DC Express?

[Anonymous]

Both of those DCE years had very successful recruiting results and your post seems like fake news sour grapes.

How did the showcase go today? It ended right about the time your post went up. Hmmm.

Had a son on DCE 25 and 26. Its not about BLC, its about Bullis and Prep and then backfilling until they can recruit kids. They are the most expensive of all the clubs regionally and there is no coaching - just coddling. Dumpster fire. If you can stand the drive, I would go to Hawks over any of the DC area clubs. Real coaching. Dedicated recruiting director that has coached before at UVA and Loyola. They are the real deal. Even all their B team kids get real looks and some solid commits.

Crazy. BLC ran the boys program into the ground in the last 5 years and now they’re taking on more?

DCE former owners can now focus solely on coaching and the BLC people can handle the business that distracts owners who coach. Considering some of the owners who coach around here this like a good separation of church and state to me.

Anzelone was the former owner and he got out just like i said he would when his son graduated. Mission accomplished. Now Urick can launch his kids.

Sadly this is the way of these clubs. Their kids and their kids' friends above all others.

IF BLC's recent track record with the boys' club program is any indication of how daddy ball is going to work with the older kids at DCE, this merger seems like it's going to be a disaster.

Tell me you know nothing about how small businesses are acquired without telling me. He might coach a year or two to provide continuity but at the end of the day he's out the door. He got his kids through and made his money and now onto bigger and better things.

I assume that was in reference to Anzelone and I couldn’t agree more. He is not some sort of lacrosse professional - he did that for his kid and saw it through. The end.

BLC is where they don’t do daddy ball - see ML 2027, NL 2030, NL 20 whatever McCavera - all teams formed at BLC with dad coaches who wanted to keep going so had to take their entire teams - cutting more and more original players every year of course - to these other places.

Did Urick stop coaching his kid's team?

Ah, no. These BLC daddy ball teams didn't implode because BLC wouldn't let the coaches continue to coach their teams. They imploded because the daddy coach model that BLC permits got so toxic that team after team disbanded in order to play for NL, ML, etc. where they largely avoid dad coaches.

I really was hoping for DCE to find a way through the fact that the BLC pipeline for talent in the 2030, 2031, 2032, 2033 etc. classes is so weak. Tying themselves even more strongly to the BLC pipeline is the worst thing they can do to build DCE from within.

Now Urick can ignore club parents like he did at GP.
