I think your right, if sweet lax was playing, every 2018 verbal commit would be there Sunday. I guess with 4 2018 verbals they don't need to go.

I wanted my son to get the call as much as the next guy, but this is crazy nonetheless. We had the call and are going on a visit to a big lax school, what in the world does my true 14 year old have to say?
What does the coach expect him to ask? What should I ask? If they really want to recruit him, how many visits are we expected to make? Coach said we should be there most of the day to meet and then see practice and then tour school.
All comments--other than the nasty ones--are appreciated.

All comments--other than the nasty ones--are appreciated. they want to talk to the kid, not the parents - he needs to study up on the school, different colleges within the university, different majors. kids on the team that went to his high school ect. He must try to be as verbal as possible, eye contact is important and some idea of what he wants to major in and do with his life even though in reality he has no idea. Just try to stay in the background and remind him to try an answer all questions with more then one word answers. I have been through this with three kids but my 2018 is far and away the youngest and it is crazy ridiculous process regardless of age but now having to ask a 14 year old to do it is just crazy. Also tell him to relax and enjoy the ride.

Can't stand them, but Crabs 2018 is BY FAR the best 2018 team. Proved it today. No chance anyone else is close right now. Depressing.

Depressing. the beat a good a team today (that already lost earlier in the day) by two goals after being down 6-1 at half. Hardly the most dominating team in the land, just another one of the very good 2018 teams

Terps dad here
Terps went 2 and 2. Lost to Madlax in opening game 6 to 4 beat VLC and Texas and then lost to crabs 8-6 after being up 5-1 at half to end the day. All teams very competitive.
Crabs are a very good team for sure, but I would not put them ahead of 91. Terps just fell apart in second half and the back to back game at the end of a long day and terps couldn't close. Much credit to crabs for continuing to fight even when down.
Won't see many blow outs with this group, all teams very strong and every game will be a fight.
For teams I have seen I would rank as follows
91, crabs, dukes/terps, madlax, laxachusets, NH T. West coast stars, VLC and Texas all solid teams, but they will lose to the others consistently while putting up a great fight.
Even though terps lost to madlax yesterday, the terps played very poorly to start the day, so while not taking anything away from madlax, they will lose to terps more often than they will win...I think that when they put their madlax national team together, they rank much higher.
Haven't seen the FCA team but here they are if not the best, right at the top somewhere.
My opinions only, not putting down any of these teams, just ranking based upon what I have seen end of last summer and beginning of fall.
There must have been 10 D-1 programs on the sidelines yesterday. We saw Brown, Princeton, Harvard, Michigan, Penn State, JHU, UNC, MD...Parents, some free advice, I don't think these guys want to talk to you when they happen to be on the same sideline. If you do talk to them, don't tell them your kids name...

Terps lost the game to crabs due to poor coaching, yes they did play back to back games but the fact that MC only played 12(13) players and had the rest watch was, in my opinion, just poor coaching. the first half, he rotated player letting them rest but for some unknown reason, he decided, in his infinite wisdom, to push the 12(13) players and they were dragging. I have observed this from MC do this on several occasions in various tournaments and each time, they have lost. Just my observations, no affiliation with Express, just like watching quality games.

I would love to know who would be in Pasadena Md. at 4pm on a cold Sunday afternoon with no affiliation to the Express but just wanted to watch the game? no affiliation with the express yet was able to keep track of playing time of 24 players on a team that he/she has no affiliation with in both in the first half and the second half? are you a 91 parent or coach that was in no rush to get home so you stuck around for an extra hour to keep track of playing time? or perhaps you are in fact affiliated with the express and perhaps even affiliated with one of the players that did not play a lot in the second half? As for my observations of the game (I am affiliated with the team) The Crabs are better then the Terps - the first half the Terps won every faceoff, either straight win or procedure and the Terps wound up getting 2 or 3 man ups because of all the procedure penalties also in the first half the Terps goalie played the best half of goal tending I have ever seen. The second half possession was 75% Crabs, they are big- strong and fast and dominated the game. I think that they beat the Terps 10 out of 10 times no matter who the coach is.

Should be a great run this year.

The fact that this garbage has happended (many times) before and will likely continue doesn't make it any less gross.....Cannot imagine why a parent would pay the fees, gas, hotel, etc. to have their kid treated that way.

I just haven't seen them play you might remember them as 365 out of Westchester. solid team, can compete with best. 2018 has several teams from all over that can compete, it will really be hard to rank them without setting something up and inviting them. West Coast Stars, 3D Select, Brady's bunch, and who knows what we haven't seen.

re Mustangs, we beat Madlax yesterday but need to get more consistent to break into this discussion. We had a great weekend of competition and exposure, which we just can't get in TX. Wish we could play more, but it's expensive. Hope to see ya'll in Philly in 3 weeks.

For the record, all boys played a full day from what I saw. Remember there were four games. At first two games, there were a dozen D-1 coaches and boys all played, and had chances to shine in front of them. When the third game started (directly before crabs game) coaches were starting to thin out. There were only one of two present at the crabs game (D-1 guys for the most part left before the final game crabs v terps, as it was already late and I guess they had seen enough). We are talking about the last twenty minutes of a crabs game with no coaches around. MC decided to pay who he thinks are his horses, no fault there. No parent would drive the 5 hours and not have their kid play...

Thanks. Yes, Texas Mustangs beat Madlax 7-5. Hard fought game by both teams. Our boys and parents love the competition and it great learning experience against some really good teams like Madlax, LIE Terps, VLC, Freedom, etc. Can't get that in Texas.

[/i][i][i][/i] I can not confirm nor deny the playing time of all the kids but I am sure a few played less in the crabs game then they played in the first three games, the point of my post was that I question the persons claim to not being affiliated with the express yet knows the players well enough to know who is playing and how much they are playing. I have a kid on the team and I don't even know all the players on the team, and with them wearing their tryout pinnies and not regular numbers I couldn't name half the kids on the field at any one time yet this unaffiliated poster knows who played and how much they played well enough to say MC lost the game. silly silly silly

As for my observations of the game (I am affiliated with the team) The Crabs are better then the Terps - the first half the Terps won every faceoff, either straight win or procedure and the Terps wound up getting 2 or 3 man ups because of all the procedure penalties also in the first half the Terps goalie played the best half of goal tending I have ever seen. The second half possession was 75% Crabs, they are big- strong and fast and dominated the game. I think that they beat the Terps 10 out of 10 times no matter who the coach is. One thing missing from your post is a denial of the allegation that only 1/2 the kids on the team actually played in the game.This issue has been discussed repeatedly on this site, but if only 1/2 the kids played he should be beyond ashamed. Getting kids all jacked up for a big recruiting weekend only to have them just stand around freezing their asses off with no chance to show the litany of D-1 coaches what they can do....real nice. The fact that this garbage has happended (many times) before and will likely continue doesn't make it any less gross.....Cannot imagine why a parent would pay the fees, gas, hotel, etc. to have their kid treated that way. [/i][i][i][/i] I can not confirm nor deny the playing time of all the kids but I am sure a few played less in the crabs game then they played in the first three games, the point of my post was that I question the persons claim to not being affiliated with the express yet knows the players well enough to know who is playing and how much they are playing. I have a kid on the team and I don't even know all the players on the team, and with them wearing their tryout pinnies and not regular numbers I couldn't name half the kids on the field at any one time yet this unaffiliated poster knows who played and how much they played well enough to say MC lost the game. silly silly silly Agreed. Can't stand having to learn new numbers...However, some of the kids now helping us out by wearing school helmets..

Terps lost the game to crabs due to poor coaching, yes they did play back to back games but the fact that MC only played 12(13) players and had the rest watch was, in my opinion, just poor coaching. the first half, he rotated player letting them rest but for some unknown reason, he decided, in his infinite wisdom, to push the 12(13) players and they were dragging. I have observed this from MC do this on several occasions in various tournaments and each time, they have lost.

Now that we know how the Terps did in their first tourney - how about the rest of the 2018 teams? Big weekend for tourneys how did everyone do? Extreme? 91 Orange? Outlaws? fl$? Jesters? Wolverines?

Talk about a confidence killer. I'm sure there were a lot of consoling in those car rides home.

just a thought here, if a kid is not a top player on his team at this time and his coaches feel three or four players on his own team are better then him, again, at this point. do you really think another shift or two in front of D1 coaches is really going to be a life changer?

They all paid the same amount of money. If the playing time was going to be unequal then that should be stated up front. There are lots of clubs that have a philosophy that wins and losses don't mean anything and that there will be equal time for all regardless of the score. Obviously, Express is not one of those clubs. In high school and college you can't expect equal playing time. But in the pay for play world, that should be the only way.
