minutes it usually becomes pretty relaxed and conversational, just try to make sure your kid is always walking next to the coach on the tour they really want the interaction and the tour is a much less stressful and has a lot of natural unforced conversation. make sure the kid has prepared questions for the coaches, both athletic and academic and if they do not ask questions the coaches think they are not interested.

Real Question, if Philly and Maverick already scheduled, do we need to pay $675 to go to JR? They gave like a week to send in $275...

We are also already attending Philly and Maverik. We've ignored the 3d Blue Chip invite in Florida, but if we receive a direct invite to Jake Reed I think we would go. Currently we have no such invite. Are direct Jake Reed invites now out?

Philly is 240 individuals
Maverik is 160
JR is 240 (120 direct/120 through 3dbc)
I think all three are reasonably sized, elite top of the line showcases.
3dbc has 600 players (of which the top 120 go to JR)
-that is top 120 as determined by 3d
-3dbc is not in and of itself a recruiting showcase it is a 3d run tryout for a recuiting showcase

for 675$ you could probably attend 3 to 4 prospect camps. Better of narrowing your school and attend there camps.

I have spent countless hours throwing with him over the years. Also, as I would be driving him to this it is a joint decision. What is your real issue here? Bitter about something? To answer your unstated point, the fact that he is an excellent athlete is all about him, not me. Although I can take credit for his speed. 😉

The MEN who are commenting are JEALOUS because their sons were not invited. That is because they were probably lousy lax players in HS who were bullies, the real kind. They grew up, got married had kids and had hoped their sons would do better. Only thing is: KARMA got them. Remember, YOU are making memories with your son which is more than these guys. Good Luck to you all. A Lax Mom
